No.
I had fun playing Dead Rising.
I had fun playing Condenmed.
I had fun playing the Orange Box.
I could go on forever. Just because Halo 3 came out doesn't mean you have to go all "end of fun gaming forever!!" on us. Cheer up.

well I used to see what you meant, but there are fun games, and the games didn't change ur just harder to please, try playing mario again, that game made me want to break things, it's mostly memorization
I don't know what you're on about, really..
Call of Duty 4 is fun.
Uncharted: Drake's Fortune is fun.
Ratchet and Clank: Tooks of Destruction is fun.
Hell, even Bomberman on Xbox Live is fun~!
Maybe, just maybe, the fun is still there. Maybe you just got boring.

I think your point is relevant if you spin it a little bit. I think modern (loosely defined as 2000 onward) games have a way of being not so much a fun diversion as an 'experience'.
As gaming becomes big business, companies try to hype a game as a 'not to miss experience' much like a studio in the film business might. So in the midst of this hype with trailers cut like a Hollywood thriller, the players expectations are this game will not only be fun, it will be a 'not to miss experience'. Players are perhaps starting to look at things through a different set of eyes coming into a game, and perhaps this is changing the experience from purely 'fun' to one of hoping the game can fill the expectations of being a 'not to miss experience'.
Take Halo 3 for example. Nobody said "I'm going to get this game because I want to have some fun". Fun just don't sell Master Chief helmets. People were looking at this game as the last of a saga, something they just could not miss. So the game went from something fun to something people were looking to, to provide the 'not to miss experience'.
Wait. What in blazes am I talking about? Of course games are still fun!

Well games have started to become repetitive especially FPS's with their tactical combat and striving for the "Real Experience", not that I get much fun out of blood and guts unlike some other people I find it strange how people pay hundreds for the highest detail of blood and gore. "Oh those few extra polygons on that guys torso corpse is fantastic, and I love how the blood shines and reflects the light with real-time reflections!" common example of the current gaming industries belief, but there are still some other fun games out there, I find games like Zelda and the latest Mario game "Super Mario Galaxy" is very fun to play, so I just say look out for some different types of games instead of just Action/Combat and tactical FPS's and you will find something you like.
