I completely understand that. I'm still struggling with finishing Dragon Age: Origins. It's the curse of people who like story in their gaming.
But that said, may I make recommendations?
Bastion. May take 12-15 hours, tops. I know people who finished it in 4-5 hours. Amazing story and beyond amazing soundtrack; XBox or PC.
Limbo. Same time frame. Couldn't finish it, not due to lack of time, but because it scared the stuffing out of me. Deeply, deeply atmospheric.
Braid. Haven't played this yet, but it gets great reviews, is a platformer so it's stage-based, and apparently not very long.
Portal. I know people who've finished it in 4 hours, and if you haven't played it, you're missing out on some of the funniest black comedy ever. XBox and PC both. Portal II is much longer, but Portal is self-contained.
