This could be an interesting one.
Since I absolutely love the series, and hoping to get a grip on the books soon, I hope this adaption will work and be decent game-fication of a popular franchise.

Too bad no gameplay is trailed, but I hope for the best.

Could work, but be wary for it being a cheap cash-in of its current popularity. Many of those games are made, as we all know.

This as been in planning for some time iirc. Probably thinking of something else tho.

I just finished watching the shows the other day and gonna start the books I think. Didn't know there was a game!!! This is gonna be sweet!

The video game rights were optioned in 2009. The next game in the series is going to be an RPG, and George R.R. Martin has a producer-type role in both (I think he said something about how he was going to make sure that they were going to be good).

Spoiler warning:

I have just finished the second book and loved the HBO adaption however I have very little interest in an RTS of games of thrones. I would love to see a well made RPG as Alakazander as mentioned. Especially if you could a character from any house, choose whether to be good/evil and we know the world map is already huge without going north of the wall.

Surprised Bethesda didn't snap this up and just re-skin the fallout/oblivion maps.

I liked the HBO version, I doubt I will be buying the game

You're right Cyanide is a somewhat... odd choice of developer. I had heard of their "Manager" series, but apparently they have made a couple of RTS and RPG games as well (none of which I have ever heard of). I think it is so Martin can have a more active role in the actual construction of the game but, .
