Weekend Confirmed Episode 52
by Garnett Lee, Mar 18, 2011 11:00am PDTWeekend Confirmed celebrates our one year anniversary in style with your help, great games, and special guest James Stevenson, senior community manager for Insomniac Games. He joins the two Jeffs and Garnett for a massive show that wastes no time getting started in Whatcha' Been Playin? with games like Dragon Age 2, Homefront, Ghost of Sparta, and Tera to name a few. The Warning this week comes entirely from listener submitted questions and topics and it fuels some spirited discussions. And the news in the Front Page covers info on the impact of the Tohoku earthquake on the video game industry, February NPD sales figures, a couple of game announcements, and more.

So my question has to do with Homefront, Jeff indicated that it was a very very short game, and from what it sounded like it seems natural to ask, was a game so short worth $60?
Obviously some games can't be measured in their length, Portal in my opinion is worth much more than $60 because of a wonderful experience you can't get anywhere else. So what do you think?

Limbo was $15 and I've gotten about 4 hours of enjoyment out of it. (My play through and a friend's who played it at my house.) In my mind this was a good purchase. Rate = 3.75/hour
Battlefield 2: $60 got about 70 hours out of it. Less than a dollar an hour.... sooo worth it.
World of Warcraft: My soul + left testicle. However, I did get around 500 hours so let me calculate. Left orb ($500) + soul ($1700)... Ooh $4.40/hour, still worth it.
Joking aside, I know it sounds harsh to put it in terms like this but money matters. This also helps me complete games that I might have otherwise shelved prematurely.
So whats your rate?
