Critics Consensus:Payday 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the sequel to the hit Payday!
The original Payday:The Heist was a hit. Sure it was pretty buggy, did not have the best AI, and was kind of repetitive but it was a breath of fresh air from all the military shooters that came out in 2011. Well Overkill was happy with the results so they decided to go all out with a sequel.
Payday is one of those games were it's only fun with another player even if they screw up a bunch. The singleplayer in Payday is always nothing special as GameInformer said but the non-stop through the roof action definitely makes up for it. Also its insanely addictive as IGN said and comes with a lot more content.
Overall get  this game.
Payday 2 is rated M.




My Personal Opinion:Pikmin 3

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is my review of Pikmin 3.

Pikmin fans have been waiting years for the next Pikmin anthology and it was originally announced as a launch title for the WiiU. Then countless delays happened but somehow it's out. And is it worth the wait? 
I would not say that it was worth a ten year wait but Pikmin 3 is probably going to be one of the best games for the WiiU ever. Pikmin 3 is fun and encourages you to be smart with your gameplay mechanics. You have to plan every day out or you will lose Pikmin and fruit and it gets very intense sometimes despite the cutey art style.  Talking about the art style the graphics are amazing and use every ounce of the WiiU's capability.
Pikmin 3 is getting a 9.25 out of 10 from me. Definitely buy a WiiU for this one.

Critics Consensus:Mario & Luigi:Dream Team

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new Mario role-playing game!!
Nintendo has been really heavy on 3DS titles lately with hits like Luigi's Mansion 2:Dark Moon, Animal Crossing:New Leaf and Fire Emblem:Awakening. Now it's bringing a new role playing Mario franchise to the 3DS about crossing dimensions.
Well Nintendo does not fail yet again (3DS that is) Dream Team has an 82 on Metacritic with critics praising it's fun unique role playing gameplay unlike any Mario game. The only knock-off is that it's very long with a whopping thirty hours as Vandal Online said. But usually fun rules all.
Overall get this game.
Mario and Luigi:Dream Team is rated E10+.

Critics Consensus:Percy Jackson:Sea Of Monsters

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new not so long awaited Percy Jackson sequel.

It's funny because the original Percy Jackson didn't even do well commercially or critically. It was meant to be the next Harry Potter or Twilight series but nothing really boosted it to fame. But you know what? Every thing gets the sequel tag slapped on it so here's another one.
Percy Jackson:The Sea Of Monster is atrocious. The plot is contrived on so many levels and every character is generic screamed out in a megaphone. The script does not do much better either with the two hour runtime. A lot of critics have given this a 20\100 or below so
Overall stay away.
Percy Jackson: Sea Of Monsters is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus:Planes

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a spinoff of Cars. YAY!!!! It's gonna be a crapfest.


OK. Disney is practically using kids as sheep to herd to theaters for their latest disaster Planes. The catch of Planes is that it has the Pixar label on it but even with the decrease in quality in Pixar films lately Pixar only animated this. But people will shell money out of their pockets for trash I guess.
Planes has nothing to prove to widen it from every other kids movie as Film.com said. It looks good with the computer animated graphics but there's no substance and that's what Pixar films used to be made with. Now it looks like money is the key factor instead of a good script as Austin Chronicle said.
Overall just no. No no no no no.
Planes is rated PG.
