Critics Consensus Special:Critics Consensus Versus- FIFA 14 VS. PES 2014 Round 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the latest FIFA!

In the last round Konami's Pro Evolution Soccer 2014 somewhat lost it's footing just having enough pros to have a justifiable score. But the FIFA games are known for bigger budgets,and bigger sales. Though sometimes that is not what matters. Let's see who wins.

Pros:

• Packed with content +1
• Robust modes and careers +1
• Great Physics +1
• Intense Enriching Gameplay +1
• Solid Multiplayer +1

Cons:

• 3DS version is a complete ripoff containing no new improvements whatsoever -1
• Less innovative -1
• AI oddities and glitches -1
• Could have better graphics -1
• Poor Interface -1

FIFA overall gets a 0. While this is not bad, it certainly is not the excellent pedigree EA Sports is known for. So for now get PES but if you are a diehard FIFA fan you should certainly stick with that. However if you want a portable version the 3DS version is a total ripoff.

PES 2014 wins.

PES 2014 and FIFA 14 are both rated E.

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the latest Pro Evolution Soccer!

Every year PES and FIFA duke it out. Both soccer games,both releasing in the same week. FIFA scores amazingly well sales but there are some people that prefer the PES route. However if you are wanting to try out these games for the first time which one do you take? Let's outweigh the pro's and cons of each game and see who has the best score.

Pros:

• The game is developed with the Fox Engine +1
• Challenging and rewarding +1
• Good realism +1

Cons:

• Lack of proper licenses -1
• Little to none well licensed teams and stadiums -1

So that means PES's total score is a 1. Let's see how FIFA compares in the next round.

Critics Consensus:Prisoners

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new drama movie with Hugh Jackman and Jake Gyllenhaal Prisoners!

During the last few weeks there has not been that much to see in theaters. There was One Direction,Riddick was a dud, and Getaway was atrocious. Let's hope Prisoners clears that September fog.
Prisoners is not a feel good September movie nor a masterpiece but it's certainly something to get you into theaters. The acting is very good with great performances from all the cast including Hugh Jackman as The New Yorker said. It's also very gripping even though the film is somewhat disturbing.
Overall see this if you want to.
Prisoners is rated R.

Critics Consensus: Foul Play

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new Xbox Live indie brawler!

Yes GTA V came out a few days ago. And yes it was a behemoth. But what if you have a friend over and you don't want to go the regular route? Well a indie brawler has recently come out called Foul Play.

Unfortunately Foul Play is not a Castle Crashers,Scott Pilgrim or a Charlie Murder as IGN Italia said. Luckily Foul Play is a good way to kill time but unfortunately it's very repetitive and lacks a lot of depth though the story and gameplay keep you in for the ride as God Is A Geek stated. Foul Play is good if you have a brother and a friend over so buy it if that ever so happens.

Overall only get this game if you want to.

Foul Play is rated E10+.

Critics Consensus Special:Grand Theft Auto Five

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Grand Theft Auto 5! Today is truly a joyous moment!

Well it's finally here. While my blog has not been on the internet enough for the exclamatory excitement of GTA IV being the highest game on Metacritic we still remember that day where GTA IV was considered one of the greatest games of all time if not the best. Well believe it or not it's time to shove that all into the ground. Grand Theft Auto Five is bigger,more detailed and most of all better. At least we think that by Rockstar's track record. Anyway you have probably seen that this game has decrowned GTA IV on Metacritic as the highest rated game of all time. Let's find out way.
In the ways Skyrim was a revolutionary behemoth in the year of 2011 Grand Theft Auto 5 is a revolutionary achievement for this generation. In just ten years we went from the blocky graphic textures of GTA 3 to open clear worlds with AI acting as if they were real. As Gameplanet stated, this game is the pinnacle of this console generation. Nearly every score for GTA V is a 10\10 beating maybe GOTY The Last Of Us into submission. The writing is pitch perfect and causes you to laugh at every line. The characters though they seem scarce in personality are some of the most vivid and amazing personalities not just in video games but in media in general. The world is gigantic and even with 35 hours of playing you won't see every crevice. GTA V is a masterpiece. (Cited:Rev3Games,IGN,VideoGamerTV,Metro GameCentral,Edge Magazine,Official Xbox Magazine)
Overall  get this game. Tell everyone about it and have them experience the perfection that is GTA V.
Grand Theft Auto 5 is rated M.
