I think it's because your not playing games right.......
Games are ALOT longer now than they were.
Call of Duty 4 might be 10hrs, but how long was Doom? I think, if I played it all the way through, it might of been 7-8hrs.
Mass Effect is much longer than 15hrs if you actually pay attention to the story, and enjoy the game. I'm 70+hrs into mine, and it's still fresh.
Oblivion is 100+hrs for just the vanilla game. SI + Expansions add another 50hrs.
So there are plenty of great, long, single player games. The issue is that your conceptions of what makes Single Player long are rather weak. Goldeneye wasn't very long - most levels were 10-20 minutes long, and there were 24 levels.
Back from the dead, I'm afraid.
