    Man, Ubisoft used to make such good games! They were untouchable. Nowadays I'm struggling to think of a Ubisoft game I'm even slightly looking forward to.

    I'm not a huge fan of RPGs but I would buy this......




    .......if it wasn't a Ubisoft title.

    They managed to churn this out in what a year?
    This wouldn't have been made before it was clear that the TV adaptation would be very popular.

    Another tv/movie tie that will be rushed out to hit a deadline rather than released when it's ready. can't say I have high hopes for this one, which is s shame as I loved the first series

    Smells like speed-produced garbage aimed to milk the fleeting popularity of the tv series.

    Will not register on my radar whatsoever.

    I think I'll just watch the series again instead as that leaves me far less likely to want to claw my own eyes out (also; boobies).

    The TV show was good, but they missed out the big battles. I'm currently on the 3rd book and it gets pretty epic. Here's hoping that, after the success of the first TV series, they'll have a bigger budget so that they can actually do the battles some justice. Tyrion (the Imp) is badass, but the TV series kind of gimped him IMO.

    On the game, I had some hope for this - an RTS based on ASOFI sounds awesome in principle - but as everyone above has said now it just sounds rushed and simply a cash-in.

    Good TV Series
    Good books
    Good Game? - a hatrick is probably too much to hope for!
