Critics Consensus: Max Payne 3

Note: Diablo III consensus post will be delayed because no reviews have came in yet. Sorry of the short notice. Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Max Payne 3 the sequel to the 2001 PC game made by no other than Rockstar.

Max Payne is back. Though this time he's a bit older then before but still ready to take a fight. The million dollar question is does Max Payne still stand up to critics? Well hell yes. Max Payne 3 currently has a 87 on Metacritic and the lowest score was a 7.0. Max Payne 3 has a great control system,a great aiming system,the multiplayer is fun,a great plot, and it's just good to see old Max again.
Overall if you are a fan of shooters or the Rockstar company buy this, actually you have probably even bought it now. Well wasn't that money well spent?

Max Payne 3 is rated M.

Critics Consensus: Girl In Progress

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Girl In Progress a new teen dramadey.

Every week a movie comes out based on something. Usually it's a book. Sometimes its a TV show. And barely ever it's a video game. Well the old book is coming around. Based off a book Girl In Progress is about a teenagers trip to adulthood. I thought this would be better then Dark Shadows. Then I see the 30% it got on Rotten Tomatoes. Ouch. Why did it get this? Well Girl In Progress is boring,has unfunny jokes,has a bad script, and is just plain stupid.
Overall seems like Girl In Progress is a work in progress. Don't see this one. Just read the book instead.


Girl In Progress is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus: TERA

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is TERA a new MMO by an Korean company.

The industry of MMO's aren't very big for that they either make big bucks or fail completely. Most companies don't want to take that risk.  Well then this thing titled Tera walked by our eyes. If you are bored with your WOW or SWTOR account. If you are really (I mean really because this MMO costs money) desperate with your MMO experience DC Universe Online for example, you will love this. Tera is addicting,fun,has a great combat system,and has different modes.
Overall you should probably keep your MMO account. If you haven't played your MMO in the last month, this one's a no-brainer.


TERA is rated M.

Critics Consensus:Dark Shadows

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Dark Shadows, Tim Burton and Johnny Depps remake of the 1970 TV soap.

Johnny Depp has starred in many of Tim Burtons movies. Edward ScissorHands, Sleepy Hollow, Alice In Wonderland, and now Johnny Depp is wanting to turn back to creepy old Burton for the movie adaptation of Dark Shadows a 1970 TV soap. Well first of all thank god Johnny Depp was in this movie. The movie has gotten a 5.0 average from critics similar to Alice In Wonderland. Johnny Depp practically saves this movie. Why you ask? The movie is a drag. The movie is uninspired,long,and the plot is a mess. Though if you are a fan of Tim Burton you aren't gonna give a crap.
Overall see Dark Shadows if you may but you will probably be waiting for this movie to end half way through.


Dark Shadows is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus: Starhawk

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Starhawk the sequel to 2007's Warhawk.

 There aren't that many third person shooters coming out this year. Mostly because if you say third person everybody freaks out and jumps on the Call Of Duty bandwagon. Well this new Playstation 3 exclusive Starhawk is opting to change that. Call Of Duty: Black Ops II comes out in November 2012 not today. So what to do? Well there is Starhawk. The high points of Starhawk are some of the best multiplayer in a game, provides cool tools to a old formula, and it's addictive. The game is very straightforward though so be warned. 
Overall you should get this. If you aren't willing to shell out 60 in moola for a third person shooter your gonna regret it.
Starhawk is rated T.
