Critics Consensus: Awesomenauts

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Awesomenauts a new 2-D brawler similar to the game Skullgirls that came out a while back.
Fighting games have been really popular in this year of 2012. We have had Street Fighter X Tekken, Ultimate Marvel Vs. Capcom 3,Mortal Kombat,Skullgirls,and now we have Awesomenauts. So this new fighting game has been getting great reviews from critics. The lowest score was a 7.0! Awesomenauts is fun,fast-paced,cheap,and has hours on content.
So the only problem is that you need to chip a few hours into it. If you have patience that's okay.
Overall if you own an Xbox 360 or Playstation 3 and Mortal Kombat was to gory for your tastes, you should definitely get this.
Awesomenauts is rated T.

Critics Consensus: Bernie

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Bernie a movie about a funeral director starring Jack Black.
I do not know about you but I think of Jack Black as the Eddie Murphy of the industry. He had good recognition but then his career was basically over because now if he stars in a movie it usually sucks. Well good news Jack Black fans, Bernie breaks the curse. Why you ask? Bernie has a good plot, it is funny, and Jack Black portrays the character he is playing well. So even though Bernie has a weird and awkward plot it's one of Jack Black's best.
Overall if it is playing in a theater near you go see this movie.
Bernie is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus: Mortal Kombat (Vita)

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the port of 2011's Mortal Kombat.
 In 2011 NetherRealm innovated the fighting drama with Mortal Kombat. Almost a year later it is on the Playstation Vita. So is it good? An 88 on Metacritic explains otherwise. The new Mortal Kombat is cheap, has new characters, does not have a lot of glitches, and has many hours of content. It does not have any negative things about it. All the critics have given it a positive score. That's right all the critics have given it a positive score.
Overall if you are a fighting fan and you finished Skullgirls and own a PSVita, you should definitely check this out.
Mortal Kombat is rated M.

Critics Consensus: The Five Year Engagment

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is The Five Year Engagement a new romantic comedy starring Jason Segel and Emily Blunt.
The Five Year Engagement is a romantic comedy about a couple that their engagement is 5 years. (Duh!) Anyway that means it is a probably long movie. (Not 5 hours but a 2 hrs and 4 mins.) That is one of the problems with The Five Year Engagement. The movie feels like it should have been the 3 Year Engagement.
Nevertheless the movie is actually pretty funny and fun to watch.
Overall if you want to see this movie go. You might just be looking at your watch once or twice waiting until it ends.
The Five Year Engagement is rated R.

Critics Consensus: The Walking Dead: Episode 1

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is The Walking Dead Episode 1 a new game series based on the comic book.
You watched both seasons of the TV show. You read the comics. Now it's your lucky day. If you have Steam,an Xbox 360, or a Playstation 3. The Walking Dead game is here but just like Telltale would they put it in episodes. Well it's off to a great start. The Walking Dead: Episode 1 has good graphics,a great plot formation,cheap and does not feel like a point and click adventure.
Overall get this unless you don't like point and click and you like games like Dead Island. This is not for you then.
The Walking Dead: Episode 1 is rated M.
