So excited! I fell in love with the books years ago, now there's an awesome TV series about it on HBO AND a RTS game in the works?

Love it!

I just started reading the books recently, I must say that the series is one of the best book to small-screen adaptations I've ever read/seen.

looking forward to the game

The books are amazing.

The only books that beat it out for me are Lord of the Rings.

In fact, Song of Ice and Fire is like Tolkien with a dark tinge.

I nearly threw the books on two occasions... the first and third books.

You get so involved with the characters that you'll be throwing books to.

Do yourself a favor though... limit what you read about a Game of Thrones on forums.

People can and will spoil.

New book finally comes out on July 12th (US) btw for you fans that have been waiting for years like I have :)

Yes I can't wait for the new book. I love the TV series as well. They quote the book a lot and I love how they changed some scenes to cut out the chaff.

I disagree about Lord of the Rings. I do love the book but after reading George's series LotR doesn't have the same impact.

What’s the best Game of Thrones video game?

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!

lucian2291817d ago

One of my favorite telltale games. Loved the story

Manubiggs1817d ago

I loved it too, my favorite tell tale game. Always wishes there would be a sequel

Hatsu121817d ago

The one that's not written by D&D

pietro12121817d ago

What does that even mean? Sounds like you don't know what D&D is?

TekoIie1817d ago (Edited 1817d ago )

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.

pietro12121817d ago

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

porkChop1817d ago

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.
