"Game Of Thrones + Tinder = You Died," our Alec said in his Reigns review after swiping through cards to make binary decisions in the medieval monarch RPG. Well, that equation is about to get even simpler: "Reigns: Game Of Thrones = You Died." An official Game Of Thrones version of Reigns is coming soon, developers Nerial and publishers Devolver Digital announced today. Swipers will…
It's always a happy day when an update for a much-loved mod appears. The Game of Thrones total conversion for Crusader Kings II [official site] is such a blindingly obvious combination of worlds and mechanics that it simply had to exist. That the team working on it continue to do such a good job is fantastic. The latest update brings in support for the latest…
The third season of guts 'n' conversation adventure game, The Walking Dead [official site], will be coming out this November, Telltale has telltold the people of PAX. As we heard at E3, Clementine is making a return – older, wiser and probably much more killy. She'll have another playable character alongside, the lesser-known Javier, who has "been through hell" and looks a bit like a…
I know what you all might be asking. "Game of Thrones in my Gears of War?" Well, it's more likely than you think. Game of Thrones composer Ramin Djawadi has joined up with The Coalition to create the score for Gears of War 4 [official site]. "I certainly wanted to stay in the direction fans know, but at the same time, I wanted to bring…

Have You Played? is an endless stream of game retrospectives. One a day, every day of the year, perhaps for all time. No, not that Game Of Thrones game. The other one. The one no-one talked about. The RPG one. The one that was, confusing, based mostly on the books but had some TV people making plastic-faced cameos in it. The one a whole mess…
Coo, how about that Game of Thrones [official site] finale? And that thing with... The Ice Dragon? Was there actually an ice dragon or was episode 6's title metaphorical? Look, I haven't played it. Any spoilers in this post are the result of stupid stumbling luck. Besides, that finale's still only part-way through Telltale's grimdark fantasy choice 'em up. The developers had mentioned before that…
Telltale are releasing the sixth and final chapter of their Game of Thrones [official site] episodic adventure later today. They're presumably also planning to hunt you down, kick in your door, flay your PC, and impale its severed screen on a lamp post outside your home then make a necklace out your shattered mouse. Ahead of the release of 'The Ice Dragon' in a few…
All men must die, so I'm told, and I can't imagine the finale of Telltale's episodic Game of Thrones [official site] will be without a few tears, not to mention murders and mutilations. Unusually, Telltale announced its release date - November 17th - a month in advance, a break from their usual habit of muttering episode dates a few days before they're out. They didn't…
Crusader Kings 2 [official site] is a grand strategy game about human beings instead of armies, and it spins gripping Shakespearean yarns about medieval social climbing, full of murder, betrayal and bastards. It's brilliant, but you might be a little intimidated by its setting. That's just one of the reasons why the Game of Thrones mod is so good - and it's just hit version…
Speaking of conclusions to episodic adventure games made by Telltale, the devs have announced that their television murderfest spin-off Game of Thrones [official site] will wrap up on November 17th with its sixth episode, titled 'The Ice Dragon'. That makes this post a bit like going back to past and changing that other post so in the future we have a post about Game of…
Knowing nowt about Game of Thrones, I have little idea what counts as a spoiler - though I know GoT fans can be outraged by the slightest hint. If I tell you that Episode 5 of Telltale's Game of thrones [official site] is titled 'A Nest of Vipers', does that give anything away? Does GoT have a gang of hoodlums named The Vipers? Is it…
Feature: The Book Of Gripes
As wonderful as RPGs are, some tropes and cliches and just general bloody annoyances really do spoil the fun. Some of them might only crop up occasionally, others just won't go away. Some, you might think, are just petty irritations. But no! All these incontrovertible sins must be destroyed at once! Here's a few of my least favourite offenders. What others would you add to…
Oh sure, Charles Dance is a Highly Respected Act-Or again thanks to his icily charismatic role as Tywin Lannister in Game of Thrones, but I remember when he was making ends meet with roles in bottom-of-the-barrel drek such as 1996's Space Truckers. He played a man with a cybernetic schlong, whose utterances included the deathless line "If I had an anus I'd probably soil myself."…
Some times you want an expert. You want someone who knows a game inside and out, back to front, uphill both ways in the snow. This person is also a menace. They'll let story spoilers slip or, worse, show off with hints that aren't as cryptic as they think. No, some times you want a fool, a know-nothing dolt who can't ruin everything. That's me…
Feature: Damn, it feels bad to be a Forrester
A well-timed stopgap before HBO's latest series of deadly politics comes to our screens, the second episode of Telltale's say-the-right-thing-or-die spin-off more or less continues the high standard set by the first instalment. If you haven't played that or ever intend to, please be warned that we're going into spoilers for episode 1 right from the off. So don't lose your head if you read…
Hoo boy. This is going to be tricky. What we've got for you here is a first look trailer for episode two of Telltale's Game of Thrones series. That's fine in and of itself. You could give it a watch: it's quite entertaining.
Feature: Nice Night For A Wedding
Warning: this article presumes familiarity with the entire televisual run of Game of Thrones, as indeed does the game itself. In other words: SPOILERS. Don't read on if you're not up to date with the show. Game Of Thrones, Telltale's latest episodic conversational dilemma game interweaves with the third and fourth seasons of the HBO show. It stars a 'new' House, the historically Stark-aligned Forresters,…
Telltale have released the first trailer for their upcoming Game of Thrones game series. The narration is confirmation that the game will have actors from the TV adaptation as it's narrated by Cersei Lannister Lena Headey. It's accompanied by a blog entry specifically explaining that Heady will be joined by at least three other cast members – Peter Dinklage (Tyrion Lannister), Natalie Dormer (Margaery) and…
House... Forrester?!!!!?? Now come on, come on. I mean, no-one expected to be a Stark, but COME ON. You will be a member of House Forrester in Telltale's upcoming adventure/chat-o-dilemma adaptation of Game of Thrones - specifically the TV version, specifically set just before season 5. HOUSE BLOOMIN' FORRESTER.
Yes, "the" Borderlands. The relentlessly silly blast-fest from Gearbox, as opposed to, um, that other Borderlands. Telltale might not seem like the most natural fit for a spinoff of the action-heavy RPG (which is less conversational and more often gunversational), but it's happening, per Spike's abysmally awkward VGX "award" show over the weekend. Also fired from the dudebro-centric network's Big Fucking Announcement Gun: a Telltale Game…
