Well, I suppose it had to happen one day, I just never expected it to happen in the fashion it did.  I am losing interest in games...
 
It's partly because following a recent trip to a distant friends house and sitting building Star Wars Lego for a couple of hours - I decided Lego was a lot of fun...
 
I've actually started designing and building my own custom Lego set, which while it might seem frivolous, is a technically challenging and interesting activity - if you're going order it as a set, you don't just need it to look good, you want it to be solid when completed and stable and have an accessible interior.  I'm blogging about the experience in my Lego Design by me blog now...
 
I don't think it's really just that though, I think it's partly having been on holiday and spent some time away from gaming, and spending more time with my wife and kids.  Going back to gaming after a break particularly to the games I have been playing lately just isn't that much fun, in fact it's more annoying than fun.  I tried to play Duke Nukem Forever for an hour last night, I want to finish it so can get rid of it... It's just not that much fun, it's frustrating, with walk in the park difficulty with occasional random silly challenges... The level design is poor in general, it gives me motion sickness and there are parts of the game which are trying tio re-kindle classic Duke humour but in 2011 are just cringeworthy.... I find it really hard to motivate myself to finish it.  
 
Then there's my other current game LA Noire, which again, is brilliant in some ways - but just isn't that much fun... The most fun I have at the moment is playing Lego Star Wars the Classic Trilogy with my 4 year old daughter, and it's mainly fun because I'm playing co-op with my daughter.
 
I still want to play Gears 3 at some point, I'm burned out of music games, most other games I'm fairly bored of... I think Gears 3 will be the last chance saloon for my XBOX 360 playing, and if it doesn't live up to my increasingly high expectations - I'll be allowing the 360 to gather dust, while doing more adult activities such as gardening, cleaning cars and sorting through paper work (I never thought it would happen, not even 3 months ago.) and then sitting down at night with a cup of tea to build a Lego set....
