What do you do to keep gaming fun?

Hey SG, recently games have been losing their charm for me. It may be because im getting older or some other reason. I am having trouble starting a game and getting sucked into it. I no longer am drawn to competitive shooting, story based games are losing their shine.and all of this is discouraging me from buying more games to try. What do you guys to keep being entertained by games? I have tried playing with friends more as opposed to myself and I have also have been facing my backlog but it still isn't quite enough. What should I do to make this fun again?

I know an option is to take a break but I've put so much money into games and my computer I feel I have to keep up with it or else I'll be wasting the money I put into it. I know this type of thinking could be the cause of my problem but I don't know how I'd fix that.

Try a bunch of different genres of games until you find some that you like. Play primarily games in those genres.

If I'm getting bored with my games I usually just download a new PS2 or Gamecube ISO

Gaming's intended to be a fun form of recreation and a source of entertainment, and if it's not fun for you right now, as many have already suggested, think about maybe taking a little break. You can't force fun, and don't worry about the investment in your computer and your game collection; they'll still be there when you get back.

I like that you're already trying to play with friends, as I find that that can kick up the "fun factor" quite a bit. Also, you could try a new genre to see if that clicks with you, or try some coop shooters instead of competitive ones to see if you enjoy that more. If you still can't recapture the joy that games once gave you, take a short break and come back to them when you start craving them. Sometimes absence does indeed make the heart grow fonder. :)
