All new console games are worth full price. Length is not a valid determinant of value: many of the best games ever made can be beaten in far less time than you mention, yet you would never have hesitated to pay full price for them. In this gen, there are games even more expensive that can be beaten in less time, yet you would doubtless pay the price for them too.

If you absolutely must pay less, buy used. This won't kill you, make you less of a gamer, or shrink your genitals, but the game maker will still get everything they're entitled to from the copy you buy, and yet you'll still pay less. Everyone wins.



Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
