217w ago - Over at the Game Developers Conference, OnLive is being demoed and boy does it look amazing.

It has all the features any gamer could want. First off, it has a Showcase of games displayed in such a stylistic way with a catalog of games from great publishers such as EA, Take-Two and 2D Boy.

Second, the Friends pages are awesome, with their moving video captures and brag clips.

Third, the games stream amazingly fast and by the looks of it, there's no need to install since it's running off their server.
