Eliminating the need for huge downloads and long wait times, OnLive gives users access to high quality mobile games from just about anywhere they may find themselves, using either touch controls or an OnLive wireless controller (available here).

All you need is an Android 2.3+ device and an internet/data connection. A full list of compatible devices is available at OnLive's Android Market listing, linked below. Adding more convenience to the service, OnLive offers free demos of nearly every game available, so you can get a handle on each game before committing to a (possibly) hefty price tag.

OnLive Partners With BT And GAME, Brings On-Demand Cloud Gaming To The UK

Posted by in Games, News

OnLive officially launched an innovative cloud-based gaming service at the Eurogamer Expo in London yesterday, making on-demand gameplay available to users throughout the UK.

The new service supports a vast array of devices including HDTVs, PCs, Macs, and (soon) Android and iPad tablets connected to "almost any" broadband connection.

As a special promotion of the service, BT, one of the UK's most popular broadband providers, is offering its customers three months of free access. Additionally, customers taking advantage of the promotion won't have to worry about going over their bandwidth allowance, as OnLive traffic will not count toward monthly limits until the new year.

OnLive Viewer APK Pulled From HTC Flyer, And It Appears To Be Working On Most Devices

Posted by in Flyer, News

Last night, the HTC Flyer received an update that included the OnLive viewer, allowing users to get a glimpse of what the future of mobile gaming should look like. Naturally, those of us that don't have a Flyer want to peep into said future, too - so, in typical XDA fashion, the APK was extracted from the update so it could be installed on other devices. It's worth noting that this is the viewer, not the player, so you'll only be able to watch the action. For those not sure what OnLive is all about, here's a video of it running on a PC:

For the most part, the app seems to be working on the bulk of devices - including Droid X, EVO 4G, EVO 3D, Nook Color running CM7, and Samsung Galaxy S II, just to name a few.

OnLive Demoed On HTC Flyer With New Universal Wireless Controller

Posted by in Android OS, Flyer, Games, News

On paper, the OnLive game system seems like a revolution in gaming: instead of using your own console or hardware to play games, OnLive's servers sync and render gamplay on their own servers and stream it back to you in 720p. This would theoretically allow you to play any game you wanted at high settings, regardless of your available hardware.

OnLive's taken the chance to expand from an initial PC experience to include their own microconsole; however, it looks like they're expanding to the Android tablet market, as well. The company is expected to showcase their new universal controller at the upcoming E3 conference, but Engadget has a video demo of it in action with an HTC Flyer tablet.
