If my original post didn't reveal my age, I am 30.

Same boat as you, age included.

Nothing really interest me anymore, well except a child hood board game I played that someone made into a PC game, in which I've been having a little bit of fun in. Star Trek: Starship Tacitcal Combat Simulator.

all i seem to want to play lately is online games where i get to interact with other people but those are limited to whats out there and whats good. i don't get much interaction with people so i think thats why i like the online games more.

I did play Red Orchestra for a good while but now I just can't seem to get myself to fire up the game and give it another go.

Though I do take back a little what I said on, "nothing interest me". As you pointed out Wii, which I had forgotten about, does interest me. Though I'll wait for the games first, but the new interaction with the games do prove interesting. :)

heh I've felt this way for a long time now and I'm only 23. Gaming for me is not a consistent hobby but rather something I do when there is a title out that interests me. These days very few newer games catch my attention. The last game I actually really liked was Dreamfall, and before that maybe KOTOR 1. I've played some classics on various systems but then there are only so many classics that fit my liking. Some console RPGs are good but they are way too time consuming for me. However I've come to realize that what I really liked in my favorite games were the stories, and novels have better stories - still though, the combined sensory immersiveness from games makes for a quite different experience.
