Critics Consensus:Tropico 5

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the newest entry in the hit Tropico series,Tropico 5!!

Tropico has been a staple (and one of the only) franchises for Kalypso so what better way to continue from the 2011 release of El Presidente with the all new Tropico 5? Let's find out if Tropico 5 has really overstayed its welcome. 

Potentially. The game has a 75 on Metacritic with some critics griping the same gameplay style that's overshadowed the series for years,the shoddy multiplayer,and technical bugs. However if you manage to put that aside you can have one hell of a blast with Tropico as HookedGamers,GameStar,GameFront,GamesRadar, and GameInformer did as they all gave it a 9 or higher.

Overall only get this if you want to.

Tropico 5 is rated T.

Critics Consensus:Watch_Dogs

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Ubisoft's all new hacking IP Watch Dogs!!

Let's face it. E3 2012 was a bummer. No next gen console announcements, still very little information about the WiiU, and pretty much every game there was a sequel. And then Ubisoft had their conference and a wild Watch Dogs appeared which pretty much blew everyone's mind apart. And after 2 years it's finally out. Let's get into the good news and the bad about Watch Dogs.

OK so Watch Dogs isn't the big explosive epic that we saw at E3 although it does have it's moments. As Videogamer.com pointed out even key points in the trailer don't match with the final game. But let's cut to the chase now, is Watch Dogs a good game or not? Yes it has a 82 on Metacritic and despite from only getting 1 10\10 from a major publication it has been praised for it's unique and creative multiplayer modes,shooting mechanics, and great moments and setpieces. However the game has some dumb moments that even the parody show Clueless Gamer pointed out as everything is Chicago is connected by only one network.

Overall get this game.

Watch_Dogs is rated M.

Critics Consensus:X-Men:Days Of Future Past

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

X-Men has had a mostly good track record. The first two films were excellent and then a catastrophic mistake happened with the third. Unfortunately that wasn't the case with First Class and that's not the case apparently with Days Of Future Past. Why?

According to critics it's the best X-Men film in years.NPR praised the new cast such as Quicksilver while ReviewsOnTheRun praised the returning cast from old films. And the acting isn't just the sweet spot in this film,it's everything. The CGI,script and plot have been pretty much praised by everyone alike and this time 20th Century Fox really shows that X-Men were always on top of their class after all. 

Overall see this movie.

Days Of Future Past is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus:Transistor

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new game from the creators of Bastion, Transistor!!!

Back in 2011, a little fantasy role playing game called Bastion released into the XBLA wild. It ended up being a huge hit winning many accolades. But what have the developers of that game been doing for three years? 

They've been working on Transistor and now it's finally out. Apparently all that time and craft was worth it as the game has a 82 on Metacritic with a landslide of positive reviews from such publications as IGN,GameTrailers,GameInformer,and Eurogamer. Some critics such as Polygon and 3DJuegos went as far as calling it a A+ RPG and hours and hours of enjoyable content. Supergiant does it again ladies and gentlemen.

Overall get this game.

Transistor is rated T.

Critics Consensus:Wolfenstein:The New Order

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new game in the Wolfenstein franchise!!

Wolfenstein created the first person shooter. Ya some simple retro game about shooting Nazi's in the face paved the way for Call Of Duty,Battlefield,Medal Of Honor and more. So now it's back after it's 2010 reboot. Let's see how it is shall we?

Wolfenstein:The New Order has a 79 on Metacritic and for being a game that's just simply about shooting Nazi's in the face, it's gotten some mixed reviews. VideoGamer.com said that the tone was all over the place while Polygon,Gaming Trend, and IGN praised the varied gunplay and gun custimazation. However The Escapist commented on the boring plain maps but Game Revolution went on about the voice acting. Ya it's pretty varied. Our advice

Only get this game if you want to.

Wolfenstein The New Order is rated M.
