Steve Perlman, OnLive's founder and CEO, boasts in the company's press release that, "The OnLive Game System marks the start of a new era for video games and home entertainment. Not only is the OnLive Game System the fastest, simplest way to play, wat...
It works! Games are faster than on consoles or PCs, Free service, games are all PC-priced ($50 or less) with free trials, Works with gamepads and keyboard + mouse, "Owl" gamepad excels over Dualshock 3 and 360 controller, Simple and slow-paced games feel
Overall video quality suffers greatly based on connection errors, spurts, Microconsole bundle is expensive for an unproven service, Ridiculously stressful on your Internet, low latency requirement can be a killer, Only 35 games, and new releases are few a
Simple to set up, Impressive 1:1 mapping, no discernable lag, Good selection of games,
Network errors can effect gameplay, Very dependent on Internet connection, Public multiplayer needs improvement

Small, quiet. Easy setup. Great performance. Well made, fun to use controller. Cables included.
No a la carte controller yet. No voice chat yet. No all-you-can-play yet. All those said to be coming soon.
The MicroConsole is a winner, making OnLive's already solid games-streaming service more versatile than ever. Games look terrific at full 1080p, and we never noticed controller lag. Being able to demo games before purchase and opt to rent instead of ...
Abstract: When OnLive was first announced last year, I was quite intrigued by how it worked. If you’re living in the basement at this point, OnLive is a cloud-based gaming service, which streams games to your computer. This means that every frame and every butto...

Easy to set up, good build quality, makes OnLive games much better, works with Android tablets, can be set up to work with other games
£40 is quite a lot for a controller, but the functionality it adds is worth the money
If you've got OnLive on your system we think this is a no brainer. £40 for a Xbox-style controller that works with OnLive, and can be used with Steam and other Mac games. It's sturdy and well-built, with excellent control mechanism; easy to set up and gre...
Easy-to-use, attractive interface, Decent controller, Available across breadth of platforms, Good value Playback sub
No Wi-Fi on MicroConsole, MicroConsole controller doesn't work with tablets/PC, Reduced video quality, Not all games are transmitted with top settings
A proof of concept and a lot more besides, OnLive offers a workable and versatile remote gaming solution that lets you continue your at-home gaming adventures on-the-go, better than almost any other method. Video quality issues and a slightly limited rate...
