The best way to fix that is, as some people have said, step away from gaming for a bit. When you come back, find a different company that makes games in the genre that you like, since they may be fresh enough to respark your interest. |
This is good advice, but another thing you can do when you come back is to take the opportunity to try a few new genres. I'm not talking about going back to genres you already know you don't enjoy; try something you haven't really done much with before.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
