Onlive Gaming System

Onlive, a new player in the gaming market, will allow you to play top brand games on your PC, Mac, or HDTV. Their high-speed cloud based gaming service allows you to stream games on demand, basically making Onlive the Netflix/pay-per-view of video games. Playing from your PC or Mac will require no additional hardware, and the “system” for your high def television will only set you back $99. It seems like a no brainer for gaming, but it does however lack the motion element that exists with Wii, Playstation Move, and Xbox Kinect. Onlive is new, but it’ll be interesting to see how many games are added to their library and if they incorporate new motion-sensing controls in future hardware updates.
