OnLive: The cloud gaming service

[kickstart]

Does anyone with an iPhone or Android use this app? It'd be cool to pass the time playing video games on my phone that are worthwhile while at work or in class.
Batman Arkham City was apparently just added, and this looks promising not having to have a 360 or PS3.

make sure that wherever you plan on using onlive has a fast internet connection (3Mb/s>>>)  



looks decent on android. Being able to play on your pc or their set top box at home and then resuming game play when your away from home seems so

I was just reading about this last week.  Seems pretty cool but game selection is still limited it seems.  I am surprised no one else has mentioned it earlier.

how's the ping on the service?

that's the true online game killer. bad ping = bad experience.

I've seen it mentioned on here before.
Onlive has been around for a while now although i think most people aren't ready to adopt the idea of cloud gaming yet, especially since not everybody has an internet connection that can handle Onlive and you cannot play any of your games if your internet connection goes out.

If Apple hasn't off on it already it'll pick up steam especially if they get some bigger game titles.

The idea is definitely one of those why didnt i think of that type of business. Could be promising.

Always played onlive. Wanna see how good it is for the iPhone 4s

according to the onlive forums it doesn't look the iOS app is expected to be released until Jan/Feb 2012 the earliest 

& games made by 2k games cannot be played on mobile devices apparently (link).

This system is so awesome!
