I've been playing games since a wee little kid... So lets say I've been a gamer for some 20ish years and lately I'm getting jaded by "new" games. It's all the same stuff over and over. You get gems here and there but in general new games no longer excite me.
I used to be a firm believer in buying games, then switched to download and buy if I like but nowadays I download them. In general I install them, play them for a week on and off and then uninstall and forget them. Nothing holds my attention.
I suppose this could be attributed to having a life, being hooked on Eve Online (why play a free game when I'm paying constantly for another one) but really I feel games have just lost their way. There is very little true innovation anymore just rehashs of something done before. All the *big* name games that have recently been released all look pretty but all feel pretty soulless (sp?)
So to answer your question I couldn't give two f*cks about COD4, Unreal3, Crysis and DIRT. It's same game, newer graphics.
If there is a game that I'm waiting on with a little glimmer of hope is SPORE but then as I've said previously it looks technically fab but lacking anything that resembles a game. I think Black and White series also has potential hiding away somewhere that I hope is realised someday (no idea if a third is on the cards, I'm just saying).
Anyway, that's my opinion.

Not I, I still enjoy games, I finished Prey, FEAR, Oblivion + Shivering Isles, Stalker.... I still go back to some of them from time to time but they are old now. My favorite is still FarCry, nothing like taking out a henchman with the sniper rifle off a rope bridge while he's taking a smoke break.
that sounds contradictory??
cool to have your own opinion but I still look forward to new stuff.

To explain I'm hooked on Eve but don't spend all day and night playing like I used to be with games in the past plus you can advance to some degree without actively playing the game. Putting it another way, for the couple hours I have to play games a night I spend it playing Eve. That make more sense

I get bored. Happens with everything; movies, relationships, music ect. tolerance levels build with any exposure = apathy. Do you really think Doom 1 had more depth than Doom3. I don't but i agree it should be the other way around. It hasn't been, just nicer graphics. Can games evolve.. is there a next level.. where did i leave my hat.

I agree, I think that more new games should start to get better and bring a deeper gameing experience, since alot of games coming out have ok if not awsome graphics I think that for a game to really distinguish itself it will need better gameplay and other elements.
At least its not as bad as about a few years ago when 3d graphics were fairly new, they could sell any peice of junk game just by saying it was 3d, there is still some of this mentality but I think it will begin to fade some in time.

Has anyone mentioned Starcraft 2?
I know it's a 2008 release, but jeez, the original Starcraft (a game many young ones would not be familiar with), provided me with hours and hours of entertainment through my first year of uni.
Blizzard, in my opinion, are master-makers of entertainment.

Well, how many S. Koreans do we have in here?
Roll on Combat Mission Shock Force... been kicking around the preview build, there will be a lot of re-learning to be done there... What else? Err, Company of Heroes expansion could hold me over for a bit. I've just come late to the Supreme Commander game, hoping it'll do the business for a good while as well. Anyone see our summer preview btw? Some decent titles... MoH: Airborne looks good from a gaming perspective. Not too sure about CoD, though.

I can't wait for Starcraft 2, the first one was great and still is, why did they wait so long for a sequal
I feel like being in the same situation as you.
Peter Molynux (not sure of the typo) is a god when we speak of originality. FYI he was former team lead with Bullfrog which made Dungeon Keeper. My point here is, he's the one making stuff different, thinking out of the box and talking of which, there is Overlord that, I hope, will give something new to a game. Maybe you can have a look.
Of course, you have to appreciate the genre.
(Btw, Eve is really awesome, I wish I had more money and time to get back)

Don't hold your breath for Spore, guys. Word is it may slip to 2009. It could be another 2 years before we see it.
As for me, I'm pumped about StarCraft 2, Team Fortress 2, Alan Wake, Fallout 3, and probably most excited about HL2 Epside 2, because I'm a fanboy, and BioShock, because nothin' says scary like crazy mutated little girls...
