I think you guys are misunderstanding the point of this. Yes, it's split into levels, just like games have always been. But this is not intended to win over gamers; it's intended to win over non-gamers. The point is that pacing the levels like a TV show will make the game experience more familiar to a non-gamer. Also, while hardcore guys like yourselves may think nothing of playing a whole game through the night, more casual gamers might appreciate the predictable episode format. Like, "I've got 45 minutes until I have to meet a friend. Hey, I know, I'll play an episode of Alone in the Dark!"
