OnLive reveals a "Cloud Gaming" Service

At GDC this week, the company OnLive revealed a gaming service that streams games to your PC or Mac that run at 60 fps with no hiccups no matter your hardware specs. Personally, I am really psyched for this because I've sort of stopped gaming on my PC because all of the new games are too graphically intensive for my computer to handle. All you need is a 1.5 megabytes-per-second internet connection for standard definition (480p) and a 5.0 megabytes-per-second for HD (720p). The games run through OnLive's servers, so you could be playing them on just about anything. Many publishers have also jumped on the bandwagon, including Atari, Eidos, Codemasters, Electronic Arts, Epic, Take-Two, THQ, and Ubisoft. I'm sure that retailers are going to be a bit pissed about this, but this is definitely the future of gaming. Expect a beta sometime during the summer and a full launch around winter.

-Hopefully I'll be playing this in about a half a year.
