Try Myth II. it's an oldie but a goodie and has a mostly adult gaming community that continue to support it with updates. As for new games, I'm with you on their becoming unappealing. (except for Portal and Halo 3's forge)

COD 4 is pretty much on the level...im trying to pick up that mario galaxy too...Cheesy comments in games usually don't add to the experience, and get old quick, so I agree with you on that point...otherwise, relax - at least u have time to play games

man, this was the best "childish temper-tantrum thrown by a self pronounced adult all in the name of video games" ever!

this was posed on NT a while ago. I vowed to beat it, got to the 16th level then forgot about it. Great game, addictive and stuff.

I was ranting onto my wife in the very same way a couple of days ago, although to her credit she wasnt really listening, just not talking about anything herself while I was talking..
Almost all the the games Ive ever seen anyone play are 'childish', I think someone on here took offence to me saying that here a few weeks ago, and by childish I mean they're just technological ways of playing the games that prepubscent and teenage boys played before there were video games - fighting sims, 'fantasy' quests with liquid rule structures and mythical/vaguely theological backstories, or same-as-life driving games.
Im sure there are some other exceptions, sims/2nd life type ideas that actually use the medium in a new way, but they themselves are just 'playing house'...
There just aren't that many new ideas for actual gameplay that deviate from these basic themes, its really a case of 'seen 10, seen-them-all', so I for one have never been interested in even picking up a controller to play.
My first computer was a ZX81, that had just shy of 1k of ram, slightly less than 1 page of code, and if anyone can find anything thats as remotely fun as trying to squeeze something like gameplay out of that, I've yet to find it.
Oh the fun I had steering the inverse V around the sets of semi-colons before an 'out of memory 4/1' error informed me I had completed the course. SSDD.

I have found it hard to finish games lately, I usually get over them after 1hr. of play, Its the same shit over and over.

I think it's essentially because theres so little creatively that you have to put into these things..
They are basically time-wasters, day-fillers..
Oh the utterly endless hours you can spend with Cubase and a few nice plug-ins, crank it right up, just exploring the infinate realms of sound and emotions, real discovery, new worlds, self-awareness, heightened states all await those willing to step outside the padestrian and reptilian programmatical concepts of stimulus-response, flash, points/similar primal hunter/gathering reward tokanage.
Bang it right up, noone can make music that you like better than you can yourself.

To the original poster:
Your right, I hate it too and even when I was 13 I noticed crap like that. Now Im just a bitter, angry man.To the bar!

I think games are in a transition stage but I do think they are getting better. I'm finding more and more that games are invoking emotion in me. Many times over I felt guilt, or regret when playing mass effect. Most of the time it was mindless fun, but I think that games will eventually be able to hold my emotion attention through the entirety of the plot.

I really enjoyed playing Metroid Corruption. I know the theme sounds similar to a lot of other games, but artwork is absolutely amazing, the stories about the different races are actually fun to read, and the controls are awesome once you get used to them.
