OnLive gaming service was announced recently that it has been launched finally at the Android Market. This will surely make those Android users that love games in their own Android phone happy with this announcement. This service will allow you to rent or purchase the hottest game console and PC games and then be able to stream them at any device like Mac, TV, PC and now the smartphones and tablets. This Android Onlive application is free of charge and the users who will now download it will be able to have a LEGO Batman’s free copy. WOW isn’t it amazing ??

It is really magnificent- ‘The latest, high -performance, top-tier games… at more than 500 million different mobile devices.’ Its results are more than spectacular, however very impressive still to shake up completely the mobile gaming world. At first time you may play real and great games (as the previous titles are available only on the full-pledged gaming consoles) at nearly low powered device just like a smartphone or a tablet. But thanks to the OnLive recently launched mobile application, Assassin’s Creed Revelations, L. A. Noire and DIRT 3 and many other titles are playable now on the newest Android devices like the iPad, Kindle Fire and very soon on the iPhone.

OnLive is a nature gaming that is done differently. And instead of counting on the local media the games are already streamed and thanks to the generous bandwidth. Starting now may be available this OnLive is not restricted in to a computer or a TV. This entire system and the growing library of great games (around 200 titles currently) are playable now on the selected number of devices mobile. You will find that it is almost completely a true console gaming device at the go. And just like the OnLive traditional service, it is not perfect but pretty cool still.

‘OnLive’ games are really cross-platform, so you may start the game in your TV at your own home then continue it in your tablet at the train going to work, then sneak at the session when having your own lunch break on Mac or PC, every time seamlessly dropping right at the action where you have just left off having complete multiplayer that is cross-platform as well as social features.’ said by the CEO and the founder Steve Perlman when describing its service at the blog post of the company.

Usually most of the games run with this Onlive Wireless Controller (coming very soon for only $49) however this company has been implanting touch controls also for these popular games.  The launching produces more than twenty enabled touch games such as Defense Grid Gold, LEGO Batman, Split Second, Dirt 3 and many more.
