If there were any series perfect for the Telltale treatment, Game of Thrones would have to top the list (possibly behind that Very Hungry Caterpillar adaptation where you get to choose what he eats). The weighty decisions and shocking consequences are hallmarks of Telltale’s previous games, both of which are staples of George R. R. Martin’s acclaimed books. With the backing of HBO, Telltale are able to tie into the TV series, featuring familiar actors and locations as seen via members of House Forrester, a family on the sidelines of the series’ more pivotal events. Releasing near enough alongside Tales from the Borderlands, a series totally different in tone and setting, could it be argued that the Telltale formula is becoming too thinly-stretched?

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.
