A Game of Thrones: Genesis

[ManaByte]

“A Game of Thrones – Genesis”, Cyanide Studio’s new strategy game for PC, adaptation in a video game of the successful saga A Song of Ice and Fire by George R.R Martin, finally unveils itself! We invite you today to discover the two very first screenshots taken from this real-time strategy game, in which your political prowess will be as important as your strategic and military skills!

Thanks to a well-developed single player campaign written under supervision of the author George R.R. Martin, “A Game of Thrones – Genesis” immerses you into the heart of the battles and intrigues between the Houses that shaped the Kingdom of Westeros. Live the origins of the A Song of Ice and Fire saga through more than 1000 years of History, and take part in Westeros’ founding events and largest battles such as Aegon the Conqueror’s invasion on the continent or the War of the Usurper.

In this great strategy game, victory does not necessarily result from brute force. You can choose to use a military approach and besiege your opponents, strangle them in an economical war, or even use dirty tricks and diplomacy to politically crush them. Treachery and deception are everywhere, so watch your back and prepare for battle!

A Game of Thrones – Genesis will be released on PC in summer 2011.

haha, like grr martin can take precious time away from masturbating to his precious packers (it takes entire days of flesh spelunking to find his dick) to "supervise" a strategy game, much less WRITE A FUCKING BOOK

I'll play it.  I will be disappointed.

No but the resource gathering unit will be George R.R. Martin himself.  He harvests bitter tears.

I thought Game of Thrones didn't have dragons or magic or anything?

It has in very small amounts.  The farther the books progress the more magic gets put in.
Most of the magic in Games comes in the first 10 pages, and the last little bit, and any talk of earlier times when there was more magic.

Ah. Some guy at work has been hyping up the HBO series at work and he's been telling everyone how it's not nerdy or full of magic and dragons.

The game depicts the backstory of the series, during which there was lots of magic. The book starts off during a time when magic/dragons have been dead for hundreds of years. And as FM said, those supernatural aspects slowly creep back into place as the books progress
