i put my answers in the poll above. i don't like the question "How many hours do you generally spend on a single player game", because generally single player games are too short (and if they're not but repetitive enough that you want it to be over in under 10 hours, i'd consider that a very weak game). surely the answer relies heavily on the game itself and not the gamer?

i put down 10-20 hours, because i'd normally play through a game twice if it's that short, and i'd say 10-20 is ideal if it can keep you interested that long.

generally i don't cheat.
