What's the longest game you've played, likewise, what is the shortest?

This of course excludes multiplayer.

Longest- Dragon Age: Origins (90 fucking hours on ONE playthrough, if you can believe it)
Shortest- Does Portal count? That or Medal of Honor (2010).

Quite possibly Persona 3 and Persona 4 are the longest. In-game, you are performing the actions of your character for like a YEAR. Out-of-game, that still adds up to alot of hours.

The shortest? Most of my Atari games. Yes, I am that old. I have games that are exceedingly low-tech and last for about a couple minutes. Do I win?

Ah the cue for so many penis jokes.
Longest would be KOTOR 1 or 2, both clocked about 50+ hours if I remember correctly.
I'm not sure what the shortest is, The cod series takes a short time, I remember beating cod4 really quickly.
Then again Halo Reach seemed to take about 10 minutes, and I don't recall Arkham asylum lasting too long either.

Colour me undecided on that one.

Longest: The Longest Journey, duh!(actually, Heroes III or Jagged Alliance 2, I think)
Shortest: ...Portal, as far as I remember. Or some flash game my mind deleted over the years.

If we are talking full priced games I'd say:

Longest- Super Mario Galaxy 2 (all stars)


Shortest- CoD (random sequel name, these campaigns are a kick in the nutsack for my wallet)

To put some numbers on Portal (given that it's been mentioned as shortest a few times), I played it through once on XBox which took a few hours, second time I played through on PC Steam tells me I took 72 minutes. That was knowing what I was doing but not making any particular attempt at a speed run.

Longest is more difficult, Elite: Frontier, and Civ 2 have taken 100s of hours over the past decade or so, but Fallout 3 took 120 hours from one playthrough.

Tales of Symphonia, despite being one of the greatest games I have played since 2004, was pretty damn long if you took the time to really do everything (which I didn't).

Shortest - Either Portal or Super Mario Bro on the DS, that was ciminally short.

Longest - Oblevion probably only counting the campain, otherwise Age of Mythology if you include skirmishs aswell.

I spent 100 hours on one playthrough of Tales of Vesperia (partially my fault, got addicted to grinding), with Persona 3: Portable being a close second at about 80.

Shortest is probably Portal with.. four hours? Something like that, anyway.

Shortest, Super Mario 3, about 45 minutes.
Longest, Fallout 3, about 150 hours (that's doing quite a large portion of the game content)

Counting bonus content - Final Fantasy 12. Fuck Yiazmat. FUCK. YIAZMAT.
Not counting bonus content - I'd say Morrowind.
Shortest - Portal
