I had my break for about 8 months last year but with 2 weeks in the middle that was full of Mario Kart :P
It happens though.. I'm off TV atm and I have books I wanna read but don't really feel like starting them.. CoD really got me back into my Wii and I have started playing Galaxy with Luigi - I forgot how amazingly good that game is!
I'd say that the best way to get some gaming in is to invite a few of your mates over and have some multiplayer fun. It's definately more fun that way
Finally, if you don't have something that your hyping up and absolutely can't wait for then usually you're going to feel the way you're feeling, the games you have been waiting for forever are always better, the movies you really wanna see make you feel like watching movies and TV, if there is a new series or something and you hype it up then you like it well then you're more likely to watch other shows too.
