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.

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.
A third-person shooter set in a Film Noir setting, this excellent sequel has all of the ingredients that made the first Max Payne adventure such a wonderful thrill: colourful characters, moody atmosphere, a great storyline, kick-ass cinematographic gameplay, matrix-like “Bullet Time” slow-motion, interaction with the environment and, of course, lots of guns!
Action , humour , great characters , outstanding attention to details - this thrilling movie about naval warfare in the Napoleonic Wars is also faithful to the spirit, if not the letter, of Patrick O’Brian magnificent historical novels.
