Critics Consensus:Outlast (PS4)

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new PS4 version of Outlast!

Released back in September Outlast was a breakthrough horror title and the Amnesia of it's time. It set a path in stone for developer Red Barrels and was a breakout hit because it was just so goddamn scary. Now it's on Playstation 4 and free for a month thanks to Playstation Plus. Get ready to shit your pants for free but before you do that let's see if Outlast is more than just the scares.

Outlast is one of the most extreme horror games you'll ever play. It's kind of like a first person Cannibal Holocaust (don't look that up trust me; its a really messed up infamous gory slasher sex film) featuring full frontal nudity, gore, all in a creepy color palette. Nevertheless The Escapist praised this feature of the game saying it made it unique with a 9 out of 10. It's obvious that Outlast isn't for the faint of heart. But with the good reviews such as Playstation Lifestyle and Playstation Magazine UK it would be hard not to pass this up.

Overall get this game.

Outlast is rated M. (For good reasons)

Critics Consensus:Fable Anniversary

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new Hd remade Fable!

Fable was one of the big new IP's that showed what the original Xbox can do and one that to this day is still somewhat relevant. Yes Fable is a controversial franchise with some calling it a masterpiece and others calling it crap but Microsoft would agree to differ. The franchise has stood the test of time with 3 anthologies, and arcady kids version, and a new one coming to the Xbox One. But there also is one that we forgot about. The HD version that just came out today.

Like I said Fable is a somewhat controversial game with mixed reviews ranging from butt cancer to the secondcoming of Christ in all games but the original is usually the best and you think they would have fixed that. Right? Somewhat. GameInformer and IGN delivered 8 out of 10s and stated that it's the superb way to play the game. However it also got a batch of mediocre scores mostly in the 6 range from The Escapist and Eurogamer with them either complaining it's aged badly or that there are too many bugs or shoddy mechanics.

Overall only get this game if you want to.

Fable:Anniversary is rated M.

Critics Consensus:Octodad:Dadliest Catch

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the new sequel to the cult-classic indie hit Octodad!

Octodad was a huge hit back three years ago partly due to the success that the frustrating running game QWOP delivered. Now it's kind of a genre considering the popularized Surgeon Simulator game that came out 6 months ago. Now Octodad's coming back and while it doesn't have many improvements, I bet this game will make you laugh your ass off.

Octodad:Dadliest Catch is now a bombtastic game that explodes the Octodad series into new directions but at the same time it really can't be. It's pretty short but as critics as Polygon,Gamesbeat,and Digital Spy have said it doesn't overstay it's welcome and throwing crap around in a wedding is pretty dang fun.

Overall get this game.

Octodad:Dadliest Catch is rated E10+.

Critics Consensus:Tomb Raider Definitive Edition

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is an upgraded next-gen version of the fem-fatale hit Tomb Raider!

Tomb Raider was one of the biggest hits of 2013. It was intense with action at every turn and had interesting gameplay and a strong female protagonist just to tie all the loose ends together. Now Lara Croft returns in an all new Definitive Edition which is set to mark the first next-gen representation of Lara. Let's find out if all is true to believe or if this is just a fraud with no noticeable changes.

Apparently Definitive Edition rocks hard scoring 9 out of 10's from IGN,Game Informer,and Gaming Trend. GameInformer has even said it's the must have next-gen game and while it may lack any noticeable improvements besides for graphically and amount of content, it's certainly a good game to play during the January drought of games.

Overall get this game if you want to.

Tomb Raider:Definitive Edition is rated M.

One Of The Worst:I, Frankenstein

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is Aaron Eckhart's Victorian Frankenstein reboot, I Frankenstein.

Godzilla is getting rebooted this year as well with Jurassic Park in the future and Frankenstein now. I Frankenstein is looking to be the first less than 10% score on RT of 2014 due to it's dumb CGI, cheesy acting, and no review press screenings. Well everything I just said is true and i'll just mention the fact that this has a 4% on RottenTomatoes.

Man I can predict the future! I Frankenstein is taken way too seriously as Reelviews stated,the makeup and costume design are some of the worst movies have to offer as Boston Globe said, and it's so bad it's laughable as the A.V. Club bellowed. Also it hasn't gotten a single positive review on Metacritic. I Frankenstein cant catch a break.

Overall do not see this movie.

I Frankenstein is rated PG-13.
