The only games I can play for long periods of time is Cod4, Champ Manager 5 or 2008 and 2007 on the PSP. Oh and Kotor II but they're no where near 300 hours...
You think playing a game for 20-40 hours represents good value? You're playing the wrong kind of game, pal. You need to be playing sports games, where people bleed their annually-released games dry.
EA Sports' Dave Littman - producer on NHL at EA Canada - has told us that "The average EA SPORTS gamer spends 200 to 300 hours playing their favorite sports game each year". That figure is a combination of both online and offline play. And is for just one game.
Can't think of too many games outside of WoW, Call of Duty 4 or Halo 3 where we'd be looking at figures like that. And those are one-off games, not regular, annual occurrences.
Sounds absolutely bonkers, I know, but as someone who probably sinks 50-100 hours or so into FIFA each year (amidst having to play pretty much everything else as well), it also sounds entirely plausible. It might be a stretch saying the "average" gamer spends that long, but with many sports games fans picking up one game and one game only (they're a Madden guy, or an NBA guy, etc), then playing that game for nearly 12 months, there'd still be a sizeable number of people out there racking up hundreds of hours on a single game.

I've only played wow such a long time. ^^
Oh and my second is pokemon gold for the gbc i've played it for 160 hours. XD
300 hours only?I have spend more than 3000 hours on sensible soccer and king of fighters
300 hours, 3000 hours.. Pha.. i must have done 5000 hours on Super Mario 3.
I know I played 350 hours on Dragon Warrior Monsters 2 Cobi's Journey for GBC.
Ha, much respect to kojiro7.
I've clocked that time alone in King of Fighters 98, I'VE BEEN PLAYING IT SINCE 1998!!
Let's not forget Street Fighter either.
Let's see a yearly sports game beat 10 years play time.
Viva arcade fighters! Viva!
split between three main saves, i've spent over 500 hours on oblivion
Between Monster Hunter Freedom 2 and Unite (throw 2nd G in there since I converted the save from JP to US) I have 1500+ hours, and still going.
20-40 hours isn't too bad a value, but it's not great. That's something I'd expect from a decent story-driven game. Seeing as I can watch someone play through the SP games of Killzone 2 or Haze in a matter of a few hours or so, I'm not sure of the value of those for myself, especially since I often don't play games online.
I still recall playing Lunar 2 for 50+ hours, and Skies of Arcadia for around the same amount of time when they were new. I still play those from time to time, so I'm sure that adds hours to the value.
I bet people who play WoW laugh at these figures lol
