Being long doesn't necessarily mean they aren't bad for attention spans. I recall seeing a reviewer complain about a story driven game recently where the characters were constantly restating plot points to make sure you didn't forget. And the more important thing in games than narrative, I think, is how much the gameplay itself makes you think long term (or not), and the pace of things. Do you have to keep a goal/strategy in mind or just constantly react to what's immediately in front of you?
