After gaming for so long, games are the same thing over and over again

rpgs, shooter, sports, adventure, or fighting and that's it. This just repeats and repeats its becoming boring

does anybody feel the dullness

if you are about 20-25 then its just you losing interest in gaming, happened to me once, i just forced my way back to gaming.

games have been dull ever since it went 3D except for some great 3D games of course, 2D games were more fun IMO, you could play the same game for almost a year and still not get bored, now days most games cant even last a week.

No, what's the point of playing video games if you aren't having fun.

What you need is a DS--the Phoenix Wright games, Elite Beat Agents, Hotel Dusk, Nintendogs, Professor Layton--these are all amazing games that don't fit into your typical 'genres'. I've had EBA going on 2 years, and I STILL have two entire difficulty levels to unlock!

Welcome to my world. I understand that you have a ticket back to fun land, but while your hear you should take a look around. Of course as the years go by you will be visiting this stop more often until you feel it's time to take up residence. I of course often take the new bus Wii or DS back to VG fun land often.

Exactly as you have said it's the same game over and over again. 26 years of VG gaming here. I tend to play games until I understand them. Then drop out. The game has to be really spectaculary good(Lost Winds) or just be a classic(Pool).  You will find some games that provide new experiences to becoming more important. Driving with a steering wheel, playing a guitar with a toy. Once you have mastered one button mashing game, the skill carries over.

Anyways I am sure you won't enjoy your stay. I am off to catch the Wii out of this dulls ville. I'm sure the PS360 line will be coming soon enough out of here.

:P

one thing i would do is add super mario galaxy to that list. its very refreshingly fun

Why not try some of the smaller "back to basics" and cheaper games like Braid/Castle Crashers/Geometry wars etc for the Xbox 360 or some good PSN game or some good Wiiware games etc.

Variety is the spice of life and perhaps you just need to pick fewer/better titles because thats how I got into a rut myself by buying too many games without vetting them first to prevent me from playing too much average - same old type crap.

I don't think games are getting boring...

There is a high shovelware ratio though...

I felt that way many years ago, before the launch of the Gamecube. But now I'm happy with the Wii and DS, at least they offer something different.

What console(s) do you own?
