Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is a new horror movie called You're Next which is surprisingly getting good reviews.
Adam Wingard is known for his insanely low budget horror movies (one was only $2000 dollars) and they get a lot of attention at film's festivals. Now Lionsgate is giving him a chance and making sure that You're Next is a hit. The trailer for You're Next is very very generic and you probably expect a 13%. However it has a 65 on Metacritic and a 79% on RottenTomatoes. You're Next is another Cabin In The Woods as Globe And Mail because it does not take itself too seriously, is very funny for a horror movie and actually has a decent amount of scares. Overall see this movie. You're Next is rated R.
Note:You're Next will be covered on Monday Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Disney's ambitious ripoff of Skylanders!
Skylanders is now another Call Of Duty for Activision bringing in millions of dollars every few months. Disney now wants to make some cash off of the same idea and it will probably work when it features recognizable characters. However will it make the critical cut? Let's find out.
Disney Infinity has a lot of oomph over Skylanders. It has a level editor,and features Pixar,Pirates Of The Caribbean and Wreck-It-Ralph. It has a giant load of content as IGN said and is maybe worth the price tag for all those other toys. It's also outrageously fun with friends as Canadian Online Gamers said but don't forget that big price tag. Fun comes with a cost kids.
Overall only get this game if you have kids, or have lots of money to spend on toys..
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new Splinter Cell game!
A lot of franchise reboots have come out recently. Syndicate,Tomb Raider,Sim City,Dmc Devil May Cry,and Hitman:Absolution. Some have flopped and some have succeeded However most of those games besides DMC have been ripped on because they tried to get the game to a broader audience. That's exactly what's happening to Blacklist. Let's just hope too much does not get to it. If too ambitious is a thing Blacklist achieves just that. The story is generic and the new Sam Fisher voice actor is downright obnoxious as VideoGamerTV stated. Not all is bad as the multiplayer modes are one hell of a blast with the exception of the non-existent co-op on the WiiU. Ubisoft tried to make it appeal to all audiences and if you are fine with that you should go purchase Blacklist right now. However if you are a hardcore Splinter Cell fan you should get this only for the multiplayer. Splinter Cell Blacklist is rated M.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new Saints Row!
Saints Row 3 was in a way THQ's swan song. After flop after flop such as Homefront and Udraw THQ had one last big release and that was Saints Row 3. The game became a classic for it's over-the-top-ness and sold amazingly well. Though that was not enough to save THQ. Deep Silver ended up buying a lot of THQ's properties and Saints Row was in the mix. Just like THQ Deep Silver has gotten far out with insane marketing and advertising. This happened with Homefront too but fortunately this is not a bad sign as Saints Row 4 has a 83 on Metacritic. Some might complain that this venture was too ludicrous as you do become a super-powered president but the script,gameplay, and world are enough to keep bringing you in as Game Informer said. Overall get this game. Saints Row 4 is rated M.
Hi! We are Critics Consensus. We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new XCOM reboot sequel sort of thing! It's complicated.
XCOM was originally a reboot to the acclaimed 90's action series and 2K wanted it to be a first person shooter. Then delays and troubles arose and with Electronic Art's Syndicate not selling well (it was also a 90's strategy hit rebooted into an FPS) 2K turned XCOM back into a strategy game. It worked well and became one of the most respected titles of 2012. Well now 2K is trying to dip XCOM into the third person shooter genre. But one quick mistake and this could easily fail. Well The Bureau is not a bad game because 2K Marin always tries hard as seen with Enemy Unknown but what went wrong? The Bureau has a 68 on Metacritic. Even IGN gave it a 5.5 and they typically give everything a high score. The problem is The Bureau's gameplay mechanics don't always work and sometimes can be really clunky and generic. However as VideoGamerTV said XCOM is lots of fun with friends and the plot is intruiging. Overall only get this if you want to. The Bureau:XCOM Declassified is rated M.
