Xbox 360 Game Depression

So today I booted up my Xbox and looked at my game rack filled head-to-toe with video games, but none of them appealed to me, and so I just sat in my chair staring at them and trying to get myself in the mood to play one, but I just couldn't! Have you guys ever experienced that? Jeez, I cant remember the last time I've been completley addicted to an Xbox game that I couldn't get off,( the last time was probably Gears 2 back in November)and man do I crave for that feeling right now. Its just seems that the 360's going through a Game depression period right now, and there arent many games to look forward to this year other than COD MW2.

Yes, lately i've been in a gaming rut as well. I have plenty of xbox 360 games that I haven't even touched yet because my brother bought them, and i recently got RE5 as well. I can't choose one game to play, because usually it feels like i have better things to do, when really. all i do is sit on my computer when i'm bored doing nothing and gaming actually is more productive than that. However, when I do manage to get up and turn on my xbox with a game...I cannot last longer than two hours before I get bored and eventually quit. I do have a craving for games but i'm never in to them anymore. Maybe it's just the list of games 360 has to offer...

I know what you mean, I don't have a very wide selection of games and I'm really getting bored of all of them

november whoooa way back when. lol no I still love my 360 help to have 40 games and not to trade in I got atleast 15 of them I haven't been able to get around to playing them. You got to admit through sept to about mid december there was alot of good games coming out.

The new Chronicles of Riddick game just came out last week get that.

I felt that way too, but I've recently become re-addicted to GoW2 online. :)

L4D DLC comes out this month I think,not much tell after the first week of May when a few more games come out.

If your stuck for choice at the moment concerning your 360, get your original xbox back out of it's box and play through a game that you haven't played for years.. you may be suprised how refreshing it can be !

I am in a Xbox 360 Depressoin. Mine broke and with no warranty i am saving for an arcade to slap my HDD on. I only wish i could feel bored of my xbox because then i would have one.:cry:

I'm not getting bored with any of my games. I still have quite a few to finish as well.

I've been in your situation before. I usually just say screw it and read a book or do something else when no game interests me at the moment. I don't have that problem now though. I have plenty of games to play :D

I actually love TF2 and enjoy playing it all the time but playing any of my other games gets boring. I guess once i grow tired of TF2 i'll be uot of my "rut."

Nope, not me. I love my Street Fighter 4 (even though the marchmaking is horrible)!!sourcerah

yeah I know what you mean, sometimes I just stare at my collection of games trying to find something good to play. RPGs can sometime do that to me especially if it has a long story

yeah i havent been playing it lately, and probably wont until Prototype comes out.

After I got off my 300+ hour Fallout 3 High I just can't seem to get into any games any more. I actually have been playing Rome Total War (over 4 years old) more than my giant stack of almost new 360 games.

Sometimes. I'm never bored with most of my games though, but a couple. I tried playing Kameo one time and just....meh

Lately, I've really gotten back into PC gaming, and I've been disrespecting my Xbox 360. I think the issue, for me at least, is that the only two games out there that I am ever really interested in playing that aren't available (and often superior) on the pc are Halo 3 and Gears of War 2, both of them which I think I got tired of after playing them for hours on end for months when they were released.

When I've been at my friends' house, we can't decide what to play. Because of the economy right now, the video game market is slowly dying. I think that even when we get out of this "crisis," the video gaming market will not increase. I'm sure it's happening all around right now because no new and exciting games are coming out lately. Gears of War 2 was the last really huge one, I think.

Well at least you guys have your 360's, my 360 just red ring for the thrid time so im really bored, but anyway just pop in some Halo 3 or CoD that always does it for me, before i know it 4 hours will pass and im non scoping fools.

I felt the same way before but I managed to solve it. Imo, the best solution to that is you should find an alternative hobby that you really like ( does not mean you must give up gaming) so whenever you get bored of gaming you can have another hobby to do.

I get that sometimes. Mostly during these spring/summer times for some odd reason. I love Rock Band and sometimes play it non-stop, but sometimes it's like "Why do I enjoy this again?" Latley I started what I did last year. Get a nice premium deal from my local rental store ($40 for 3 items (2 games Max. Leftover must be movie. Or 2 movies, one game. Or 3 movies. And get to keep them for as long as I want, and rent as much as I would like. I could get something new everyday if I wanted to.) Anyway, last week I did a movie (Wanted) and rented Guitar Hero Metallica and Resident Evil 5. Though with my friend, beat it in 2 days including unlocking the gatling gun. Now this week I'm doing Tropic Thunder, Quantom of Solace game, and Fable II.

The music games are the only ones that get me attached. I can sometimes just force myself to play Call of Duty, but stop after one or two games.

Go back to an old system like SNES, PS1, heck even PS2, or try another current gen system like Wii or PS3, lots of great games for all of these systems, if you find your running out of 360 games to play then maybe it's time to expand your horizons and pick up a new system so that enough games will be coming out to satisfy your gaming needs. :)death919

Ya i get that sometimes but most of the time when i dont feel like playing my xbox i just take a look at my wii and its collection and just like that i feel like playing xbox:P

I know how that feels, until I saw all the games I did not ghave on my Xbox360 that were essential.

Remember there is Xbox Originals, Xbox Live Arcade, Downloadable game add-ons.

Also, check my recomended games list.

There are a lot of good games that people miss, such as The Orange Box, Castle Crashers, Burnout Paradise, and Perfect Dark Zero.

I guess that's a good thing about getting a 360 late, I have so many games to catch up on.
Just wait until E3 and hope that there are some big announcements.

i found pretty much the exact same thing walking into stores looking for games and not bieng able to find anything to buy and with gaming as just about all i do with my free time and spend disposable income on its a prob- also a great time for a dev to bring out a great game as it would sell sh*tloads. prob has something to do with the economy as well, then theres the argumnent that the games industry is immune to these sor...

I just get a new game or some new dlc every month or so and that usually keeps me interested. Sometimes its good to take a break from 360 for a while too. Then after several days without playing it you are craving to play it again.
