TIPS FROM THE GAMING GODDESS

I sunk $50 into King Kong and finished it in one day. I feel ripped off! Surely there are better games for my money out there, right?

Games are like movies: Most cost the same whether you're blowing a rib through your 97th Old School screening or experiencing the pain of Boat Trip for the first time. Here's a list of games you can hole up with for months on end.
Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is epic with more than 80 hours of game play and three massive cities to explore. While navigating an intricate plot in search of filial vengence, you must look after little things, such as eating, which affects your weight. And nothing is more gangsta than being too plump to throw a punch (rest in peace, Biggie).
If you're a racing fan, both Gran Turismo 4 for the PS2 and Forza Motorsport for Xbox are fine-tuned automotive sims that let armchair grease monkeys tweak and customize cars until their fingers bleed grease.

The best deal, however, is online gaming. Battlefield 2 on the PC, for example, is a game of modern warefare in which you and 63 pals can work out old grievances. With lead. And should shooting friends ever grow old, you can always run them over in a tank. Not a fan of realism? Quake 4, Unreal Tournament 2004 and Halo 2 deliver the same thrills, but in space-age packaging.
Now, here are some less-than-lengthy ones to watch out for: God of War is an excellent game that clocks in at a measly 10 hours. Lego: Star Wars can be finished in less time than it takes to watch the film prequels. And Condemned: Criminal Origins offer a mere eight hours of gritty hobo-extermination, which simply isn't enough dead hobos.
