I've been having that problem w/ most video games of late. I don't know if it's because I'm starting to outgrow video games, or I'm starting to tire of the same old formulas and cliches being rehashed over and over again. Or maybe it's because I don't have as much free time as I used to, and I haven't been giving more modern games enough time to draw my interest and develop, or I haven't had the patience to stick with them.
In any case, I definitely don't play them or enjoy them as much as I used to. Now, I have a tendency to buy them, but not play them, or, increasingly, to not even bother to buy them in the first place because I don't think I'll get around to playing them, or that I'll particularly enjoy the experience even if I do. I'm not quite sure what it is exactly, but I think I would probably classify myself as a thoroughly "jaded gamer" at this point. I don't know - when things devolve to the point where it's the same tired premise and/or gameplay, just with more shaders, polygons, higher res textures, etc. - it's hard to get excited anymore, or at least that's my personal leaning.
