Critics Consensus: Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new Kingdom Hearts game!
A new Kingdom Hearts game has been shoved into our faces and it has an alliteration at the end that does not make any sense. Thankfully that does not effect the quality of the game even though the plot is confusing which was stated by ReviewsOnTheRun,NintendoWorldReport,and GameOver.gr. Luckily there was only one negative review out of 31 reviews which was by Metro Game Central which was burning on the game because of it's script. Most critics have stated that that is the weakest part of the game but keep in fact that ReviewsOnTheRun said it was the most beautiful looking game on the 3DS and it is one of Gaming Age's favorite games on the 3DS because of the gameplay,voice acting,level design and visuals and pretty much 60% of the critics said that also because it's got a 77 on Metacritic. Good job Kingdom Hearts.
Overall you should get this game if you are a Kingdom Hearts fan but it is hard to recommend to newcomers if the series because of it's confusing plot.

Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance is rated E10+.

My Personal Opinion: Spelunky

NOTE: This is different than the posts we have on this blog because instead of the critics opinion this is my opinion. This time it is Spelunky.
Before I played Spelunky I looked at the credits and found out the game was only created by 5 people. Nevertheless, I thought I was bound to be impressed. Spelunky is a breath of fresh air. It is one of the most addictive games I have played in a while and one of the hardest. Spelunky is the most fun I have had with a game that it mega hard and while Rayman Origins had me cursing and wanting to throw my controller (I don't  think that Rayman Origins is a bad game just a very hard one.) Spelunky has me cursing and then for some reason laughing. Laughing because I accidentally pressed B instead of X so I threw a bomb at the shopkeeper and he thought i was a terrorist so he killed me. Spelunky also has an impressive art style and gameplay mechanics and it's Deathmatch mode is some thing to really jump into. The only thing I hate about Spelunky is no online multiplayer which makes me sad because then everybody would be playing this fabulous game.
Overall I give this game a 8.5 out of 10.

Critics Consensus: Step Up Revolution

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Step Up Revolution another Step Up movie! (Yay........)
Bob: "So another Step Up movie is coming out this week".
Bill (Reading The Newspaper): "Oh that's cool".
Bob: .............
Bill: "Hang on a second Step Up? They are making another movie to that mediocre franchise"!
That's how I reacted when I heard this movie was coming out. Well the critics agree with me too. A 33% on Rotten Tomatoes does not lie. Globe And Mail said Delivers plenty of spectacular fancy footwork in what is otherwise a flat-footed fantasy. CinemaLogue.com said that it was aggressively stupid and incoherent. 
Overall looks like there's another piece of crap on Fridays plate. Yay....


Step Up Revolution is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus: The Watch

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is The Watch a new sci-fi comedy.
Once in a while a semi big release for the movie industry gets a 20% or lower on Rotten Tomatoes. Unfortunately that is the case with the new sci fi comedy called The Watch. In fact The Watch is so disgusting that The New York Daily News compared it to Howard The Duck which has a 16% on Rotten Tomatoes. Slightly higher than this piece of crap. The Toronto Star stated that The Watch is a predictable and lazy comedy wrapped around a penis joke occasionally enlivened with some funny lines.  
Overall so stardom and a 70 million budget could not help this movie. Lets throw it in the garbage disposal.

The Watch is rated R.

Critics Consensus:Wreckateer

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Wreckateer a new downloadable Kinect game.
Microsoft usually delivers strong downloadable titles for their promotional sales like Summer Of Arcade. Kinect has not gotten the best critical reception and while Wreckateer is not a wreck it is better than slightly mediocre. Most critics called the game a good Kinect game but not a good game overall for example Vandal Online and Eurogamer Spain stated that in their review. The problems about Wreckateer is that the level design needs to be better as well with the clunky Kinect controls as GameRevolution and Mondo Xbox exclaimed.  So if you can not control a game what is there to it?
Overall do not get this game but if you have a Kinect and only used it to play Dance Central you should get this.


Wreckateer is rated E10+.
