GameCritics (290 KP) rated Grand Theft Auto V in Video Games
Sep 21, 2017
Grand Theft Auto V on the Playstation 4 is a no-brainer, just as easy as the decision to get your favorite movie on Blu-ray. With this latest version, Rockstar’s latest game is no longer just a masterpiece. It’s now a state-of-the-art technical marvel.

Suswatibasu (1701 KP) rated A Christmas Carol in Books
Oct 10, 2017 (Updated Oct 10, 2017)
The only Christmas story
There have been hundreds of adaptations of this book, and yet this will be the only classic version. It is the original redemption novella. The treatment of the poor and the ability of a self-interested man absolving himself by transforming into a more sympathetic character are the key themes of the story. With A Christmas Carol, Charles Dickens captured the essence of the mid-Victorian revival of the Christmas holiday.
Lenard (726 KP) rated Sausage Party (2016) in Movies
Oct 16, 2017
Food looks to humanity as gods who will release them from the mundanity and oppression of their shelf life. But, it was a lie created by the original settlers to disguise the horrors of life outside. Lots of racial and ethnic humor influenced by Mel Brooks ensues. I would have felt a little better if Lavosh was not the Middle Eastern bread since Armenia is neither Muslim or Middle Eastern, but creative license

Good effects for the budget
Full throttle action
A decent indie film experienced entirely in first person view point of the main character. It does feel a bit like a call of duty video game but cranked up to maximum action and speed. The action scenes are crazy as is plot. Along with the thumping sound track this film feels like a roller coaster for the eyes and ears. Definitely worth checking out!
GameCritics (290 KP) rated Sonic Mania Collector's Edition in Video Games
Oct 26, 2017
Sonic Mania is probably one of the best Sonic games ever made and is a very carefully and thoughtfully crafted game. It could have easily ended up a complete mess but the design of the game is such that it uses only what it needs to

Storyline
Great Game
Destiny was a great game, and Destiny 2 meets and exceeds the original the continuation of the story line is great and the open world environment has been improved. The controls are similar and it's easy to just step right back into the world and start playing. Lag times have recently increased due to the influx of new players over the holiday but I know this will improve
Movie Critics (823 KP) rated Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 (2017) in Movies
Apr 25, 2017
can a second adventure starring Marvel’s most bizarre band of misfits retain the same quirky charm, sense of freshness, and overall weird and cosmically comedic tone of the first movie, while pushing the franchise forward? The answer is both yes and no.

BookCritics (259 KP) rated The Lying Game in Books
Jun 5, 2017
One important note for crime readers: this book is a lighter suspense read in many ways. The story is laced with menace throughout, but it's not until the last 60 or so pages that any real action takes place. This book is not very violent..
