Lost: Via Domus

Well the first few reviews for Lost: Via Domus are in....and they are decent. Metacritic doesn't have a Metascore for it yet since there are only two reviews, but the average is a 73 out of 100. I'm not really sure why, but I'm kind of excited for this game. Maybe it is because Season 4 has put me back in the mood, or maybe I'm obsessed, but either way it is at the top of my Gamefly Que.

UPDATE: Well there is a Metascore now, it is currently at 58 out of 100.

Squidoo

For those of you who haven't heard of Squidoo, here is a how the creator Seth Godin describes it.

"Squidoo is a website hosting hundreds of thousands of handbuilt webpages (just to be difficult, we call them "lenses"). Each lens is one person's look at something online. Your take on football or business or the best thai food in town."

In other words, it is a site where you can voice your opinion about whatever you want. Each topic you decide to create a "lens" for is encompassed in a single page. There is no limit however to the number of different "lenses" you can have. Now here is the coolest part. Along with giving you a free place to build a page about what ever you want, you also get to decide what to do with the ad revenue from your "lens". You can keep it all for yourself, give it to charity, or keep some for you and give some to charity.

I have been creating a few "lenses" recently and I would like to share them here. I'm not claiming that they are anything special, but I am pretty happy with my progress so far. I will let you know of any major updates I make in the future. If you run a website of your own, or just want to get your opinion out about something you are passionate about, I recommend you create a "lens" of your own.
