Critics Consensus:GRID 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the long awaited sequel to GRID!

Everytime Codemasters releases a racing game people are blown away. The original GRID blew people's minds and DiRT 3 was a masterpiece. Can Codemasters do it again? Or will it be a flop like Bodycount?
Apparently GRID 2 does not exactly blow away with a 77 on Metacritic. It's been getting positive reviews but not as amazing as the first game. Here's exactly why: It's more of the same as Game Informer said.  It has hours of enjoyable content but it will not beat your expectations (Source:IGN) But sometimes that's OK. Because any GRID is enjoyable GRID.
Overall only get this game if you want to. (It's fabulous in many ways but probably not for the mainstream audience)
GRID 2 is rated E.
NOTE:See my opinion on GRID 2 next week.

My Personal Opinion:Monaco:What's Yours Is Mine

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is me reviewing Monaco.

To be honest, Monaco does not give very good first impressions. Maybe it’s because I’m just used to the blockbuster mainstream titles out there that overcrowd indie gems like these. I was also a little confused with Monaco too. Trust me it will take some time to get used to, but after an hour or so of playing you will get engaged in the experience. The game is playable online, alone, or with a friend or sibling. I feel like the game only shines when you are playing it with other people. One of the best things about Monaco is it’s direction. Unless you concentrate, you probably are going to fail a lot. So it promotes immersion which I found useful. One of the worst problems I had with Monaco are some of the later levels can take a half an hour to finish which I found over-the-top. Though overall Monaco, is one of the most engaging game experiences you will have in a while. I will give Monaco a 8 out of 10.

My Personal Opinion:Star Trek:Into Darkness

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is me reviewing Star Trek:Into Darkness!

2009’s Star Trek brought Star Trek back to it’s popularity thanks to J.J Abrams magic. So when a sequel was announced in 2012, I was skeptic. Thankfully, J.J Abrams has made one of the best Star Trek films to date. Into Darkness is excellent and enjoyable. The acting is great and Zachary Quinto was born to play Spock. However, the film isn't perfect. I felt that the film’s story was all over the place. Unless you are strictly paying attention the plotline will be a little bit confused.The other complaints I have about the movie is that it’s a little bit too long, and you think it’s going to end after a certain scene and then it doesn't. That particular complaint happened a few times in the movie. The best thing I can say about Star Trek:Into Darkness is that it’s everything a Star Trek fan could want. Not to mention the writing is top-notch and very funny. I will give Star Trek Into Darkness a 9.25 out of 10.

Critics Consensus:The Hangover Part III

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the last Hangover movie.

It's funny because The Hangover is a dead cow and they are still churning milk out of it. Except the milk's all bloody and rotten. That would explain the 21 on Rotten Tomatoes and the 31 rating on Metacritic.
Hangover III is not good. Potty,sexual and stupid humour ensues. It tries so hard as The Ooh Tray said but oh it does not have the slightest miniscule clue about what the word fail means. And that's what this movie is.
Overall don't see this movie.
The Hangover Part III is rated R.

Critics Consensus:Epic

Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new animated movie from the creators of Ice Age! I'm getting less and less excited each word.

Blue Sky is getting more popular each year. Yes they are not PIXAR, but they are getting more and more popular. Well at least they are bringing in a new franchise. (Looking at you Dreamworks)

Let's face it. Epic is your average kids movie. With a 54 and a 63% its not going to fully engage you as Newark Star Ledger said but if you want the kids to get out of the house, this and a amusement park would work really well.

Overall only see this movie if you want to.

Epic is rated PG.
