Critics Consensus:Oculus

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new horror movie Oculus!

It seems like every horror movie nowadays is using the tagline from the creators of Paranormal Activity in their poster. Maybe it's true but it seems like there is hundreds of "creators" of Paranormal Activity by now. But on with that the all new Oculus is in theaters by more "creators" Let's check if it's good or just plain not scary.

Luckily Oculus isn't half bad. It's got a 61 on Metacritic, and average score of 6.5 and a 71% on RottenTomatoes so it's not a bad way to spend 12 bucks. Trust us you can do much worse. Sure it could be a little bit more scarier in places and as the Newark Star Ledger said it's too vague and familiar but the best part about Oculus is that it messes with your head. That's what horror movies should do.

Overall see this movie.

Oculus is rated R.

Critics Consensus:Draft Day

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new football drama starring Kevin Costner!!

There's been a lot of football dramas in the last couple years and pretty much all of them happen inside the field. However the all new Draft Day starring Kevin Costner and Jennifer Garner sometimes not all of the victories happen on the field. Let's see if that's some generic tagline for a generic movie or a actual good movie overall.

Unfortunately Draft Day isn't like Moneyball where it is a good movie even if you don't like the certain sport its about. It's pretty much only for diehard football fans as Movie Guide and Globe and Mail said. Sure it has some good parts with great acting but overall it's dull script holds it back. Looks like this movie never scored a touchdown. Only a running pass

Overall only see this movie if you want to.

Draft Day is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus:LEGO:The Hobbit

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

The LEGO games have always suffered their fair share of problems. While LEGO Marvel Superheroes pales in comparison to LEGO Batman and LEGO Star Wars they still have their fair share of glitches,repetitivity, and sometimes a weak story. But will that all change with The Hobbit? Lets find out!!

LEGO The Hobbit has a 75 on Metacritic. So while it's not one of the LEGO games you should go out and buy this instant it has plenty of interesting features to keep you invested. Like side quests, puzzles, and locations! And since it's a LEGO game there's always gonna be a lot of awesome hidden easter eggs aswell. However the story seems disjointed as said by IGN and VideoGamer gave it a 6 for it's easy difficulty. 

Overall only get this one if you want to.

LEGO:The Hobbit is rated E10+.

Critics Consensus:Strike Suit Zero

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Strike Suit Zero an all new next gen flight sim!!

Let's be honest here. Flight sim is another dead genre. Better add that too the pile with text adventure,SHMUPS and interactive movies. Well Ready Born Games a new aspiring indie publisher is attempting to revive it in its own hands in the all new Strike Suit Zero!

Unfortunately it may not be what you asked for. Strike Suit Zero has a 64 on Metacritic and is pretty much just dumb fun as said by Official Xbox Magazine UK. It lacks enough variety to be acceptable and is pretty difficult. However the graphics are difficult and the multiplayer is pretty fun! Even though sides are split we say from the reviews that

Overall only buy this if you want to.

Strike Suit Zero is rated T.

Critics Consensus:The Elder Scrolls Online

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new Elder Scrolls Online!

Skyrim came out in 2011 and was a pop culture hit. Even though it took place in a fantasy setting and was somewhat geekish it sold COD numbers,got amazing reviews and even some GOTY's and is now one of the top 20 best selling games of all time. Now that's impressive. So what better way to make a new installment in the Elder Scrolls franchise by making it online? Wait what?

Apparently this formula actually works. It has a 83 on Metacritic and while not all the reviews have come out yet, it's sold well enough that it's probably because it's good and your friends have it also. It's not exactly like Skyrim as Hooked Gamers said but it's got a fresh setting and new characters and items to keep you interested for a while and maybe make the $100+ dollar price tag worth it. (Calculated over a subscription based fees)

Overall get this game if you want to.

The Elder Scrolls Online is rated M.
