Lost

You've gotta love The Others. No, not the rubbish indie band. The Others in Lost. Y'know, the mysterious island denizens who make life hell for that stubbly chap and his stranded mates. A Lost game where you got to play as The Others would be great fun, wreaking havoc and trying to kill everyone off to avoid another far-fetched season of the show.

This game isn't it, but what it is is a polished and atmospheric action game that does a good job of condensing Lost for the small screen without a) turning it into a platform game, b) revealing any plot spoilers, or c) including the hobbit bloke's comical Britpop band flashbacks. And that's something to be thankful for.

Lost rough narrative of the show's first series, taking in a number of memorable set-pieces. The game starts just after the plane crash, and has you (as Jack) scuttling about rescuing fellow passengers as explosions rage around you.

Don't get us wrong: Lost still a high-quality game whose best trait is its sheer pace. The action scenes are frenetic, and you're constantly no more than a screen away from doing something exciting.

If you're looking for an island-based action-adventure, our preference would still be for Stranded, but of course fans of the TV series will opt for Lost every time, and chances are they'll enjoy what they find. Like the TV show, there's every chance this game will spawn sequels in the future, so perhaps more grizzled mobile gamers can hope for something a little more taxing then, too.
