OnLive Viewer for iPad Introduces the Unexpected Pleasures of Online game Voyeurism [Video]

Cloud-based gaming service OnLine has been developing briskly during the last half year. Their first move onto the iPad, the free OnLive Viewer app , doesn’t mean you can play games but rather allows you to watch them as they’re being played. Huh!

The ability to play games will come sometime early next year-OnLive says they’re awaiting publishers to retrofit their games with touch and motion-based input-but within the meantime you should use the free OnLive Viewer iPad app (and soon an analogous app for Android tablets) to look at the action that’s transpiring on the OnLive servers. It’s more fun than it sounds! The app permits you to dip into ongoing sessions, add friends to track and chat with across the service, and consider and rank a gallery of ” Brag Clip” highlights. You’ll need to have an OnLive account to observe, but when you’re the sort of one who’s already an early adopter for a cloud-based gaming service then you definitely can probably don’t should be sold on the appeal of gaming-as-spectator-sport.
