My tastes haven't changed too much, they've certainly matured and been refined over the years. For example, I'm not very likely to tolerate a bad platforming game just because I want a new platformer, or similarly, play a poorly designed game because of the theme or series that it covers (Batman or Star Wars as an example). The playtime that some of the game types get has changed.

I play a lot less Madden and combat sports (boxing. MMA) games, but I still enjoy them when I do play them. Platformers don't get as much action, seemingly because they aren't quite as prolific as they used to be (many adventure games like Tomb Raider and Assassin's Creed have platforming aspects, and if you factor those in, maybe the playtime hasn't changed as much). I still love RPGs of all types, but I don't feel as though I have the time to invest in them as much as I used to and would like to.
I've always played shooters, and didn't always enjoy the deathmatch aspect of them, and yet, that is undoubtedly where the majority of my playtime goes now, and that's probably the biggest change. When I started gaming, online gaming didn't even really exist. Even after it did, I only used it sparingly, and yet now I'm nearly addicted to it.
