A Song of Fire and Ice is a fantasy universe rife with potential in alternate story-telling mediums, as has been shown with popularity of the TV show based on the series. A Game of Thrones: Genesis, from Cyanide Studios, covers the history of Westeros leading up to the main story. It’s an ideal setting for a strategy game, and the team does a good job of translating the characters and story from novels to cutscenes.
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.
8CN: Despite having one of the most rich, vibrant, and popular fantasy worlds out there, the setting of Game of Thrones has been surprisingly lacking in the video game scene. If you're really itching to visit a digital Westeros though, there are a few options.
