Critics Consensus:Shovel Knight

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new 8 bit inspired Shovel Knight!!
It's pretty much obvious now that all third party WiiU support has vanished so what is there to look forward to besides first party games? Well theres a couple of indies scattered around such as Blok Drop U,Ittle Dew,Stick It To The Man, and SHOVEL KNIGHT!!!
Shovel Knight?!? It sounds dumb but just watch the video above this text and read all the astonishing reviews. Even IGN said during their Game Scoop that it was a serious contender for Game Of The Year and the reviews certainly make it out to be. It's a true testament to the power of old school gaming and how it should never be forgotten and Cobrainon Games also said that you should buy BOTH versions because this one is essential on the go. Who knew the indie hit of 2014 would be on the WiiU?
Preposterous.
Overall get this game. 
Shovel Knight is rated E10+.

Critics Consensus:Valiant Hearts:The Great War

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new artsy Ubisoft game based off of the horrors of war,Valiant Hearts!
Say what you want about Ubisoft and all the controversy surrounding the Watch Dogs hype,lack of female characters,and micro transactions in The Division. Because when these people put their mind to it they can create some amazing beautiful stuff. First we got Rayman Legends. Next was Child Of Light. And now Valiant Hearts.
Valiant Hearts:The Great War is an art piece. Digitally Downloaded praised how it took a new direction of how war is portrayed in games and how it is really never fun and Eurogamer Italy praised how the game also took a spin at human nature. It's also received and 82 on Metacritic and 3 9\10s. This game is an artistic masterpiece to say the least and we should support Ubisoft to make more games like this. So go buy it right now.
Yes I mean now. Steam,XBLA,PSN whatever. Now is the time.
Valiant Hearts:The Great War is rated T.

Critics Consensus:Think Like A Man Too

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the sequel to Think Like A Man!
In the last couple of years we've seen a spike in black comedy films. No not black comedy like dark humor,black comedy like actual black comedians. The most notable one being Kevin Hart for example. Well hes back again in the all new Think Like A Man Too. Let's see how it us shall we?
Not surprisingly Think Like A Man Too has all the worst mistakes in all the worst places. It's got a 22% on RottenTomatoes, an average score of 4.6,a 37 on Metacritic,and has some preferably bad statements from critics. Such as "this movie will detach your corneas" from RichardRoeper "everything about the film smacks up laziness from RogerEbert.com and "straight up obnoxious" from Blu-ray.com.
You got the point. Don't see this one folks.
Think Like A Man Too is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus:Jersey Boys

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new movie based off of some triumphant rock classics,Jersey Boys!!
Everyone knows it and their sick of it. It pretty much plagues America yet idiots with IQs less than hamsters love it. What am I talking about? Modern music. Whether it be bass drops set to the tune of Lil Wayne or songs that for 4 minutes only say the two words Booty Shake a lot of us want music back to the old days. So why don't we set tune to a movie that appreciates and praises that age? We can in the all new Jersey Boys but lets check if it's good first.
Like a beloved singer performing a concert with a voice crack the movie has some problems. Some critics like Movie City News,Movie Talk, and ScreenRant complained about the movie pretty much sung to the tune of the elderly demographic or how every 10 minutes a boring scene pops up like a cameo singer. Jersey Boys is acceptable to say the least. We just know that Warner Bros,Christopher Walken, and Clint Eastwood all could have put in the extra note.
Overall only see this movie if you want to.
Jersey Boys is rated R.


Critics Consensus:How To Survive (WiiU)

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new top down twinstick zombie shooter How To Survive!
There's been a lot of buzz around How To Survive for the WiiU lately mainly because it's gonna be a port of an overlooked zombie survival game that came out back in December and it's gonna be published by 505 Games. Yep, the same guys that made Sniper Elite for the WiiU without any multiplayer,DLC,or co-op. Ya you guys are really trying to support the WiiU here. Anyway let's see what the critics think about:How To Survive!
Unfortunately How To Survive contains little to no improvements of the old 360,PS3,and PC versions. Critics like Digitally Downloaded  complained about the game being nothing more than a little bit of dumb fun and nothing more then that. Nintendo Life also said that the game trying to be in the middle of the chaotic zombie frenzied shooter genre and the open world survival genre doesn't help it that much actually. While it's one of the better versions of the game,How To Survive still falls flat. Better luck next time Evo Software.
Overall only get this game if you want to.
How To Survive is rated M.
