Is it just me?

I have a problem.  That problem is that I'm completely bored with gaming!  I have been a gamer since my parents brought home a Coleco Vision and this is the first time that I am bored with gaming.  Is it because there aren't any good games out there?  No.  It's because every game that comes out seems to be the same thing.  There isn't anything truely groundbreaking and new.  I thought for sure that the Halo 3 beta would get me out of my slump.  After all Halo 2 is what got me heavily playing Xbox live.  Sadly it didn't.  All it was to me was just a glossier version of 2.  Now I understand it's just a beta and not the final version but still, it was a bit of a disappointment.  Everyone in my clan is tellling me to pick up Shadowrun.  Again it doesn't seem to be anything new.  Just rehashing everything thats been tried.  The really sad part is that it doesn't seem like it's going to change.  There absolutly NO games coming out this year that I'm interested in.  I had hoped that the Nintendo Wii would get me out of this.  For a time it had.  The problem that I'm having now with it is it seems to just give a new way to play the same tired old games.  I found myself grabbing my old SNES out of storage and playing that again.  I found that it is really sad that I'm having more fun playing games that are 10 - 15 years old than games that are brand new.  So the question is this, are games in a rut?  Do they need something to come out that really shakes things up?  It happens in the other forms of media.  Whenever movies, or music, or books seem to get boring something brand new which no one has ever seen, or heard, or read comes out and completely shakes things up making all of the previous stuff enjoyable again.  The only problem is, and please tell me if I'm wrong, nothing coming out seems to do this task.  It's all just the same ole RTS, FPS, sports game, racing game, platformer, RPG.  Just prettier.
