I've been in a bit of an MMO funk lately. Nothing is really sparking my interest, and the tropes of the genre are grating at me. This is what some call Burnout, but it is what I call Going Back To WoW.
Ethic mentioned on the Kill Ten Rats Twitter feed that he sat down at his computer the other day and just stared at the screen, completely uncompelled to play any of his MMOs. I know that feeling, I'm going through it now. In fact, the only reason I've even bother with World of Warcraft over the last few weeks is because I want something to do while my fiancé plays God of War on the PS3.
I've contemplated trying out new games or going back to games I've played before to spice things up, but then I realize that just won't do it for me. I need a real break from MMOs for a bit.
As such, I've been starting in on some console games. I've been tearing through Ballad of Gay Tony, popping in and out of Borderlands, and just started in on Ratchet and Clank: Tools of Destruction. Hell, even watching my man play through God of War is more exciting than the idea of grinding levels in an MMO right now.
I'm certainly not done with MMOs, but this is definitely my time to get back into the console game or a bit. So what are the good games I've missed the past year or so? I'll pass on RPGs for the most part, I'm looking for a shift away from what I've been playing, not just a different perspective.

I've been in a more console-oriented mood these past few days. I really want a good console RPG, but can't justify the time on one while my WoW Priest needs outfitting and school's in. The summer, though, I keep telling myself is the time to get back into the console RPGs I miss so badly.
Trust me. Don't force it. I for example have been all over the map in the MMO field...yet just got off a stint of single player games.
Relax a bit, maybe stick to watching your man play God of War, and let the MMO's rest.
You will be happy in the end.
