Critics Consensus: Gravity Rush

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular daily critics opinion for the newest video games and movies! Today it is Gravity Rush a new PSVita puzzle platformer with a gravity spinoff.
Sony's silent surprise is here. Gravity Rush it is called. Let's get on it here the Playstation Vita has been struggling a bit. Walking over stones and falling into the ground. Well when gets a 10 out of 10 from Digital Spy, Gamereactor Denmark, and gameblog.fr you know it's good. Gamespot did complain about dull combat and Metro Game Central was made at it's flaws but when a game offers an amazing overall gameplay experience including Gamereactor Denmark stating it as a Game Of The Year contender the game is magical.
Overall get this. This is the reason to get a PSVita.


'Gravity Rush is rated T.

Critics Consensus: Rock Of Ages

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular daily critics opinion for the newest video games and movies! Today it is Rock Of Ages a new movie based off the musical.
There always comes a time when Hollywood fails big time. Where they put big time actors like Tom Cruise, Russel Brand,Alec Baldwin,Paul Giamatti and Catherine Zeta Jones and well the movie sucks. The newest example is Rock Of Ages. The New York Observer absolutely hated the movie saying it was between the reaches of Howard The Duck and Battlefield Earth. Now that's bad. Salon.com also complained that it was too fictional\fake. Rock Of Ages has miscast actors, long screen time and other atrocities mixed in. The only good things are that it's funny sometimes as Rotten Tomatoes.com stated. Ya funny while annoying heavy metal and rock and roll are being blasted into your ears.
Overall don't see this. Simple as that.


Rock Of Ages is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus: DiRT Showdown

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular daily critics opinion for the newest video games and movies! Today it is Dirt Showdown the newest game in the DiRT racing series. 
In 2011 DiRT 3 came out and was a hit for Codemasters. Well they kinda wanted to continue the revenue so they released DiRT Showdown. Well remember how Starhawk had crappy single player and good multiplayer? This is kinda the same. Critics like IGN Gameblog.fr and CD Action have complained about limited content and Playstation:The Official Magazine said that DiRT 3 is much better. That's sad because so much more could have come out of this game and so little succeeded.
Overall this is a rent if you want the game or are a DiRT fan. Codemasters just let you down.


DiRT Showdown is rated E10+.

Critics Consensus: Safety Not Guaranteed

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular daily critics opinion for the newest video games and movies! Today it is Safety Not Guaranteed a new indie comedy from the producers of Little Miss Sunshine.
Little Miss Sunshine won two Oscars including best picture. Well this film looks to be just like that (same number of theaters, similar crew, same genre.) and that's a good thing. Safety Not Guaranteed is an indie comedy about a mysterious classified ad. Safety Not Guaranteed is jumping into a truck filled with amazing critical acclaim. While Rotten Tomatoes says the movie is a bit too ambitious. Well Safety Not Guaranteed pleased Slate,Los Angeles Times,New York Post, Reel Views,Rolling Stone and Leonard Martin with it's charm, great acting and laughs.
Overall go see Safety Not Guaranteed but since this is only in 6 theaters nationwide you might need to wait till it's on DVD.


Safety Not Guaranteed is rated R.

Critics Consensus: Lollipop Chainsaw

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular daily critics opinion for the newest video games and movies! Today it is Lollipop Chainsaw a new game from the developer Suda51.
The plot of this game is crazy. A cheerleader cutting zombies at a highschool with a chainsaw and a severed head attached to her waist. Well that is crazy. Though Gaming Age, Gaming Limit and Destructoid gave it a 9.0. In fact the only problem with this game critics had was that it's a slight copy of Bayonetta and Splatterhouse, and the game is short. The gameplay is fun and exciting and even if you think the plot is crap you will still have fun slicing zombies heads with a chainsaw.
Overall if you want to get this get it and if you do not rent it. It's that simple.


Lollipop Chainsaw is rated M.
