Critics Consensus:Killzone Mercenary

Note: Probably this generation's biggest release Grand Theft Auto 5 will be covered on Tuesday in a very lengthy post. Strangely no reviews have come out yet and I also want to focus on a big post for a big game.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new portable Killzone!
Black Ops:Declassified was a bust. Resistance:Falling Skies was a dud. These were all upcoming shooters for the Playstation Vita based off of respectable franchises and ended up being crap. Killzone:Mercenary is one of the last of these. But will it follow the same bad track record that Playstation Vita FPS's have? Let's find out.
Killzone:Mercenary is not a masterpiece by any means but it certainly is better than the other games I mentioned in the last paragraph. Mercenary looks amazing,is fun as hell to play, and the multiplayer will keep you playing for months. Finally a must-buy for the Vita. (Cited:Playstation Universe,LaPS3,Digital Fix)
Overall get this game.
Killzone:Mercenary is rated M.

Critics Consensus:The Family

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new Robert De Niro comedy. Hopefully it can't be as bad as the Big Wedding.
Robert De Niro used to create many many serious good movies about gangsters,mobs and etc. Now that The Family was announced a couple of months ago the movie looked serious and cool. And then they added the comedy aspect to it. And we all know how bad The Big Wedding went. 
The Family is not another Big Wedding even those movies sound very similar. It's a bad movie by a lot of means such as relying on the same joke countless times,boring and uninventive and just plain unnecessary. There is not really a demographic for this movie and at the end it just does not pan out well. (Cited:New York Daily News,The Playlist,Time Out New York)
Overall watch Goodfellas again.
The Family is rated R.

Critics Consensus:Insidious:Chapter 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the sequel to the 2011 horror hit that was Insidious!
The original Insidious should have been crap. It really should have been crap. It was written,directed,and produced from the same people that made such films as Paranormal Activity 2 and the SAW franchise. But the movie had many comical breaks,good acting and scares when you would not expect it. It became a hit. Now FilmDistrict wants to rank in some more cash with a popular name  but is it any good?
Insidious 2 is definitely not for everyone. Some critics such as Austin Chronicle and Time Out London gave it scores lower than a 20 and said that the movie was lazy stupid and incoherent. The film does have good acting and the scares that work are really scary and creepy unfortunately Insidious Chapter 2 does not reach to it's highest heights.
Overall only see this if you really want to.
Insidious:Chapter 2 is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus:Amnesia:A Machine For Pigs

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new long awaited Amnesia!
Amnesia was a breakthrough horror hit released just at the end of 2010 and has then since raised a generous cult following thanks to youtuber's like Pewdiepie and MARKplier. A sequel was finally announced last year but is it worth the wait?
Amnesia:A Machine For Pigs has been getting very mixed reviews ranging from a 37\100 from ActionTrip to a 91\100 on Multiplayer.it. Maybe it's because it's a very ambitious game and more flawed than the original. The level design could be better but the storyline will keep you in. Unfortunately it's very short clocking at 4 hours.
Overall only get this if you want to.
Amnesia:A Machine For Pigs is rated M.

Critics Consensus:NHL 14

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new NHL!
All the big sports games are released in the next couple of weeks such as NHL 14,Pro Evolution Soccer 2014,FIFA 14 and more. I know you porbably don't have enough money to shell 60 dollars when each one of these comes out so let's give the verdict on NHL 14.
NHL 14 is another amazing installment. Surprisingly the NHL series is one of the best sports sims to date beating Madden and NCAA in Metacritic averages. It's a shame that more people don't play it. It's insanely worth it due to it's great physics engine,realistic graphics and commentary and most importantly of all great Canadian fun. (Cited:EGM,Post Arcade,Canadian Online Gamers)
Overall get this game if you love hockey but wait if you can only buy one of these regular sports anthologies.
NHL 14 is rated E.
