I have a short attention span when it comes to games, and it's unusual for me to play a game longer than an hour per sitting, unless it's the best thing since sliced bread. I don't do marathon gaming sessions on the weekend, and I've only got a few hours each night during the week to fit TV, internet and gaming. Plus, if I sit on the couch too long, the cat starts pestering me to come play with him. The length needs to strike a balance so that it's not so long that I'll be playing it for months on end, but at the same time, long enough that I feel I've gotten my money's worth.
Jam it back in, in the dark.  |

There's something to be said for the quick fix of downloadable games (XBLA, etc). Much like I used to play a few rounds of solitaire before writing a term paper, I often play a round or two of Geometry Wars or something similar before starting the meatier DVD game in my drive. The convenience of not having to get up off the couch to change a game cannot be overstated.
There's nowhere I can't reach. |
