Forget the game time. You needn't explain, Necro. Us non-shallow people prefer quality hours over quantity hours. If a game is only 7 hours long, and is bad as hell (like say... ICO?) I'm totally choosing it over some boring 30 hour RPG. 'Cause those are 7 hours of awesome. Better than 30 hours of drab.

Some of my favorite games are short and sweet (ICO, God of War, and Beyond Good and Evil top the list)
