How long a game should be really depends on the mood your in. Sometimes you just want to blast through something at a rate of knots (CoD for example, 6 hours or so), other times you want to take your time and spend the best part of a week or two (Football Manager, Civ 2/4).
Generally speaking RPG's should be at least twice if not four times as long as a FPS. Strategy games should take more than a day to complete, maybe weeks if there's multiple races & endings.
FPS - 20-30 hours
RPG - 40-120 hours
RTS - 24-48 hours
Platformer - less than 12 hours
Empire & Management - Potentially forever.
