Critics Consensus:Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Dog Days

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new Diary Of A Wimpy Kid movie.

Good news and bad news for Wimpy Kid fans. The new Dog Days is not as bad as it could have been (actually getting a higher Metacritic score AND Rotten Tomatoes score than Total Recall.) but is strictly mediocre. Village Voice was surprised that it was not that bad and Washington Post said it captured what it was like to be a kid,but it is strictly for that audience. AND THAT'S IT!
Overall see this is you are 10 and under you will squeal with laughter.

Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: Dog Days is rated PG.

Critics Consensus: Total Recall

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Total Recall a reboot to the Schwarzenegger classic.

Many fans of the original Total Recall have some bad news arrived to them in a new movie. Total Recall is being pounded by critics like New York Daily News,Miami Herald and Boxoffice Magazine for being bland,dull, forgettable and way too many action sequences. ReviewsOnTheRun and St. Louis Dispatch praised the first few scenes of the movie but many many other critics complained about the CGI while good being shot into every scene.
Overall another crappy disappointment. Better luck next time.
Total Recall is rated PG-13.

Critics Consensus: Deadlight

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Deadlight the newest Summer of Arcade game.

Deadlight had lot's of potential and sad to say it's Metacritic score is 69 and a 67% approval rating among critics. Xbox Addict praised Deadlight for it's sheer amount of content because it has collectibles but most critics found Deadlight poor for a couple of basic reasons. Destructoid complained about the level design, GamerLimit complained about the pacing and lastly G4 TV complained about how short the game was. The only reason Deadlight is average is it's amazing animation and suspenseful plot which IGN praised. If only the rest of the game worked the same.
Overall Deadlight is mediocre at best but if ya really wanna get it get the demo first.


Deadlight is rated M.

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.
