Heavenly Sword is pretty damn short!

This whole idea about how games are getting shorter is pretty funny to me. I'm sure some of you used to play games a while back when every game was max like 5 hours on consoles, where you had to play through the whole game in one go.

To say that this is a new trend developing because of new consoles and how much games cost is to ignore most games in the past. The majority of games are pretty short, people somehow tend to ignore that and continue with this whole 'graphics are killing my games' nonsense...

I agree. The shortness of this game is a consequence of genre, not developmental costs. Obvlion is an excellent high-end, big game that is clearly larger than it's not-so-graphically-impressive predecessors. Long games can be done, even without breaking the bank.
