OnLive is working with Wikipad to make streaming cloud PC games playable with the Wikipad’s included controller encasing. OnLive is a cloud gaming service that lets users play games via streaming to devices that can be connected to the OnLive controller or other compatible controllers. However, in the case with Wikipad, the controller the tablet sits in will now work with OnLive games.
OnLive allows for two ways to access get games, using Cloudlift you can play from an assortment of selected games, if you already own them on Steam you won’t actually have to buy the game again, you just have to pay the monthly $7.95 fee. There is also the PlayPack, Over 250 games are available to stream and it only costs $9.95 a month.
The Wikipad is currently available for $199, beyond the new OnLive compatibility, using the controller casing, you can play many Android games with a controller. The Wikipad can also be taken out of its casing and used like a normal tablet.
