The War of the Five Kings in Westeros made a volatile continent erupt into chaos. King Robert Baratheon’s death caused much turmoil and there wasn’t a single House in the Seven Kingdoms which wasn’t affected in one way or another.
Telltale Games’ latest endeavor, Game of Thrones, deals with one particular House: House Forrester. The Forresters have been bannermen of the North’s ruling House, The Starks, for centuries. With the death of Eddard Stark and his heir, Robb, there is no one who can protect the Forresters from their age long enemies, House Whitehill, or for that matter, the North’s new ruling House: House Bolton.

Danny at IGCritic notes down his personal most shocking deaths in games. Danny writes "When people speak of the most shocking video game deaths or the saddest video game deaths, it’s a sure bet that these five will be near the top of their list. After all, we spend hours upon hours with these characters"
Gears of War 3 for me. Just heartbreaking to see that brother hood being broken with Marcus losing his one close friend like that. I don't know to many ppl who didn't choke up.
Game of Thrones has enthralled fans through its hit HBO television series and the George R. R. Martin books. The action is gritty and the political drama intriguing. Most important to the series’ success is that the characters illicit an emotional response for their duplicity, occasional knuckleheaded decisions, and brazen acts of cruelty. The winding plot with its multiple perspectives and intersecting storylines lends itself well to a video game.
Now that I've finished The Walking Dead Season Two and The Wolf Among Us, I definitely will pick this and Tales From The Borderlands up next.
