Don't bother with Unreal Tournament 3. It looks better but all the players are in 2004. Not to mention they stripped a lot of features and killed the feel (arena games just 'feel' right and UT3 doesn't).
Mount & Blade is amazing. I would easily put it at the top of any list for addictive games because of how good it feels and the thrill of combat. Not to mention mods galore for the original and some being developed for the expansion. Look up youtube videos to see what I mean (Warband looks better so check that out). Forgot to mention Warband improves on the original in every way and is stand alone so if you get Mount & Blade then buy the expansion only.

Yeah I was thinking that '04 would be better than 3.
Just Cause 2 is a really good single player game with good graphics. I haven't beaten it yet but the way it's been going it should take well over 30 hours to fully complete the game. Not to mention it's just plain fun roaming around causing mayhem. If you're a fan of mercenaries definately check it out.
Dragon Age, The Witcher, Mass Effect 2 biggest_loser
this.....might want to add neverwinter nights diamond and 2 gold .......or baldur's gate 1 and 2......ummmm.....fallout 3 and the oblivion come to mind as well.....ur pretty much looking for rpgs tho....not much else lasts as long single player
Look no further than Fallout 3. If you really take your time and explore (which is actually worth it in this game), the main quest alone will take you 60+ hours. I can't even imagine how long it would take to complete all the side quests. And after all that, then you can go back and replay the game as good/evil, depending on what you chose the first time around. The game is just a masterpiece of truly epic proportions. Definitely not to be missed.
Define good graphics. A game from 2003 looks good to me so keep that in mind but try:
Mount & Blade: Warband
Medieval II: Total War
Arma 2
Unreal Tournament 2004 (I'm at 50 hours with only bots)
Dragon Age

Let me put it to you this way. I only purchased UT3 for a complete conversion mod called Renegade X. The actual game was stripped of everything that made UT2K4 so great.
You should try Venetica. It's an action RPG with a great story to it. Campaign takes about 30-40 hours if you do side quests. The combat is a lot of fun and has room for different approaches and quick strategies. The environments are well done and the game has a lot of places to explore. Skills are varied and well done. It won best German game but hasn't gotten a lot of reviews on major sites in the US, despite being out in English already. This is one of the few games lately, that have held my attention all the way to the end. Have fun!
:lol: Not really sure why this is funny given that everyone i know that plays MW2 has put in at least 100 hours into that game... You must be on the "I hate MW2 because its Activision" bandwagon huh?

It's funny because the TC asked for single-player games, and the length of MW2's campaign in this context is, well, laughable.

MW2 single player is 4 to 5 hrs... the OP asked for a 30+ hr game... get the joke?
Stalker Games ( especially shadow of Chernobyl ) If you do a fair amount of sidemissions and a bit of exploration expect about 30-35 hours Also alot of RTS games are quite time consuming ( for instnance it can easilly take you 10-15 hours to finish a medium size map with 6-8 players in sins of a solar empire ) Finally The Witcher and Dragon Age imo are the best WRPG's this gen and easilly offer 60-70 hours of gameplay ( Dragon age offers more but imo the witcher is the better game) Oh i also recommend Kings Bounty the best Turn based Rpg that can easilly last 50 or more hours

yeah but there is the Spec-ops mode which you can play alone, that Add 20 hours, so 10+20 = 30 hours :D
Good graphics?... 30+ hours? Ugh... That one is hard... Most of the oldschool games have 30+ hours of single player game play. Now days the most common thing is 3-15hours... You know Bling bling graphics are important :D

This. Even though it crashed every 5 minutes (almost literaly), I had a lot of fun with Fallout 3. I've actually spent hours just roaming the wastes in that game.
