"We're delighted to be working with Telltale Games, a proven leader in the creation of engaging interactive content...Our fans are always looking for new, exciting ways to engage with the Game of Thrones brand and this game series will put them right in the middle of the action by letting them decide where the story will lead. This brings a whole new dimension to the world of Westeros."

Considering Telltale Games' stellar reputation, HBO has picked the right studio to create a "Game of Thrones" game, and it should be one of the best games of 2014 whenever it is released.
