A Game of Thrones: Genesis

I was in 'Game' the other day, browsing around for a strategy game or something, and came across this. It looked really interesting but I was also quite skeptical, thought I'd read up a bit about it before hand. Wikipedia only tells you so much so I thought I'd ask here, guessing that if anyone has played it its bound to be the good folks on this forum.

I like to play the (very) occasional PC game - I had a mis-spent youth playing Civilisation II and Age of Empires - and when I decide to invest my valuable time in a game, I want to make sure its worthwhile first.

There's another due out on consoles in the next few months, not directly based on the books, it will take the view of members of the nights watch anf a red priest. From what i have seen of it, it plays like the Dragon Age games.

Not exactly sure what time in terms of the books it will follow, but seeing as the TV series is only entering season 2 I'd imagine it will be based in around that time.

Short video review of the Genesis game http://www.gametrailers.com/video/review-pod-a-game-of/721998 Looks a bit like a mediocre RTS game with a Song of Ice & Fire skin slapped lazily on top.

Link to the video for the upcoming RPG calex71 mentioned http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cagSl3rgM2Q It could be good, since it doesnt try to emulate the books plots but side stories that occur during those periods. Really depends what the writing is like.

Is it true the new RPG has on line battles?

Heard no mention of it in anything I've seen to date, doesn't mean it wont have online / multiplayer aspects though, but I haven't seen it mentioned.
