Critics Consensus:Entwined

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new artsy emotional indie game Entwined!
During Sony's press conference at this weeks E3, in which they announced a barrage of new titles they also announced a small little indie game aswell. It's called Entwined and takes two players a fish and a swan on an emotional journey to love even though the universe does not allow them too. Let's see how it is shall we?
Entwined has been getting mixed responses by critics. It's gotten a couple of 9's with critics like Push Square and Hardcore Gamer Magazine for it's emotional depth and engaging content but at the other side of the spectrum it also got a couple of negative reviews from Eurogamer and GameInformer for it's short length and lack of identity. Obviously it's not for everyone but not necessarily the artsy indie diehards either.
Overall get this if you want to.
Entwined is rated E.

Critics Consensus:Worms Battlegrounds

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new next-gen Worms game!
NOTE:I apologize for not getting these posts out earlier. E3 really got the best of me.
Worms has been a staple franchise since the 90's. It was a simple PC shovelware game that turned into one hell of a popular coop VS franchise largely thanks to Youtube and the Let's Play community. It's hard not to ever really get tired of Worms which explains its appearance on Playstation 4 and Xbox One!
It's just the tired old Worms I guess. Worms Battlegrounds has a 72 on Metacritic and only one score that ranges from a 10 to a 8. Critics like Digitally Downloaded complained about the soporific single player story and GamingTrend says it did little to upgrade any features of the Worms franchise. If you don't really care about that go buy it! It's definitely going to be one hell of a fun ride with friends(and lots of accidental worm deaths in the process)
Overall only buy this if you want to.
Worms Battlegrounds is rated E10+.

Critics Consensus:Edge Of Tommorow

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new sci fi action thriller Edge Of Tomorrow.
Tom Cruise can't catch a break can he? I mean sure he's been in his fair share of terrible films but Edge Of Tomorrow has something special going for it. It has a Groundhog Day like ascetic all with an alien invasion synopsis. Ironically audiences aren't really seeing this movie because it looks too generic while the generic movies tend to be the one that crack big at the box office. Let's see why Edge Of Tomorrow was really robbed of it's #1 box office position.
1. It shows that Tom Cruise hasn't lost his character and is still making amazing movies -Chicago Sun Times
2.The plot is AMAZING-ReviewsOnTheRun
3.It's imaginative in every single damn way-Concrete Playground
OK you get the point. But wait theres more. Here's a couple more quotes to throw at you. "total blast" "endlessly entertaining" "badass and wise" "beats the clock"
Overall you HAVE to see this movie.
Edge Of Tomorrow is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus:The Fault In Our Stars

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new movie based off of the hit John Green novel, The Fault In Our Stars!!
Back in 2011 a little book came out called The Fault In Our Stars. It was written by John Green who had made plenty of teenage romance books before that had lots of charm and wit but sadly never really enough commercial success. And then The Fault In Our Stars happened. It's catch that made it so successful?(If you can call it that) the kids have cancer. Hollywood wouldn't wanna screw up a movie like that right? Right?
Thank the stars yes apparently. Despite having many appearances on horrible cliche networks like MTV critics are saying that this movie has some wonderful pacing,a beautiful soundtrack, and tough emotional moments that are like nothing you have seen in a teenage movie before. Shy away Twilight. This is one film that truly deserves all the acclaim it gets.
Overall see this movie.
The Fault In Our Stars is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus:Ultra Street Fighter IV

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new Street Fighter update! (Don't we get one of these like every 6 months?)
Capcom's reupdated Street Fighter for the last time now as next gen consoles are pretty much taking over. So let's see if the new last-gen Street Fighter is something to stick with until we get Street Fighter 5 or a up-rezed version of Street Fighter 4. Yay repetition. 
Fortunately critics (10 to be exact) say that this is the best Street Fighter yet. IGN praised it for it's attention to fan's requests and how nearly the game is close to perfection compared the Street Fighter 4 we got years ago. The new characters like Decapre and Poison are pretty cool too as Meristation said it made the roster even better. They got Street Fighter down ladies and gentlemen. Now it's the long road to Street Fighter 5.
Overall get this game.
Ultra Street Fighter IV is rated T.
