How do you beat your games? In one long session or many small sessions? Ive been trying to do it by long sessions but I never beat my games. Now im trying in 30 minute sessions on each of my games and its working better. Like 30 minutes in batman arkham asylum,30 minutes in blacksite area 51,30 minutes in perfect dark,30 minutes in marathon durandal and so on. Then if I do atleast 5 games at 30 minutesa day like that then in a year I will be playing over 600 hours of single player hours.

When I have free time and I'm in the mood for that game, I'll play it.

Small sessions. I'm married. I work. I have a family. There's no way I'd be able to finish a game in one sitting. Heck. I have a backlog of games I have yet to finish: The Witcher, Sins of a Solar Empire, and Bioshock 1 which I've taken up again. Bioshock got kind of ignored while Crysis and Warhead got replayed four times.

It depends on the games length, if its 8hrs or less then I usually beat it in one sitting. If its longer then 20hrs then it'll take about 3-5 days to beat, at 4-8hrs a day.

usually beat mine with a stick lol... nah on a serious note, I usually buy a game and dont start any other games till I finish what ive started. I dont really like playing two different campaigns in two different games. Ill play, say, Halo online while I play a different campaign of course. Anybody else this way?

I'm the same way, I'll occasionally play some BC2 MP, then switch back to my SP game after a few matches

Rarely complete games in one sitting. I think the only game I've done that with is Splinter Cell: Conviction because I just couldn't put it down.

Usually I play the game for an hour or so to get used to the controls/gameplay, but then I'll get bored and play another game. I'll come back to continue the game a few days later. Some games, like RPGs, will take up sessions of 4 hours or more at a time each day until I complete it.

Yea thats exactly like me pal, although I just realised that I'm always playing a seperate single player on either of my handhelds. Funny that :)

Such a win.

But... I usually don't time anything. I just play until I get tired of playing them. :oops:

I usually took a few days up to one week for shorter games, and maybe half a month to one full month to complete a long game. I like to take things slowly and clock in short sessions for each games. Mostly 1-2 hours per games.

I try to do games in intervals so that I don't rush through the campaign.
