Game of Thrones’ second season just kicked off, and our excitement about the continuing saga of the feuding families of Westeros has returned with a vengeance. The series has already made the jump to video games once, and two more interactive adaptations of George R.R. Martin’s work are due to arrive later this year, but even so, we've got a healthy surplus of things we want to see done with the franchise...

Thanks to platforms like Xbox Live Arcade and the App Store, it’s easier than ever for developers to put out small, awesome games ready to be gobbled up by plenty of hungry gamers. This has led to a rise in independent game studios: teams of developers sometimes made up of just a handful of people.

Thankfully GR is here to help, with a list of 26 of the best and brightest developers the indie scene has to offer...

To help make the new game a little easier to figure out, here’s a quick overview on the cast of major characters and where they stand. Best of all, it’s spoiler free for those who haven't solved the original cases!
Once a videogame hero has more than one or two adventures under his or her belt, it simply isn’t enough to just have an archenemy anymore. To keep things interesting, they need a foil, a rival, or some other angry opposite number obsessed with matching wits with them. Sometimes, those characters stick around long enough to make themselves an indelible part of the series, even going so far as to make friends with the protagonist – although more often than not, their friendships tend to be shaky at best, and even those involved might never fully admit to them. Relationships like that tend to make for gaming’s most enduring and interesting rivalries, and what follows are some of the most notable...
