I like games w. good replay value w. an exception of pokemon

the length of the current pokemon games are the lenght i like games to be

smg is really long though
but it is stilllllll fun

It doesn't really matter to me in general terms. I dislike when reviewers judge a game base on the long value. Just play the game and enjoy it. That's what I do, I pick a game base on gameplay. If I like it, I will enjoy it and not complain about the long value, but I will be looking forward to some kind of expansion or sequel to the game.

"Do you like to play games for hours on end? Or do you prefer a title that you can play for a few minutes at a time?"

Both kind of games. Actually it depends if i have time to do it, but some times those short stints with like Galactic Civilizations II/Civilization IV, will go for hours without noticing it (I don't think that i'm alone with this situation)

"The real question should be: do you prefer long-session games or short-session? That is, do you prefer games that you only need to play 30 minutes at a time, or games that really are played better for 2+ hours at any sitting? "

I like my stints with NSMB short, going couple levels at time to playing half a day games like JA2:CE

agree 100%.  Gaming life changes a bit with job, wife, and kids to look after!
