Default What's happening to the gaming industry?

I'm not a big gamer myself at all. In fact the last game I played was Def Jam on the PS2 (which I don't even own). The Last PC game I played was Wormux (just to test it out). And that's all I've played since the beginning of 2008.

It's as if something is missing which I long for... something the old titles used to have.. King's Quest, Flight of the Amazon Queen, Duke Nukem.. etc. etc.

There's really nothing unique about today's games to me. It was Doom back in the 1990's and development on Doom 4 started on the 7th of May 2008. Nothing has changed.. except the graphics, sounds, guns etc. Perhaps a nifty "feature" here and there but that's it. Games don't make me stick infront of my screen the whole day like they used to, they're not intriguing.. just not interesting.

I'm sure I'm not the only person feeling like this, am I? What are your thoughts on this.. please elaborate.

PS: Am not talking about Windows/.Xbox/Playstation/Nintendo/Linux etc. games but games and the gaming industry as a whole.
