Not even playing them necessarily, but just reading about them and looking at screen shots or reviews is more appealing than trying something modern like Oblivion. That carries over into all aspects of entertainment for me...I watch more reruns and cable/on demand movies than I do new movies or shows. Same with music, I like looking up and listening to all the stuff that influenced my favorite bands rather than listen to them (who are defunct for the most part themselves). Its not that theres no good new music, its just that it doesn't hold my interest.

And I thought I was the only one that did this
Is it them or is it us? Are we trying to hold on to the glory days of old or is it really that bad right now?
It's weird actually I don't really have that passion anymore for modern games, don't get me wrong, I can still fall for the hype just like anyone else, heck right now I am excited about Bioshock, Supreme Commander, Crysis and Hellgate: London (although I doubt my PC will be able to handle those future games), but I just have that feeling that even if were to get them, I couldn't be bothered to actually play them, well maybe thats not fair to Bioshock at least, it's apparently got a lot of the guys from the old SS2 team and Thief teams working on it, so there is hope.
I seem to nowdays go more for the quick fix type of games or games of old that I am familar with. Why ? I can't give a definite answer. As I said in my first post, perhaps I am just getting older, perhaps its other responsibilities, perhaps time is more of a factor now or perhaps its the industry that has opted for visuals over substance. Heck some days I feel that if gaming where to die, I would survive ... it's a crazy thought, I know.
