The Game of Thrones franchise has been a real success and the viewers can't wait for the next episode to show up. The TV Show based on George R.R. Martin's novel is now in iTunes, but the AppStore editors have a surprise for the fans. 
 
There's a new Selection called "Game of Thrones" that will get you everything you love in one place. 
 
First of all, for those of you who do not know about this TV Show, Game of Thrones is a series created for HBO and it is an adaptation of George R.R. Martin's fantasy novel "A Song of Ice and Fire". The TV episodes are written by two other writers and Martin only writes one episode per season. There are already four seasons on TV and the show has been renewed for seasons five and six. 
 
Game of Thrones debut on TV was back in April of 2011 and the show audiences have exploded immediately. The Show follows the story of several noble houses that are engaged in a war and some other plots. The show has been awarded several times with Emmys, Golden globes and even a Hugo Award. Among the fans of this show we've seen political leaders such as Barack Obama and many european politicians. 
 
iTunes has a great selection of stuff related to the show. First off: the show itself. The first three seasons are on iTunes for $38.99 (€29.11) each.
 
But if you want to find out more, make sure to get the Books. There is five of them available for prices around five bucks each or you can get a 4-Book bundle by George R.R. Martin for $21.99 (€16.42). The bundle includes the following novels: "A game of Thrones", "A clash of kings", "A storm of swords" and "A feast for crows".
 
Another great way to enjoy the whole story is the Graphic Novels. This category has 12 different books with prices ranging from $3.99 (€2.98) up to $9.99 (€7.46).
 
The music from the TV Show is iconic. The great soundtrack composer Ramin Djawadi has turned the main title of Game of Thrones into a recognizable piece of music covered by hundreds of musicians. 
 
If you want to turn the movie into a game, there are two apps to help you with that along with the official HBO Game of Thrones app that looks like the kind of "second screen" for the fans watching the shows. There is also a great selection of Podcasts dedicated to this subject for your listening pleasure.
