I don't think they should be advertising the 4-6 hours of gameplay so much. Who knows how long it'll actually take people to play? Maybe they're doing that to set expectations (in other words, this is NOT a full-length game) but it sounds very short, when in actuallity the experience may not feel short at all.

I suppose the first game will be the test - people who pay $20 for it will be able to say if it was worth the money and decide if they want to pay the same amount for the next installment.

I thought the Gamespot article was a bit misleading, though, in the part that SoccerDude quoted. I never got the impression that Telltale's going to sit around and guage player reaction before they decide if they want to make a second installment or not. My understanding is that as soon as Bone #1 is out the door, work starts on Bone #2, with the goal of getting it out early next year.
