Games I’m looking forward to in 2011

by Leave a Comment

2010 was a great year for video games. There was Mass Effect 2,Starcraft 2,Civilization 5, Metro 2033, and Super Meat Boy, just to name a few. 2011 looks like it is going to continue the streak.

Here is the list of some of the games I am looking forward to in 2011:

  1. Mass Effect 3 – This is definitely my most anticipated game of the year. I have a bad habit of not finishing games but I have finished both 1 and 2. In fact, I had a hard time playing anything else for a while after finishing 2 because it was so good.
  2. Portal 2 – I don’t really know what to say about this one. It’s a sequel to Portal created by Valve. Sign me up!
  3. Rage – Obviously this game looks amazing. I am really hopeful that this will be id Software’s return to form in the FPS genre. They have done great stuff in the past so I’m hopeful this will be great as well.
  4. Homefront – The intriguing part of this game for me is the setting. It refreshing to see a game that’s not trying to be ultra-realistic or ultra-set-in-space.
  5. Bulletstorm – I’ve started looking forward to this because of Weekend Confirmed. They mentioned this as the game people waiting for Duke Nukem Forever would appreciate. Sounds like fun so I’ll be checking it out.
  6. Dragon Age 2 – This one is a little strange for me. I am looking forward to it but haven’t actually finished the first game yet. Actually, I haven’t really even started it. My anticipation is mostly about it being an RPG from Bioware that is going to borrow from Mass Effect. Sounds like a winning formula to me.

What do you think? What games are your most anticipated?

Gotta Finish BioShock

by Leave a Comment

There are several games in my catalog I have never finished. I tend to buy more games than I have time to play. Every once in a while I will look through my games and pick one to finish. This time that game is BioShock.

I am actually a little embarrased I haven’t finished this game yet. I am a huge fan of FPS games and BioShock is one of the best released in the last several years. I also own 3 copies of it. I did only pay a total of $15 for all those copies combined but it’s time that I got my money’s worth out of it.

So BioShock is the first featured game here at K & M tavern. The goal is to be finished with it by the end of January. Let’s hit it!

Welcome to K & M Tavern

Welcome to K & M Tavern! This site is built to be a book club type site for PC Gamers.

The idea for this site began to take form in the fall of 2009. I read about the last 3 books of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series. They were going to come out in the fall of 2009, 2010 and 2011. It had been a while since I read through that series so I thought it would be a good time to start over. I would read through them with the goal of being ready for the last one when it came out.

I started to think about a website I could build to chronicle my journey through the books. Other people could come to the site and participate as well. I would write my thoughts of each book and allow others to do the same.

I also started thinking about doing this for Diablo 1 and 2. Blizzard is working on Diablo 3 so I thought I would play through 1 and 2 while blogging about my experience. As I thought about that, I realized there are several other games I would want to do that with as well. I decided I did not want to pigeon-hole myself into just a Diablo-themed site.

So the basic idea was to have a site that would allow me to write about my experiences reading different books or playing different games. Other people would be able to see what I wrote and comment on it. They would also be able to write about their own experiences. Hopefully it would grow into a whole community of people reading or playing PC games and sharing their experiences.

It is with this idea in mind that we built K & M Tavern. You can join the conversation by signing up here. And we are starting things off with BioShock.
