I like to see action AND intelligence in the games, books and movies I enjoy. The suggestions below feature a lot of action and a hero that must use his or her intellect or a story that deals with complex, thoughtful concepts.
in The Night’s Dawn Trilogy (The Reality Dysfunction, The Neutronium Alchemist and The Naked God), the very survival of humanity is on the line as the dead possess whole planets in a high-tech future. This massive epic is one hell of a ride; a relentless and incredibly entertaining space-opera of awesome proportions!
The Mars Trilogy (Red Mars, Green Mars & Blue Mars) is one of the most mind-expanding reading experiences I’ve ever had. It is a rich, sweeping, epic chronicle of the colonization of Mars as well as the rest of the solar system; the power humans have to transform their own environment and how that environment can transform humanity as well; the long-term impact of extending human lifespan by centuries and the catastrophic consequences of rising sea levels on Earth. But most of all, it is a roadmap to building a better civilization free from the poisons of the past.
Every time a new Zelda game is released by Nintendo, we can expect a masterpiece. The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, originally released in 2003, is no exception. It is incredibly gorgeous and fun to play, with countless hours of exploration, puzzles, action, surprises and animations to look forward to.
Rare is the action-movie sequel that manage to be as fun and interesting as its predecessor. The Bourne Supremacy is a thoroughly enjoyable ride that keeps most of what made the first movie great while adding its own twists.
You will never find a funnier, more densely informative, action-packed adventure about money, slavery, the birth of science and the love life of Isaac Newton.
Thanks to sharp writing, slick design and dark, offbeat humor this video game has become an industry milestone and a universal example of what good game design can achieve. It is a must for anyone looking for a highly polished, offbeat and clever gaming experience.
Playing Bookworm Adventure with a child is a great way to stimulate interest in correct spelling, have fun building long words and develop self-esteem. Here are some great tips from my own experience playing Bookworm Adventure with my 10 year old boy.
Thousands of years from now, a tiny kingdom of peace-loving peasants living on the fringes of a poisonous forest finds itself dragged into a senseless war that threaten to destroy whatever clean land remains.
One of the best feature of the Nintendo Wii is that you can play any of the older Nintendo GameCube games. You can often find second-hand GameCube games, so it’s an great way to build-up your game selection at an affordable price. I also think that the higher-quality GameCube games are actually better-looking and more fun to play than most Wii games. So here are my favourites!
Qui ne se rappelle pas du petit Vicky qui, lorsqu’il réfléchissait à un moyen de sortir ses amis vikings du pétrin, se frottait le nez l’air songeur pour ensuite claquer des doigts en s’exclamant « Ça y est, j’ai trouvé la solution! » dans une explosion d’étoile?
