What is this "Onlive

Onlive is a cloud-gaming marketplace, like Steam, except, one thing is different: Cloud-gaming. This connects you to a computer in one of their datacenters, which has all of the games listed in their marketplace, and has the latest specs. It's completely free, getting the games is where you have to pay, however, there are 30 minute trials for every game. I tried it out: No downloading, you click on a game to play, and it loads up in a minute or so.

And the greatest part: You can play on a crappy computer.

I'm playing Batman Arkham Asylum trial, on a intel based laptop, smoothly, with great graphics, jsut because onlive connects you to another computer, and you play on that computer, from your computer at home.

thing is if you're not extremely close to one of their servers it's really unresponsive and you buy games that you don't actually own and you can't download them if you wish to

You just need a fast internet connection for this.

I tried it out but if I remember correctly it plays in a 1280x720 resolution?  They might've changed that.  I still have it.  I used to be part of their beta program but I guess now its free.

It's a nice tool for people who can't yet get good computers but if you own the games already or you already have a good computer its not necessary.  Nice demos though.

Oh yeah, and that.  If their business goes out, you don't get to keep your games since its theoretically on a cloud.

Onlive is great with the 30 minute trials since you can basically play the multiplayer for free :D
