One Of The Worst: Dark

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Dark a new vampire stealth game.
So Kalypso is a small production company. The biggest franchises they have are probably Tropico and Sins Of The Successor. Well Tropico 3 was probably their biggest hit. So the money they got from that they wanted to make a vampire stealth game called Dark.
Holy Crap. GameInformer called Dark one of the worst games of this generation saying that Ride To Hell:Retribution was better than it. The AI is horrific,and the production costs are horribly bad. The plot starts and is never mentioned again and IGN said Vampire Rain was Metal Gear Solid compared to this.
Overall just no. Just no.
Dark is rated M.

Critics Consensus: The Lone Ranger

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is The Lone Ranger a reboot of the classic radio show.

You know a movie's bad when it's predictable in both ways. The Lone Ranger cost 250 million to make and audiences and critics alike thought it was not going to do very well. Well box office numbers have come in and its doing horribly and guess what to? The plot is also predictable. 
The Lone Ranger is tedious, repetitive, and long. The movie looks good as NPR said and ReviewsOnTheRun praised Armie Hammer's performance but this movie was hellbound anyway. Now way to save it.
Overall do not see this movie.
The Lone Ranger is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus:Despicable Me 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the sequel to Despicable Me!


Remember how Pixar shined the market in animation a couple years back? Well underdogs started arriving into the stage especially Despicable Me which now has a sequel but the question yells is it any good. Surprisingly yes.
Despicable Me 2 is one of those rare movies where every single person working on it works their ass off. The movie looks beautiful and Steve Carell is an amazing voice actor for Gru as ReviewsOnTheRun said. Despicable Me 2 is proof that animated movies can now be refreshing.
Overall see this movie now.
Despicable Me 2 is rated PG.

Critics Consensus:The Walking Dead:400 Days

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is The Walking Dead:400 Days!
The Walking Dead was one of the big hitters of 2012 (game or show) and even won a few Game Of The Year awards. Actually a lot more than a few. But now with a new episode can Telltale unearth the amazing emotional experience that was Season 1?
Well Telltale hit the nail in the head literally again. Polygon-90 IGN Italia-85 Game Informer-80, 400 Days is amazing. Too bad its just a little too short.
Overall get this game. Its only $5!
The Walking Dead:400 Days is rated M.

Critics Consensus:Company Of Heroes 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Company Of Heroes 2!!!
Remember 2006? Remember 2006 and how it had that shining star? The shining star being Company Of Heroes? Well let's face it. Now strategy is a dying genre being killed by big blockbuster shooters. So can Company Of Heroes 2 live up to the seven year hype? Let's find out. 
Good news and bad news. Company Of Heroes is an amazing game as critics such as Destructoid, Cheat Code Central, and Strategy Informer stated. The gameplay is top-notch filled with great graphics and a compelling storyline. The only problem is that it's more of the same but I'm sure a Company Of Heroes fan will still love it.
Overall get this game.
Company Of Heroes 2 is rated M.
