Two of the game designers from Cyanide's studio in Montreal flew down to New Mexico on Friday to give me a look at their GAME OF THRONES RTS game (that's Real Time Strategy, for those of you who don't speak Gaming), which is now done and will be rolling out Real Soon Now.
Now, I have to admit, I am far from being an expert on videogames. In fact, I've never played any of the current RTS games. My experience with videogaming was almost entirely with older, turn-based DOS strategy games like ROMANCE OF THE THREE KINGDOMS, PIRATES, MASTER OF ORION, RAILROAD TYCOON, and the like. And as you can probably tell from those titles, I stopped videogaming some years ago (not because I did not like it -- truth to tell, I liked it too much, and found that I was spending way too much time playing games on my computer when I should have been writing).

Sounds like a potentially dangerous drain on my time. Not sure my employer will be pleased.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely going to check it out ( I am a gamer myself, and I love game of thrones and the books). I hope it's good. Allthough I'm not sure I have the time lol
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, Montreal :O! That's where I live :D! Very cool. Secondly, Cyanide Studios is fantastic. They're responsible for the MYST games. So, you know, quality stuff tends to come out of there. Finally, from what I've heard about this, it tells the history of the world and you play events leading up to GOT. I've spent a fair amount of time immersed in the world of the books and the show, so it'll be exciting to get more of a handle on the history of the world.
