I've got exactly the same "issue". A few years younger, I still play games but my girlfriend bought me SimCity 10 days ago, I bought Far Cry on impulse as it was on offer (damn you Steam!) a week later, and I'm bored of them both already, without going overkill on them (have a job, social life etc).
I just think it's growing up, we don't get immersed in the games as much as we used to, and certain things don't excite any more as we've seen them so many times before.
For example, when I was about 12 I was playing Fallout 2 and that at the time just totally dragged me in and I could replay it. Or on the original Xbox I had Jedi Academy and played it online non-stop when xbox live first started. Now-a-days I find it too difficult to get as into the games and skip over bits or do it half assed (constantly having SimCity on highest speed so it flies by, defeating the point).
Or maybe SimCity and FarCry 3 are just crap, who knows.
