FORTUNE -- Kit Harington -- or as you probably know him, Jon Snow -- seems to be everywhere these days. He's on the big screen in Pompeii, is heard in the movie previews for How to Train Your Dragon 2 and his face is featured in the wave of advertising for the much-anticipated Season 4 of HBO's series, Game of Thrones.
Harington credits fan word-of-mouth with the series' growth in popularity " When it first came to light it was interesting that maybe only the book readers were watching, and there's a lot of them out there," he said. "Then the more they started telling their friends to watch it, the more it grew." The anticipation for season 4 has further illustrated the show's rise. "It seems like everyone has heard of it, and that's incredible to me."
Over the past decade, Game of Thrones has become a bonafide powerhouse in the realms of television and fantasy literature. However, despite its massive pop culture presence, there’s one entertainment avenue in which George R.R. Martin’s politically charged fantasy drama has mostly floundered: video games.
I personally loved the Telltale GoT. Probably one of the few where your choice actually matters. Iron from ice!
I loved it too, my favorite tell tale game. Always wishes there would be a sequel
D&D is used as an abbreviation for the main writers of the show (David Benioff and D. B. Weiss) because it's a hell of a lot shorter. So it's not a 'what' it's a 'who' and to be honest he's right. These guys have shown a complete disregard for the material with their recent attempt to rush it to completion to move on to their Star Wars work. These guys showed talent in adapting but don't have an original bone in their body based on their work beforehand.
In that case I agree and I apologize for coming off as an A hole. Dungeons and Dragons kept popping in my head every time I read D&D. Lol
I mean we only have the Telltale game, the 2012 RPG, and some mobile games to choose from. So probably Telltale? Even though I personally thought it was one of Telltale's worst products.
The highly popular HBO TV Series Game of Thrones is an adaptation from the book series A Song Of Ice And Fire by George R.R. Martin. But did you know that there are several games that have been based on this series? Here are 5 of the most talked about game adaptations of the Game of Thrones series.
Played through all of Telltales GoT. They butchered it. It was all really bad fan fiction...sadly
