Game of Thrones: Episode One - Iron From Ice starts the series very well with a compelling story, ending and by being overall inline thematically with George R. R, Martin's world. Some technical issues do plague it, but its a strong start to Telltale's Game of Thrones series.

Critic Reviews for Game of Thrones: Episode One - Iron From Ice
Despite graphical hiccups and some decisions that don't affect the end result, the series premiere of Telltale's 'Game of Thrones' is worth the journey.
Game of Thrones Ep 1: Iron from Ice is a strong start for Telltale's adventure in George R. R. Martin's fantasy world.
An intriguing and suspenseful first look into the Forresters' lives that hits all of the tones that Telltale and George R. R. Martin are known for
Game of Thrones' first episode is a slow-burn beginning to a bloody political thriller with an original cast that shines.
All the same, Iron From Ice succeeds far more often than it falters. It's yet another Telltale game that lives in those difficult moments, when you're glad it's your on-screen character standing there and not you.
There are reasons to like Iron From Ice, but they're few and far between. In the moment, it can be thrilling to spar words with Cersei or choose whether to execute a thief or send him to the Wall.
Give me more. Let me undo what I have done. Telltale, I need to see what happens next, and I need to make sure that I can fix it.
