Lost: Via Domus On Shelves Today
ABC’s mega-hit television show Lost now has a video game. Lost: Via Domus makes you play as an amnesiac survivor of Oceanic Flight 815 who is trying to get more information about his past.
In the process of unlocking the mystery of your past, you get to interact with many of the show’s popular characters and get to visit some of the island’s iconic locations.
This is basically an action-adventure game. You will have to fight, run or hide your way and survive some of the many hazards found on the TV show from the weird black smoke thingy to the mysterious “others” that inhabit the island. There are also numerous “easter eggs” that you can find throughout the game.
If you missed some shows or seasons and are afraid of spoilers, be warned that the game follows the first two seasons’ story. If you’ve watched that much then there shouldn’t be any spoilers. Some of the locations featured in the third season can be visited as well.
I’m a fan of the show and the idea of being able to roam the island and explore it really sounds exciting. I am curious on how they will pull this off. The show has basically given more questions and almost no answers the past three seasons. Will the game be like that as well? I hope that it really is a good game. Usually TV shows or movies turned into games don’t turn out well.
The game is made by Ubisoft and Gameloft and is available for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and the PC. Chances are I’ll try out the PC version at least.

Hum. I’m usually not impressed by games based off T.V. shows or movies. Looks interesting though.
