The moment every Game of Thrones fan has been waiting for this season is almost upon us: this Sunday, the Battle of Blackwater will rock King's Landing to its core and change the lives of many of our beloved characters forever. In order to further whet our appetites for what will be an epic event in the making, HBO has released two new previews to let us know that War. Is. Here.

The dashing clans of Westeros are inspiring much more than just the rabid Sunday night Ice and Fire faithful. Witness these breathtaking fine art portraits of lordly Lannisters, Starks and Dothraki by Anja Dalisa and revel in their royalty.

It didn't take long after Game of Thrones debuted earlier this year for HBO to decide they wanted a second season. We've only seen glimpses of that second season so far, but rumor has it HBO wants to act even faster this time to lock down not one, but two more years of royal carnage.

Ever since Game of Thrones season 1 ended, we've been biding our time with displacement activities, like listening to different versions of the theme song, rereading the books and wondering how long it will take for season 2 to get here. (FYI: April 2012.) But now we have something else to look forward to: not one, not two, but three videogames.
