Short but sweet games

[Gill Kaiser]

Portal, Braid, Mirror's Edge, Sid Meier's Pirates!

VVVVVV.

Granted, it is rendered somewhat bitter by the dozens of deaths one incurs in that 90 minute playtime.

Great game.

I thought WET was a good game.

Super Smash Bros. it was under an hour, and it is great.

 

[username sucks]

bioshock 1 was awesome, but i only mangaged to get 10 hours from each playthrough, and i only did about 5 complete playthroughs. I usually get at least 50 hours a playthrough for other games and just as many playthroughhs, so i consider bioshock short

Beyond Good And Evil: I'm playing through the HD remake and just playing it from memory it should only last about 6 hours.

Toy soldiers it is just too short.

 

[The_Echo]

Flower was incredibly short, but incredibly worth it.

Cave Story doesn't take very long either, and that's probably my favorite PC game.

 

[Rooster893]

Mirror's Edge. Only 9 chapters, but man, that game was awesome.

 

[Individuo]

The two that immediately spring to my mind are Portal and Braid.

I would say Metro 2033. Looking forward to the sequel, but the railer looked less 'Metro-y' and more 'Call of Duty-y'/

 

[flaviok79]

Braid.

 

[Reincarnatedwolfgod]

portal. i still say it is overrated by fans but still a good game

VVVVVV.

Granted, it is rendered somewhat bitter by the dozens of deaths one incurs in that 90 minute playtime.

yeah it's a pretty good game with an amazing sound track. in fact the sound track is the best part.

DLC Quest is an Xbox live indie game that satirizes DLC and achievements. It's very funny and I finished it in about a half hour I think (I didn't actually time it though). Find it here: http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/DLC-Quest/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d802585509c7

Very much worth the $1 it costs.

 

[Roofstone]

Trine. Very "Storybook". <3 And the music and atmosphere... *Drools*

 

[scorptatious]

Nobody has said Shadow of The Colossus yet...I thought I was on The Escapist, what's going on?!
Seriously, about 8 hours long, and just awesome.

Personally, I think the length of that game is perfect. Not too short, not too long. Just right. Plus there is a bunch of extra stuff to do in that game.

I geniunly liked Kane & Lynch: Dog Days. That's only about 3-5 hours, depending on how easy you are to kill.
