Game Of Thrones | featured news

I really wanted to like the Game of Thrones role-playing game. The title has been in development for seven years by French developer Cyanide Studio - long enough for a polished game to emerge.

“Game of Thrones,” HBO’s hit drama based on George R.R. Martin’s much-loved “Song of Ice and Fire” fantasy series, can be counted on for a few things: severed heads, insider intrigue, mythical creatures, and a huge and confusing cast of characters. Oh, and naked women. Lots of them.

I hate to be that "the book is better" guy, but A Clash of Kings, the novel that Game of Thrones' second season is based on, is better than what we've seen on the screen so far. But there's a good reason for that. The book was not meant to be ingested in 10 hours; Game of Thrones Season 2 is. I can almost hear creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss constantly screaming, "WHAT DID WE GET OURSELVES INTO?" as they squish their scripts, slash characters, and take shortcuts.

The new season of the medieval fantasy “Game of Thrones” serves up plenty of wartime posturing, a seemingly endless number of would-be rulers and the usual sex and violence.

Have you ever seen a trailer and thought, "I'm going to freakin' die from anticipation?" That's the thought that Game of Thrones fans are going to have when you see this season 2 trailer. HBO's hit show has it all: politics, treachery, dragons, and Tyrion Lannister. If the anticipation doesn't kill me, I'm sure the first moment I lay my eyes on Tyrion on season 2 will.
