Critics Consensus:NES Remix 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the sequel to Nes Remix!!
Even though Nes Remix was kind of shyed down by critics, it has become a hit amongst WiiU owners. Leaderboards are crowded and the game has amassed an impressive fanbase. It may be the best selling Eshop game of all time! So is Nes Remix a one trick pony? Lets find out!!
Apparently it does. It has a Metacritic score about ten points higher than the original and has been praised for it's assortment of new games,new direction,and overall creative features. Some of the games are weak but most critics like Destructoid and Game Revolution have praised that the strongest ones propel the sequel to new heights. Now that's impressive!
Overall get this game.
NES Remix 2 is rated E.

Critics Consensus:Demon Gaze

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is an all new JRPG from the guys who brought you Disgea!
Nis America a small publisher mostly known for crafting obscure Playstation JRPG's has big plans for this year. Three of their titles have already come out (counting Demon Gaze.) One of them was received positively from critics and users alike (Danganropa) and the other one (Witch and the Hundred Knight) got pretty mixed reviews. Anyway NIS is back and let's see if their newest title is something to grab or something to miss. (Badumtsh)
Apparently it is. Despite showing underage girls with big breasts like it's some hentai or something, Demon Gaze is actually worthwhile. It's gotten a 77 on Metacritic with 9 positive reviews with critics praising it's addictive gameplay and new mechanics and features never featured before in an RPG before. However it is insanely difficult as numerous publications such as The Escapist said so get ready for a challenge. 
Overall get this game.
Demon Gaze is rated T.

Critics Consensus:Transcendence

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the all new Transcendence in which humans go against machines!
While Transcendence's plot may sound generic as a vat of boring it actually has some discernible talent attached to it like Christopher Nolan,Johnny Depp,Morgan Freeman and Rebecca Hall. However all of that is destroyed as the film has a 20% on RottenTomatoes and a 44 on Metacritic. Let's see why this is such a colossal disappointment.
Apparently it's because Transcendence has a lazy script,boring acting, and a otherwise bland lack in direction. It's got some amazing visual effects but even that can't save this sucker of a movie. Too bad for the 100+ million dollar budget of this movie because something like this is probably gonna hurt it. Another hit in Johnny Depp's wallet.
Overall do not see this movie.
Transcendence is rated PG-13.

One Of The Worst:A Haunted House 2

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the sequel to A Haunted House!
No wonder it's One Of The Worst Time.
So A Haunted House 2 has a 13 on Metacritic right now which means it might be the lowest rated movie of the year. Considering it's already April that's pretty weak. But then again everything in this movie is weak. For example:
  • It has gay jokes
  • It has animal cruelty jokes
  • Washington Post said it exceeded expectations even though they still gave it a 0
  • Vulture called it a nervous breakdown of a movie 
  • 7M Pictures said it was worse than White Chicks which is known as one of the worst movies 
  • Filled with sex scenes and sex jokes
Ya so it's obvious that you shouldn't see this movie
A Haunted House 2 is rated R.

Critics Consensus:Trials Fusion

Hi! We are Critics Consensus.  We post the regular critics opinion for video games and movies! Today it is the next Trials game!
In 2009 an aspiring indie studio released an XBLA version of one of their flash games. The game ended up being one of the best selling XBLA and downloadable games to date so what other way to release a sequel? That sequel ended up being Trials Evolution which was praised for it's fantastic level editor which could let you make (im not joking) first person shooters and platformers in a motorcycle game. This time Trials is back and it's set in the future. Let's see if it seems like they are running out of ideas here.
Apparently RedLynx isn't. Yes Trials Fusion tries to assemble a plot unlike the other games and do to it's poor results of that it was one of the reasons AusGamers gave it a 5\10. However nearly all of the reviews have been positive praising its graphics,challenges,new improvements, and humour something that is rarely present in games these days.
Overall get this game.
Trials Fusion is rated E10+.
