Unofficial Lost Terminal IPhone App Is A Game Of Patience
6:20AM Michael McWhertor | Lost fans—myself included—may not find the idea of typing six numbers into a computer terminal every 108 minutes, as show characters were forced to do, particularly fun. But there’s an app for that. More »

Lost TV Show Goes A Little Bit FPS, A Little Bit Rock N’ Roll
2:30PM Luke Plunkett | We’ve seen it in a sequence in Doom already, but that was a movie about an FPS, so it doesn’t count. This, though – an FPS sequence in the TV show Lost – counts. More »AP Gets Grumpy About Gaming

Lost: The Video Game Xbox 360 Impressions
12:30PM Logan Booker | Lost: The Video Game for the 360 arrived today. Being a fan of the show, I got excited. Not heaps excited, but moderately excited. The sort of excited a platypus would feel if it had any concept of just how uniquely freakish it is.
You want to know about the game, don’t you? Sure, I can do that.
It opens like an episode of the show. We’re introduced to a new character, Elliott, a photojournalist who turns out to be the player. The plane breaks up, people get sucked out of windows, etc., and the lights go out. Then we wake up on our backs in the middle of the jungle, Jack-style.
Except we can’t remember anything.
We get up and walk around, examining some plane seats using the Y button. Then, we see a figure in the distance. Is it Jack’s dead father? No, it’s not. It’s some chick we don’t know. As we run up to her, we’re distracted by a body caught in a tree. When we look back, she’s vanished.
Cue Twilight Zone music. I’m thinking it’s not so bad, a little linear, but it’s an adventure game so that’s how things normally roll. And then we had a flashback. More »

2:30PM Logan Booker | Release schedules. I love them.
I’m not sure if it’s the differently-coloured Excel spreadsheet boxes or the rows and rows of “TBC”, “TBD”, “IDK” and “WTF”, but there’s something mystically magical about dates, prices and titles that makes my heart pound and my skin flush bright red.
Well, it’s either that or the 1000mg of caffeine coursing through my veins.
If you’re still reading at this point, bravo! I highly recommend hitting the jump as we uncover the gooey goodness of Ubisoft’s latest schedule. Assassin’s Creed, Haze and more to follow. More »

10:00AM Flynn De Marco | Here we have a second trailer for UbiSoft’s upcoming game based on the hit ABC TV show LOST entitled Lost: Via Domus. You play one of the survivors of Oceanic Flight 815 and interact with all of the show’s well known characters to help cure your apparent amnesia. Knowing the way the LOST machine works, I wouldn’t put it past them to include some exclusive easter eggs in the game that will be clues to the show’s plot. But just like the show, the trailer leaves the viewer with more questions than it does answers. More »
