    George RR Martin is consulting with From Software on an upcoming game. That is the studio behind Dark Souls and Sekiro. No word if it is based on GOT.  Nevertheless this is very, very, very good news!  They would have been a top 3 choice although I wouldn’t have suspected them as their games have great stories but it is up to the player to find and interpret the story... no hand holding and prescricpted cutscenes.

    That's good.  The other GOT game is basically a 'choose your own adventure' book.

    In other news, a hack was created for the newest PS Vita software, so I was able to install all my retro games on that as well.

    I tried to buy that game from Telltale software a few weeks ago but the studio shut down and they pulled the game from the PS4 and Xbox storefronts.  I looked at buyin a used physical disc but I guess they don’t have all the chapters on the disc and force you to download them.  

    Speaking of retro games, if you like Out Run and the SNES Top Gear, check out Horizon Chase Turbo.  New game with HD retro graphics and soundtrack.  It’s on sale for around $10 on PS4 and Xbox right now.

    They were all free on PS+ I believe months ago.  I grabbed them.  Played for a few hours, but lost interest and never picked it up again.

    It really wasnt bad.  Added depth to GOT and the content is halfway decent and well thought out...  But like I said, the game was largely Choose Your Own Adventure.  Choose what you say to this person, press X now.  Press Y rapidly.  No try again, but press it rapidly.... etc.  Not really my type of game.

    Would love a GOT game with Skyrim layout/freedom/mechanics

    Yeah, a Bethesda game would be awesome although I’m fine with them focusing on the Elder Scrolls universe.  Although it would unite the trifecta of haters.  Book haters, show haters and now video game haters. hate!  hate!  hate!  

    A 4x GOT game would be pretty awesome as well as a good RTS, which is a genre that needs revived anyway. 

    I saw saw an article that the Martin / From Software game may be based on Norse mythology.

    I think I've been obsessed with MLB The Show 19 more than any game in five years.  I'm putting Skyrim / Fallout time into this game.

    It’s confirmed that George RR Martin and From Software are working on a game!  Not set in GOT though which is probably a good thing so they don’t have constraints in game design.  

    Elden Ring

    Blair Witch game is you running around with a camcorder and not being able to see anything while someone chases you around the woods at night with a dirty mop.

    https://kotaku.com/konami-announces-the-turbografx-16-mini-1835430762?fbclid=IwAR3kE3uJOyk9xkAwDdixMNtQn2H7MOfTOxyQjlo8tVBIbEBk6SyM0IRqjwk

    Hey, if Nintendo and Sega can do it, then Konami can too. In a surprise E3 announcement, the company is releasing a miniature version of the classic 90s Turbografx-16 console, called the Turbografx-16 mini.

    If you’re wondering why Konami is handling this, the original console was a joint effort between NEC and Hudson. Konami became Hudson’s parent company in 2005 and then absorbed its operations in 2012, meaning it owns the brand and all its properties.

    Six titles have been announced so far for North America/Europe:

    • R-Type
    • Ys Book I & II
    • New Adventure Island
    • Ninja Spirit
    • Alien Crush
    • Dungeon Explorer

    I didn't get into Turbografx, but I am familiar with R Type since it hit other consoles.  I'll have to look into the games as they're released.
