**** Spoiler alert on this merry little jingle….beware, it is also awful. ***
Up in Winterfell, Direwolf paws!
Out jump White walkers, hungry maws!
Up in a window Bran is shoved!
Off to the Wall with the bastard unloved!
Ho ho ho! Who wouldn’t go?
Ho ho ho! Ned’s gotta go!
Down to King’s Landing, clop, clop, clop!
Off with his head, chop, chop, chop!
Do you know what others also think is awful? Game of Thrones: Genesis, the PC game from Cyanide. It’s gotten really low scores on Amazon, while Steam users are recommending it. It’s in my own Wishlist, hint. It has a metascore of 54, with a user score of 4.5, which is worryingly low. However, most reviewers are a bunch of saggy-pants whiny green boys. The positive reviews do tell of a game of strategy, statesmanship, alliance, treachery, and choices. You can’t hack and slash your way to victory, so go play an FPS for godsake.
Anyway, I really don’t want to twist your arm or anything but Amazon is having a sale on this puppy so if you want to try it out, now’s the time.
You can also find this 4.1 GB download at Steam. It’s so special there’s no hard-copy available. I guess that saves the Earth from thousands of abandoned polycarbonate discs in the long-run if the scores are anything to go by. If you don’t use Steam I guess it would be hard to gift this to someone, so this one’s all yours.
