HG writes: "For the uninitiated, George RR Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire is a grand scale series of novels depicting the medieval style battles of the fictional land of Westeros. When it was revealed that Cyanide Games were developing a Real Time Strategy game based on the Westeros lore, I immediately thought that the setting would fit in perfectly with the grand scale of current RTS games. A number of large scale battles fill George Martin’s series as does the intrigue of various characters in attempting to find favour with others. And I was eager to see how Genesis would replicate the intricacies of battle in Westeros."
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 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.
