Games are £40 these days
Sometimes less.
And something like this will probably last you 15 or so hours - much more if you play the multiplayer bit.

Precisely my point
I want a game to last about 200-300 hours through about 4 replays to get my attention. The Crysis games are very pretty (and nicely put together) but horrifically short. When you've got the likes of Dark Souls, Skyrim, hell even the new XCom showing that a game can be huge, these episodic shooters just feel like a rip off - Bioshock was good but extend the format, stop just copying it.
(Multiplayer on these 'tech' shooters are also very much an acquired taste... one I grew out of at about Quake 2)

An example of moneys worth
Call of duty black ops 2: Currently at 37p per hour (Still playing daily)
Dark Knight Cinema: £3.20 per hour
Not taking into account that anyone I know can come and play my copy of BO2, where as the cinema is for me and me only, and that I may be be to trade/sell my copy of BO2 and reduce the end cost.

If you're not taking a camcorder in with you then you're a mug.

I wouldn't want to add up all the hours spent on the Call of Duty series
I've been playing since the first (That's COD1, not COD4 to you young-ens), and put it this was I've already logged 118 Hours on BO2 alone.....
That's with a full time job and a family to distract me, I don't sleep much. When I was playing COD1/2 i was dossing about at Sixth form and college!

Is Call of Duty the one all the scum/chavs play online?
...I am so out of touch.

you should be. That and Sim City 2000 (onwards) have deprived me of an awful lot of my non-drinking time. Plus there is the potential that we might learn something.

I only clocked up a couple of hundred
but I had to stop because the mouse stopped being locked to the primary monitor and would go off the screen when scrolling.

Legend of Grimrock from the last HumbleBundle is eating away my time currently.
It's an update of the old grid-based Dungeon Master games, with an editor, so there's lots of (excellent) user content out too...

Have you tried FTL?
One of the best indie games i've every played.
It's surpassed Civ5 in amount of time played now.
