Tablet PCs are not as well known to be gaming stations as are laptops and desktops. However, they have as much power, and can connect to the Internet just as efficiently as their bulkier brethren. Whether you have experience with tablets or not, you’ve undoubtedly found yourself wanting to play the latest games. Of course, there have traditionally been some logistical challenges associated with playing games on a tablet. With OnLive, those challenges no longer exist.
First off, OnLive allows you to play the latest, most impressive games without having the need to download a massive file. Games today aren’t the couple of megabytes that they used to be. This isn’t about playing some silly flash game where you just click on an enemy to blow them up, and see how many points you can rack up. This is about playing massive, highly detailed games with story lines you’d pay to see in a movie theater on your tablets. For these kinds of games, you’d have to be on the fastest Internet available for hours just to get it.
With OnLive, you can simply activate the program, choose your game and get to playing on your tablet. There’s no messing with some kind of external DVD drive, no having to download a file larger than a human soul, and no funky business with trying to mount some kind of file to some kind of emulator like a twisted eugenics project. When you want to play the game, you just play the game. This is supposed to be an exercise in having some stress-free fun, as opposed to an effort to hack some computer hosted in the Pentagon.
