I really like all of the movies you mentioned. Doomsday surprised me, because I did not believe I would enjoy it as much.

I completely agree. I was surprised how entertaining it was, and the PQ and AQ are excellent.

All three are great, I would put them in this order:

1. Fallout 3 (potentially over 100 hours of gameplay)
2. Gears 2
3. Left for Dead

I'm currently going through Fallout/Gears/Left4Dead right now and I will say they are all awesome games. Gears really bumped up its online play, but I would have to go with fallout hands down. Get the lunch box and bobble head like me

I can't recommend the Narnia series higher.

And Left 4 Dead is not worth full price. At most 20.

Fallout 3 if you play alone a lot, GOW2 if you play with friends

Fallout 3 will consume hours of your life.


And you will love every minute of it.

I never saw Doomsday, but the others are really good movies. I was really surprised I liked Death Race as much as I did.

The Incredible Hulk is a great Blu-ray to own, same with the Narnias. I was however disappointed with Doomsday.

Can't speak on the movies, because the only one i have is I Am Legend.

However, as for the games, I own all three. Personally, I didn't like Fallout 3 that much. Yes, its really expansive, but I just didn't like the aiming and shooting mechanics on the game.

Gears of War 2 has an epic story, and the game is really fun. The downsides to this game are an ending that is just flat out disappointing, and online VS play that I'm not terribly impressed with.

Left 4 Dead is just mindless fun. GREAT game to play with friends or online. Achievements are fun to chase online, and you can play as both the survivor and infected in the vs. mode. The downside to this game is that there's only two campaigns available in online mode, but Valve is promising the other two soon.

It really depends on what kind of game you're looking for right now. If you're looking for a fun game to play online, I'd go with Left 4 Dead. If you're looking for a good single player/co-op campaign game, go with GOW2. Fallout 3 just wasn't for me, but I have tons of friends who love the game.

Good selection. Narnia 1 wasn't that great in my opinion.

All of the movie choices are excellent:

Death Race
Narnia 1 and 2
Doomsday
I Am Legend
The Incredible Hulk

By excellent I mean great BD encodes. All of these BD's have excellent PQ and SQ. I highly recommend them all.
