Seriously dude, you are not alone. I feel a little bored as it looks like the current new games just doesn't seem right. I will be lying if I said I enjoyed Neverwinter Nights 2. Oblivion? damn I don't even want to talk about it. The last games that I enjoyed the most is Baldur's Gate II and that was like 6 years ago. All this years I can't really say that I enjoyed playing a game as I used to and I'm 27. I started playing Ultima IV when I was in grade school and that was the game that gets me totally hooked into RPG. At the same year, I was also introduced to pen and paper AD&D. D&D and Ultima is like my lifeline to RPG even when the gold box AD&D games were purely hack and slash.
Not interested in new games or such doesn't make me feel old. I mean, as long as it has a good gameplay, it will remain a classic even when our generation fades out and Ultima is not as accessible anymore thanks to the internet. You know what really makes me feel old? Its the disappearance of gamebooks (a little OT here, sorry). I basically grew up with that.
The only games that are getting better and better these days are the FPS games. Just have a look at DOOM 3, Half-life 2, and the future game Crysis with the DX10.
