I'd rather pay $60 for an amazing ten hour game than the same price for an average game that's twenty hours long with multiplayer I don't even enjoy playing.
It's all relative. You can't just say "RE5 is bad value because it's ten hours long". But then, those ten hours are some of the most intense and downright fun action gaming available on any console. Not to mention the incentive to play through on multiple difficulties, upgrading weapons to get infinite ammo, the Mercenaries mode, the downloadable multiplayer expansion pack coming in a few weeks.
You set your game value yourself. You might pay $60 for a five hour game, but if that's one of the best games you've ever played, isn't it worth it more than a game packed with 30 + hours of gameplay that is mediocre?
