I don’t think most of us realize how much time we spend reading things these days. Because we’re not reading a proper book or magazine when perusing that 3,000 word video game review on that blog we visit every day we don’t think about it.

As an adult over-burdened with responsibilities not left with a huge amount of time or “fun money” to spend on games it’s often important to me to know about how long a game will take to finish. In the past simply Googling “[name of game] hours” sufficed in finding a review where they mentioned the approximate length of the game. Now there’s a web site that acts as a one-stop source of that specific information, HowLongToBeat.com. Hit the jump to find out more about what the site has to offer. (more…)
