Onlive Now Beaming Console Games From The Cloud To iOSAndroid Devices (Hands-on Video)

The claims are magnificent: "The latest, top-tier, high-performance games...on over 500 million mobile devices." The results are slightly less than spectacular, but still impressive enough to completely shake up the mobile gaming scene. For the first time, you can play real games (as in titles previously only available on full-fledged gaming consoles) on a relatively low power device such as a tablet or smartphone. Thanks to Onlive's just-launched mobile app, DiRT 3, Assasin's Creed Revelations, L.A. Noire and many more titles are now playable on most recent Android devices including the Kindle Fire, iPad and soon, the iPhone. Onlive is by nature gaming done different. Instead of relying on local media, games are streamed thanks to today's generous bandwidth. Available starting today, Onlive is no longer restricted to a TV or computer. The entire system and its ever-growing library of games (currently around 200 titles) are now playable on a select number of mobile devices. I found that it's almost true console gaming on the go. Like the traditional Onlive service, it's not perfect but still pretty neat.
