"The solution to short games is..."

... don't play them through in one sitting. It amazes me the amount of people that complain they finished a game in a weekend, surely that's your own fault? If you sit down and play the game for seven hours straight, you're bound to ruin it.

Play games like me - play maybe one or two hours at a time, put it down and come back to it another time. It lasts longer and keeps the experience fresh. I still haven't completed Onimusha, ZOE or Devil May Cry and they are all 'short' games. Monkeys.

But if it's crap...it's crap - meaning it's not good, which means youd on't like it!

Am i right...?

Exactly Conker was way too short because it was so compelling to complete! But mulitplayer that is the key to length Conker lasted 3 months + for me due to the multiplayer i still play it on and off now (and i got it 10 months ago).

Goldeneye and Perfect Dark prime examples!

I only play games for ages if it's really good, never when it's crap.

Crap, short games suck!

Take Super Metroid or Zelda Ocarina of Time for example...

I have the habit of sitting down with a game for hours on end until it is done.

I did this recently with a copy (rented copy thank god) of james Bond AUF and completed it in one night (on easy mode).... after that I lost interest....

Babaaaaa

Actually, I could play GTA3 for months. Trouble is when I hit the outside world I might get confused.

must depart. C ya later.

Just don't sit in front of a tele for hours on end. It's bad for your eyes, posture and street cred.
