So, not sure if you guys have seen this, but onlive is a cloud-based system which essentially streams games to your PC or Mac. The great thing about this is that you don't need a console or PC etc, but you can just play any PC game Unreal 3, Assassins creed 3 etc etc on your Mac.

Has anyone seen/used this yet on their Mac, if so, what's it like?

    Unless you happen to live within about 15milliseconds of one of their server facilities, the lag is bothersome and degrades to atrocious the farther away you get. Potentially a great thing, but they don't yet have enough server hosting partners in enough localities to reach that potential yet.



    If you are close though you could be quite happy. I don't know how to check ahead of time, unfortunately.
