Being an avid gamer, I don’t need cable TV to keep me majorly entertained. All I need is my delectable XBOX 360 and trusty PC to make me satisfied. Save for some TV programs like Lost and um, Lost, you can say I am perfectly happy living without the boob tube.

When I heard that Lost: Via Domus the game is coming to the PC and XBOX 360, I was ecstatic. Couldn’t decide between the PC or XBOX 360 version, but I was lucky that my friend, a regular Amazon.com shopper, pre-ordered the PC game and got me to try it out before he returned from his vacation.

Loading the game, one thought came into my mind: “Amazing. This is just like watching the series!” From the ever-familiar Lost logo hovering upon the black screen, the recognizable cast (Ha, Sawyer still has the knack of delivering all those great nicknames!) to the familiar narrator’s line “Previously on Lost…”, as well as the abrupt ending, Lost fans can attest that this game is definitely worth playing. You play the part of Elliot, a character (obviously) not found in the TV series. The intrigue got me on the edge of my seat, and I must say exploring the island and seeing so many familiar landmarks (fuselage debris, anyone?) is rather euphoric for a diehard fan. What’s NOT likable is the bad lip-synching and short, nearly non-existent replay value.

Oh look, Lost is starting on TV. Ta!
