Discuss book or TV show, hopefully book talk has spoilers around them!

Currently about 300 pages from finishing the second book.

Goooooood thread. Hopefully Niney gets in here.

Nope, the guy at GameStop told me to wait for the price drop, said it was getting bad reviews.

It will decline in a few months due to horrible reviews. TV show games never ever end up being good, I'm not even going to bother play it.

Yay! I think you'll really like it

I gotta rewatch this sometime before season 3 starts. I had a fairly hard time keeping track of everybody at first so I think I'd get a lot more out of it a second time through. I'm thinking about reading the first 2 books too

Apparently the story of the game is really good. The graphics are outdated but that doesn't really matter to me.

I heard the author had something to do with the game while it was created. That it's not directly from the books or show, but goes along with it?

I've read and decided I was going to buy the game three or four times now but I talk myself out of it each time. Like Natalie said the price drop is inevitable due to the bad scores. That being said, from what I've read that people that are fans of Westeros and forgiving of outdated graphics and horrible voice acting will have plenty of fun, if just for the novelty of being in the world.

It takes place during the first book but the events of the game are not canon.

Review of the game from my go to website for gaming news.

I was going to make a game of thrones thread last night! I am a total geek for the show now, and I almost wish I had waited several years before deciding to start watching it. I haven't fell in love with a show so much since Lost.

Question for those who will know:

Spoilers from season 2

Spoiler	+
In blackwater, when the Queen attacked her cousin Lancel for demanded he take Jofferey back to battle, did she kill him? I heard that somewhere but it looked as if she just hit him in the show :/

Lancel is a fierce bitch.

Spoiler	+
Cersei only punched the wound he took from an arrow during the Battle of Blackwater. Seems like he was less injured in the show than he was in the book unless I remember wrong, but no, she didn't kill him or anything like that.

Ty for clearing that up.

Anyone else baffled by:

Spoiler	+
Pyat Pree, dangerous sorcerer, kidnaps dragons to boost his magical powers. Captures the mother of dragons and locks her in chains...next to her dragons! Dies horribly.
