"Game of Thrones means many things to many different people. There are the hardcore fantasy nerds who have been reading the books long before the show ever existed. There are the TV faithful who have been tuning into the show week after week to see the world of Westeros come to life. Then there are the deep-dive fans who gobble up anything related to the seven kingdoms any way that they can. Game of Thrones is just the most recent example of fantasy going mainstream, but it still inspires such niche things like cookbooks and craft beers. So it was only a matter of time before Game of Thrones got gobbled up by the world of video games (there already was one Game of Thrones video game, but - well, it was awful)."

Gears of War 3 for me. Just heartbreaking to see that brother hood being broken with Marcus losing his one close friend like that. I don't know to many ppl who didn't choke up.
Game of Thrones has enthralled fans through its hit HBO television series and the George R. R. Martin books. The action is gritty and the political drama intriguing. Most important to the series’ success is that the characters illicit an emotional response for their duplicity, occasional knuckleheaded decisions, and brazen acts of cruelty. The winding plot with its multiple perspectives and intersecting storylines lends itself well to a video game.
