I dont know why they arent fun anymore...
I remember enjoying pc games a lot back in the day with old games like Dune2, Doom2, Wolfenstein, Decent, Diablo, FF7...
I think the problem now is that those games have only evolved slightly into newer more eye-appealing games...but the bottom line is that they are basically the same games we've been playing for the longest time.
The older games were fun because they were the frontrunners of their genre and we've never played them before.
Imagine playing a first-person shooter for the first time...or a Real-Time-Strategy...
Now when "new" games are released we already know that we've "been there" and "done that" to an extent.
These are some new games I've tried:
I played Max Payne for 30 min and got sick of it.
Played RTCW and got sick quick.
CivIII was good for one campaign.
Age of EmpiresII was good for two campaigns.
Played Black and White and wanted to shoot myself afterwards.
Wanted to throw-up in the middle of Serious Sam (the worlds are HUGE...made me dizzy)
BOTTOM LINE: these new games aren't offering anything new.
