Quote:gaming I can't help to think that I suck more and more these days playing games.
Either the games is getting harder and smarter or I'm starting to get old and loosing the edge.
Are you playing obsessively almost 24/7? No? Ok then, well that's your problem. You forget how much time you invested into this stuff as a kid, the more you play a game the better you get at it, and kids get really into it. You are not "losing your edge", you're just playing less than when you were a young lad.
I took an almost two year break from playing FPS until I got TF2. Do you have any idea how bad I was for the first month?

Perhaps the modern game design methods have "corrupted" you. Modern games are designed to have massive market/audience appeal, they are designed to be extremely casual and eliminate any "frustrations" that come with a challenge. They get away with this by using art/story and other interesting things to pull you in without the need for a challenge. You may have become so used to this that now you can't stand to play your games any other way.
