The Lost Wheel Returns, In A New Video Game

People know I'm a fan of Lost, so they send me Lost sightings. Such as this Lost "donkey wheel" in new first-person shooter Singularity. From Raven Software, the people who put cake in a Wolverine game. Turn that island! More »

How Two Fake Bands From 'Lost' Wound Up In Rock Band

Michael McWhertor — Wed, 02 Jun 2010 22:00:00 EDT

Lost is over. But Lost devotees can still experience the drug-addled, pop rock thrills of its fictional band Drive Shaft and the show's in-joke act Geronimo Jackson, thanks to Rock Band and the efforts of a dedicated Harmonix employee. More »

If Lucasarts Had Made A Lost Game...In 1987...

Luke Plunkett — Sat, 29 May 2010 01:30:00 EDT

In 1987, Lucasarts (well, Lucasfilm) released Maniac Mansion, a game that would revolutionise PC adventure titles with its innovative "SCUMM" menu system. This is what the world would look like if that game had been based on TV series Lost. More »

Lost Planet 2's Second Map Pack Has Something Old And Something New

Mike Fahey — Thu, 27 May 2010 12:20:00 EDT

Fearing Lost Could End Like A Video Game

Stephen Totilo — Tue, 04 May 2010 17:00:00 EDT

Video games have given the world joy, joysticks and Super Mario. They've been accused of worse. Let us hope they have not inspired TV series, like Lost, to end simplistically (thus, badly!), the way so many video games do. More »

Lost TV Show Goes A Little Bit FPS, A Little Bit Rock N' Roll

Luke Plunkett — Sat, 31 Jan 2009 00:30:00 EST

Lost: Via Domus 'Crash' Trailer

fdemarco — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 18:00:00 EST

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 »

Ubisoft Knows All The Lost Secrets

Brian Ashcraft — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 04:00:22 EST

I like Lost. The wife and I rent the DVDs (she needs subtitles) and watch 'em together. As Stephen Totilo at MTV Multiplayer pointed out, if you don't like Lost, you probably won't be interested in this post. MTV sat down with Ubisoft to check out upcoming Lost game adaptation Lost: Via Domus, which the game's co-writer Kevin Shortt walked Totilo through. Lost, of course, is famous for its mysterious WTF plotline. In making this game, Shortt became privy to that. He says: More »

The LOST Numbers in HL2

fdemarco — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 15:00:00 EDT

Earlier today I posted about the Lost easter eggs that people have been finding in Half-Life 2, specifically a Dharma Initiative like logo and the mysterious Lost numbers. I put out a call for folks to send in any that they found and Kotakuite, External Gazer got right on and emailed us a picture of the numbers which we did not have before. So there it is in all it's easer eggy glory. If anyone finds any more, be sure to send them our way! More »

LOST Found In Half-Life 2

fdemarco — Sun, 14 Oct 2007 10:00:00 EDT

Apparently, the design team working on Half-Life Episode 2 are fans of the ABC TV show, Lost. This morning I received an email from Kotakuite p00pzilla with this screenshot clearly showing a symbol on the wall that mimics the logo of Lost's Dharma Initiative. Now add to this the email I received yesterday from another Kotakuite saying he had seen Lost's mysterious string of numbers, "4 8 15 16 23 42" on a CRT computer screen in a blocked off room of the game's second level. Unfortunately he didn't include a screenshot so I had to let it go by, but now with this corroborating evidence, it's clear that the HL2 team is slipping in references to a favorite show. Has anyone else found Lost references n HL2? if so, be sure to send in a screenshot so we can add it to the dossier. More »

Lost Debut Trailer

Mike Fahey — Thu, 26 Jul 2007 21:00:15 EDT

Gamevideos has posted the first trailer for Ubisoft's Lost videogame that debuted earlier today at Comic Con, based off of the show that you all watch religiously unless you are some kind of blasphemous heretic. Being a blasphemous heretic myself, my only exposure to the show has been commercials, and yep...this certainly could pass for one. It has the requisite familiar faces, the appropriate setting and mood, and those damn peaking violins that just cry out, "Be in suspense, dammit!" As for show accuracy and such...well that's what we have a comments section for. So those of you who know more than we do can lord it over our heads. Knock yourselves out! More »

Kim Phu — Wed, 18 Apr 2007 13:40:00 EDT

It's tacked on to the end of a GameSpot piece about how the Xbox 360 will sell three million units in three months, but during tonight's Lost on ABC, there will be a major Xbox 360 commercial.
