Critics Consensus:Bioshock Infinite:Burial At Sea;Episode 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the finale to Bioshock Infinite!
Bioshock Infinite has had a lot of rough turns. It sells amazing but then takes 8 months to get DLC out. The DLC gets mixed reviews for being short and then shortly after Irrational Games closes. Than the final episode of Burial At Sea is released. Lets see if it's better than the first one because in this one you get to play as Elizabeth!
Burial At Sea Pt2 is substantially higher than Burial At Sea Pt1 on Metacritic all for the right reasons. It's got wonderful level design, enjoyable gameplay,great graphics,art design, and sound design. Pretty much everything a Bioshock fan could ask for. Except with Irrational closing and all that critics like GameTrailers,IGN, and God Is A Geek say that this  is the biggest surprise we've had from Bioshock for a while.
Overall get this DLC.
Burial At Sea Part 2 is rated M.

Critics Consensus:Diablo 3:Reaper Of Souls

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new expansion pack for Diablo 3!
Most people were insanely disappointed with Diablo 3 due to the server issues,non improvement over the other games, and mainly not being worth the decade long wait and all the delays it had. But now there's a new Diablo 3 expansion pack\DLC that promises it will be what Diablo 3 was supposed to be and bring you back to Diablo. Lets see if all that was the truth.
The short answer is mostly. The long answer is Diablo 3 Reaper Of Souls isn't the gigantic messup that Diablo 3 was as it has no server issues or auction house, but still has some gripes like the price and same Diablo 3 fare in-between as explained by GamingTrend,IGN and GameInformer. It's a nice package in between but for many non-hardcore Diablo fans this falls on the expensive side.
Overall only get this if you want to.
Diablo 3:Reaper Of Souls is rated M.

Critics Consensus:Muppets Most Wanted

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new Muppets movie!
The Muppets was one of the few surprisingly good movies in 2011 in a year without many good movies. Now the Muppets is back but let's see if Hollywood made it another boring cheesy sequel without any direction or laughs or a great adventure for the kids and the family. 
Well The Muppets:Most Wanted isn't the big bombastic sequel Muppets fans,kids or anybody in particular was looking for but it delivers enough laughs, celebrity cameos, and great performances and voice acting to keep us engaged until the boring last act as stated by Reviews On The Run. Fortunately when critics are having this much fun it's hard to bring it down that much as it has a 77% on RottenTomatoes and a 61 on Metacritic.
Overall see this movie if you have the time.
Muppets Most Wanted is rated PG.

Critics Consensus:Divergent

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new adaptation of the young adult hit Divergent!
Many people are predicting Divergent to be the next Hunger Games like hit. It's got a somewhat same plot, that same young adult fanbase, and aspiring young adult actors that could be the next Jennifer Lawrence. However thats not happening. Why? Divergent has a 48 on Metacritic and a 40% on RottenTomatoes.
It's been chastised for it's dumb script,monotone direction, and no coherence or depth. One of the few things the critics have praised is the acting but even that's not up to par with The Hunger Games when you have a horrible script. It may be candy for fangirls but really Divergent is just another generic book adapted movie and trust me you can do much better than this.
Overall only see this movie if you really want to.
Divergent is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus:Infamous Second Son

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new super-powered behemoth Infamous:Second Son!
The long awaited reason to get a Playstation 4 is finally here but is it too ambitious? The reason I'm asking this is because Infamous:Second Son isn't like the other Infamous games. Instead of staying with one power and variants of that power, you get more and more powers over time such as smoke,concrete,neon and fire. Anyway Let's find out if it is.
Infamous Second Son is getting somewhat mixed reviews. Mostly critics such as VideoGamerTV are complaining about how the game introduces some of the powers late like the neon powers (6 hours in) and how it's somewhat repetitive. However it is a great game to get for your Playstation 4 and is definitely worth the money for the great voice acting,story,and graphics. Speaking of graphics the game has been praised for that the most as the Space Needle is beautiful from a view as well with the environments.
Overall get this game.
Infamous Second Son is rated T.
