The game in question was PS2 spookfest Silent Hill 2, a game I purchased in 2003 but only got around to starting last November thanks to the cajoling of Michelle.
Here's the evidence:
It actually took me about 15 hours to complete as at one point near the start I couldn't find a save point and had to leave the PS2 on for a couple of hours whilst I did something else.
It's certainly an interesting game, much more psychologically-disturbing than Resident Evil. The gameplay was slow and concentrated more on puzzle-solving than combat, no bad thing. The atmosphere was superb, a deserted town shrouded in fog, abandonded locations, lots of rusty things.
The story was a bit confusing, not sure if it lost something in translation from the Japanese, though it was coherent enough to actually get something from it - either that or I'm thick.
It's certainly a game well worth playing if you haven't already. I'm not sure I'll be going for all the endings just yet, maybe in the future.
Right now I'm just enjoying the fact I completed a game, what a feeling.
