i totally agree with the OP, when i used to play both Vice City and San Andreas i never even finished 1 mission on either game, i used to just go round having fun and exploring but now when i play games like assassins creed brotherhood and red dead it just seems like ive lost the imagination for it, i just do the missions and thats it
but if u were talking about gaming skill then i think ive got alot better since i was younger just now i get alot more rage when i fail
End of 2012 prediction:
xbox 360 : 73-75 million
playstation 3 : 72-74 million
wii : 104-105 million 
Most hyped for :
Bioshock: infinte, The Last Of Us, Alan Wake's American Nightmare and Agent
