Ooooooh yeah. That's what i'm talking about.

While it may be a farcical notion, it feels as if games have lost their charm from the time I got my Game Boy Color to now. There have been games released recently that have riveted my senses and left me in awe, such as The Last of Us, Super Mario Galaxy 2 and Shovel Knight, but on the whole games feel less magical and less captivating. I am aware that this is likely due to the fact that I am not a child anymore and am less enthralled in my 5th iteration of The Legend of Zelda than I was with the first. It is an unfortunate reality that those of us who continue to play games face. Fewer and fewer games capture that magic we long to experience, and there's a sinking feeling every time I realize I've lost interest in the medium completely--albeit that loss is always temporarily.
