In a world first, Continue Play's Oli Zimmerman reviews The Old City: Leviathan - a stunning and mind-bending adventure game from indie developer PostMod Softworks. "The Old City: Leviathan is a dark and twisted slice of narrative-driven goodness. For the right person (I cant stress this enough), its definitely something to try if only to put your thinking cap on and play Sherlock to find out whats going on in this strange place. Ive played through a few times and Im still not 100% sure whats going on, but I think thats okay: I have questions burning to be answered, and I can have them answered if I like. All I have to do is hop back in and try to make more sense of things. And I honestly plan on doing that."

News::Game of Thrones: Iron from Ice review: for the trees - Polygon

Polygon: "A Song of Ice and Fire, the book series that spawned the Game of Thrones television show, is a story of a few powerful men and women fighting for control in a world where human life is just another currency. Telltale Games' latest episodic adventure is set in the world of Game of Thrones, and the first episode, Iron from Ice, attempts to show the player just how desperate life can be for individuals who don't stand at the top of the most powerful houses. It all boils down to the land you control, and the swords you command. Power, or at least the appearance of power, is everything. It's a wonderful setting for an adventure game, but Iron from Ice spends a significant amount of time on conversations about very important things that are about to happen and all that table-setting drags the pace of the episode to a near halt."

In the area of Crestwood, head south from Three Trout Camp (Southeast of the Village of Crestwood) and travel near a giant ridge to a place called Linden Farm. At the back of the farm you can spot a peculiar sight - a row of massive flowers against a crumbling wall, each along a narrow column in the ground. On several of the columns are corpses - a callback to the traditional playstyle of Plants vs Zombies

News::Review: Game of Thrones: A Telltale Game Series: Iron From Ice - Destructoid

Destructoid: "The War of the Five Kings might be one of the bleakest collections of events in A Song of Ice and Fire, the series on which HBO's and Telltale's Game of Thrones is based. The entire continent of Westeros is at war, heroes are slain, villains rise to power, and it is around this point that many readers and viewers finally accept that everything will probably not be okay (to put it lightly). Game of Thrones: A Telltale Game Series takes place toward the end of the conflict, but that does not mean everyone is safe. The kingdom is undergoing a restructuring of sorts, and those who were allied with the losing factions walk a thin line between loyalty and destruction. House Forrester of Ironrath in the North is one such clan, caught up in a conflict much greater than itself, struggling just to survive."

News::Game of Thrones: Episode One - Iron From Ice Review - Gamespot

Gamespot: "The first major decision you make in Telltales Game of Thrones breaks you. Its a deceptively complicated choice, a choice you second-guess for the entirety of the two-hour opening episode. You would think that making a choice between, say, saving one life and saving many lives would be simple. You have to do whats best for the house you serve, right? But what if its not the best thing for you, personally? What is more important: self-preservation or your lords legacy? When you play the game of thrones, you win or you die. There is no middle ground. So says Cersei Lannister in the HBO television series Telltales game is based on, which itself is based on George R. R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire books. Game of Thrones makes you participate in the twisted machinations of said game of thrones in an attempt to protect the reputation and ensure the survival of your family."

News::Game of Thrones Ep 1 - Iron from Ice - Game Informer

Geme Informer: "Telltale Games has a knack for killing beloved characters, seems intent on delivering experiences that fluctuate between doom and gloom, and has no problem feeding children to wolves. I cant think of a studio better fit to take on HBOs Game of Thrones, the popular television series based on George R. R. Martins A Song of Ice and Fire books. Telltales first foray into this dark fantasy world is just as thrilling, crushing, bloody, and unpredictable as the studios work on The Walking Dead series. In some cases its too similar to the ebb and flow of that zombie apocalypse, but the winds of winter are strongly felt in this first episode, giving fans of Martins work and its television adaptation another sliver of fiction to obsess over."

GamesRadar - Nothing else in gaming feels like Geometry Wars. Nothing. That shudder of adrenalised anticipation as the level warps in. The heightened alertness as you neatly gun down the first couple of waves, seemingly nonchalant, but senses tightening in readiness. Then the escalation. Gradual at first, but relentless, steady, and utterly merciless. Then The Zone. Not even consciously playing any more, youre watching yourself do the impossible, ducking and weaving between gaps that barely exist, time simultaneously speeding up and slowing down, as your mind whirls with piano-string tension and euphoric, synaesthesia-washed calm.

News::Game of Thrones Episode One review: Baptism by ice - Joystiq

Joytsiq: "The good news about Telltale Games' Game of Thrones is that it is very, very Game of Thrones. It captures perfectly the machinations, intrigue and violence that are the hallmark of the show - which is why, of course, its fidelity to its source material is also the bad news. You can say all the right things and still have everything go horribly wrong, your fate changing irreparably because of someone's malicious whim. It makes for a faithful adaptation of the popular HBO show based on the even more popular series of books, undoubtedly filling some players with despair and others with a fire to claw their way to the Iron Throne."

News::Game of Thrones: Episode 1 Iron from Ice Review - IGN

IGN: "The world of Game of Thrones is a bleak place where life is never fair, and doing the right thing more often than not results in terrible consequences for honorable people. The first episode of Telltales six-part Game of Thrones game represents that cruel reality explicitly; in two hours of dialogue decisions made with the knowledge that being good and noble might mean the downfall of House Forrester and the original characters you control, it sets up great anticipation for future episodes and delivers a strong ending of its own."
