How quickly does a game have to hook you before you put it away?

It depends on the type of game for me also, and in general, how much the game and its mechanics are interesting. I've played FFX for about 3-4 hours before giving up on its linearity, but other games have me hooked from minute 1. In general, though, I'll give it 1-2 hours to hook me in.
