Happiness Is A Game Of Thrones RPG Video Game

For those of you who follow George R.R. Martin's blog, I'm sure you're excited as I am about this news. For those of you who don't, but are fans of the books and the show, this is amazing news indeed. Cyanide Studios and Atlus Entertainment are working on a Game Of Thrones RPG video game coming out next year, possibly in March 2012. That's right, Game Of Thrones as a video game. It looks like they have reached an agreement with HBO allowing them to use elements from the television show in their game as well.

I admit, I was skeptical and thrilled at the same time. With such an intricate story of this magnitude, a video game could be either really good or really bad. After watching a trailer on the website however, I find myself impressed, hopeful, and wanting to see more game trailers as the game develops. It looks fantastic and it seems that Cyanide Studios and Atlus Entertainment want to make this game as great as possible.

You can check out the trailer and other information at the official video game website here: http://gameofthrones-thegame.com/#/pages/frozenWall/subPage1
The French fans at La Garde de Nuit were invited to a hour and a half long  presentation of the game and shared their insights and video here: http://www.lagardedenuit.com/blog/
This website has the most in depth information on the video game which you can take a look at here: http://www.westeros.org/ASoWS/News/Entry/New_Details_on_Atlus_USAs_Game_of_Thrones_RPG/
And of course you can check out George R.R. Martin's blog here: http://grrm.livejournal.com/256473.html

I for one, am quite interested in this and looking forward to more news about this game as it develops, especially seeing how fantastic everything looks so far.

Happy Holidays to everyone!
