Yes! Get in! I Love Lost, it'll be interesting to see how well it translates into a game, I can't wait, alough I hope to god it's not going to be a pointless cash-in!
A life without games is like a life without oxygen.

I wouldn't ge my hopes up too much. Given that the reasoning for buying the license is the success of the CSI series (4 games, all of which got fairly average reviews) should we expect anything more then a cash in?
The CSI games, whatever their score, were one of the bestselling games in the US market last year and safe to say whatever they produce it'll get bought, so I doubt there's too much of an incentive to produce something amazing.
Fingers crossed for something nice, but why put the effort in for something which is intended for the general public to see in Walmart and buy on the strength of the T.V. series?

I too love Lost but I have a game called Lost In Blue on my DS which plugs that gap somewhat. A ost gae might be good but how far can you go with it, I don't know.
A feel a much more deserving show for a game would be something like the superb Prison Break, a show that's briliantly written and deserves more recognition (check it out on Channel 5). Its gripping stuff worthy of your time, in some cases more than Lost if not as much.
Besides few games actually have you play a prisoner secretly trying to break out while living the jail bird life. It would be cool.
Can't wait for the series one Prison Break DVD boxset that come August. Bring on series two.
