This has hit me big. I have had absolutely 0 desire to play Xbox since Bayonetta came out. final fantasy 13 was great, but I put it down for a week and simply couldn't come back to it. Then there was Bioshock 2. man I LOVED the first one but I could only manage 30 minutes of B2 before I almost died from severe case of the yawns. Then my brother got battlefield 2. Have not even put it in the disk drive once. and don't want to. I would have loved that game a year or 2 ago now I just cant be bothered. same with halo reach, haven't even looked at the beta or the game and simply don't care even though I played tonnes of halo 3. red dead redemption looks like the most boring game of all time. I know I sound very negative and there are a few exceptions to this. I've found i'm playing games on pc more like Starcraft 2 because i can stop doing homework, jump in for 10 minutes then back to work. and i played quite a bit of Pokemon heart gold. But jeez games just keep coming out and out and out It has just made me sooo sick of them. I am only looking forward to playing Mario Galaxy 2 (after that nice 10 review) and Metroid Other M because I love Metroid games. But other than that and Starcraft 2 I just cant be bothered any more. Can anyone else relate to this, if so, did you get back into them, did you somehow get more free time or do you just game casually but like me love the community?

You got older?

even though im older im still 16 i thought i would still be interested.

Burnout? Take a break from playing games for a couple months.

There could be alot of reasons for instance i used to play lot of games before i started job.The day i joined office i didn't touch my ps2 or ps3 for whole one year it was like all of a sudden i wasn't interested in video games.a year later i m playing games on ps3 but like 4 to 5 hours per week!u had routine change recently???

well i am studying for exams atm and just a lot more social life and work this year. plus football and gym commitments i dont have time and just not interested anymore for some reason

I guess I can sort of relate. Alot of games I just can't jump into and play for hours anymore like when I was a teen. Mostly cause I have no time due to studing for school so I don't really have much time to play games with huge complex stories. What you need are games based solely on awesome gameplay like SMG2, DDR or like pokemon like you mentioned. Those games I love to play in between breaks of studing or breaks at wrk or between classes. The other games can't draw me in because I play it for so little at a time (maybe that's the problem) while gameplay focused games are just jump in fun whenever u play no matter how little you spend on it.

U need a little break from gaming, dont play anything for few weeks , u will get back some enthusiasm.

break sounds like a really good idea. and i especially like ur advice pokeclaudel its THOSE sort of games that i am still playing bits of. I cannot find time for rpgs at all. just games that i cna play 10-30 mins at a time r what i enjoy atm

you have starcraft 2 what more do you need Pokemon that's what and you have that so you are set. And that is why you don't feel like playing anything else you have all the game you need.
