Critics Consensus: XCOM Enemy Unknown

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a remake of the beloved franchise XCOM.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown had a troubled history. It was supposed to come out in 2011 and be a first person shooter, then it was split into two games under fan demand (one strategy, one FPS.) The first person shooter is supposed to come out next year but only time will tell about that. Though for the strategy game, Guardian called it one of the best games of the year, Game Informer and VideoGameszone.de praised the dialogue choices,Canadian Online Gamers praised the visuals,and lastly Planet Xbox 360 stated that this is how you bring a franchise back from the dead.

Overall please get this game. If you are an XCOM fan run to the store now. Unless it is midnight.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown is rated M.

Critics Consensus: Fable: The Journey

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new Fable game endorsed with the Kinect.

Peter Molyneux is usually tossed around as a joke for hardcore gamers for never delivering promises. The Kinect has been usually tossed around by hardcore gamers for never delivering promises. Well what happens when you mix the two of those together? A 59 on Metacritic, GameInfomer complaining that it makes you feel like you are drunk,the game being called boring by Everyeye.it,and lastly being called a failure by Metro Game Central. so overall the only good thing about this game is good use of the Kinect.
Overall only get this game if you are a hardcore Fable fan.

Fable: The Journey is rated T.

Critics Consensus: The Oranges

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is The Oranges a new indie drama comedy.

Oranges to most people are yummy, delicious and good. Sadly this movie is the opposite. The Oranges is about drama for a family who lives on Orange Drive. According to The Miami Herald, Slant Magazine,The Playlist and Time Out New York, The Oranges has poorly written dialogue,a bad script and according to a Rotten Tomatoes Critics Consensus, is just not funny at ALL. The only good thing about The Oranges is the acting which the Boston Globe praised.

Overall only see this movie if you really really want to. Do not tell me I did not warn you.

The Oranges is rated R.

Critics Consensus: Dishonored

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Dishonored a new game from Bethseda.

Graphics:
3DJuegos praised the artistic work,G4 TV praised the style of the graphics, and lastly Official Xbox Magazine UK loved the concept art. The graphics in Dishonored are standard triple A title graphics except maybe just a bit better.
Gameplay:
Telegraph praised the stealth tools,Guardian acclaimed the missions,BigPond Game Arena loved the weapons,Meristation explained the open world in positive detail, to keep it straight gameplay is the best thing about Dishonored. No doubt about that.
Other (Sound,Plot.)
Nothing is terribly weak in Dishonored, but if there is something that is not spectacular it is the plot. Telegraph stated that it was predictable and Gamer Limit said that it was too short. It is still good but not amazing.
Overall:
Please get Dishonored. If you do not have enough money wait and the second you have enough run to the store. This will define you as a gamer.
Trailer:

Dishonored is rated M.

My Personal Opinion: Frankenweenie

NOTE: This is different than the posts we have on this blog because instead of the critics opinion this is my opinion. This time it is Frankenweenie.

It is hard to watch Frankenweenie for the first time without being reminded of Para-Norman and vice versa. Para-Norman is better than Frankenweenie but nevertheless Frankenweenie is still a good movie for multiple reasons. However, it still has it's problems. For example Frankenweenie has little attention to detail sometimes and the start of the movie is a bit predicable. It still has good animation,writing and voice acting but I feel like once the suspense starts in this movie it immediately ends so that is why I am giving Frankenweenie a 7.0 out of 10.

Frankenweenie is rated PG.
