OnLive Offers New Social Features on LG Google TV

OnLive, the cloud-streaming gaming company that removes the need for a console, are banking on the next generation of Smart TVs to get them into living rooms easily. The idea is that a consumer buys an LG Smart TV (powered by Google TV), buys an OnLive controller, gets home, and realizes that they can play a whole library of triple A console games without actually having a console. It sounds good for the user but its success will depend on the user experience.

I’ve used OnLive a few times and find it to be an enjoyable experience.
