  when I'm renting SP games, I sometimes start to wish games were shorter so that I could be done with them and move on to the next one.
  
  Now when it comes to other types of SP games that I buy, notably RPGs and games that have co-op through the SP campaign, I'll gladly put 100 hours into them.
