PC RTS game ‘A Game of Thrones – Genesis’ has been given a release date of September 29th. Based on the books by George RR Martin, the game:
“Emphasizes the backstabbing and political intrigues which are common in Westeros and the fight for the Iron Throne. Command the assassination of an opponent’s Great Lord, set up secret alliances, send a spy to take the place of the opponent’s unit, or harass his trade routes to weaken his economy. Treasons, espionage, kidnapping and ransoms… treachery is everywhere, so always watch your back!
It is also very possible, by cleverly using all the low blows the game allows you to use, to earn victory without ever entering an open war or recruiting any army.”
Sounds good! If only my laptop could run something more graphically intensive than MS Word.

I’m actually pretty excited for this, hopefully it is one of the few good games that are based on a TV show / book / movie

This does sound good. I’ve been meaning to read these books for ages, I really should get that done before I play this.

Sounds a bit like ruse – will be interested to see some screens

It’ll be interesting to see how this one plays.

I’d love to play it, but seeing as my laptop stutters and slows during the ‘boss fight’ of Portal…
Yeah, don’t think I’m playing this one.

A surprising move, but good to see the Sega Genesis getting a bit more love.
The gameplay trailer looks pretty cool too:

I really hope this is good as I’m a big fan of the tv show and if what they say they’re doing in the game is true and they execute it well I think it could be amazing.
