True Gaming Has Finally Arrived

Now if since the arrival of big app markets people have been playing games on smartphones and continued to on tablets.  App games have now started a trend of even outselling some games on gaming consoles.  Since these games inception though their has been some what of a division among gamers.  There have been those called themselves "true gamers" that see these Android games as too simple and is what's wrong with gaming today.  They feel these games are a waist of time.  On the other side of the coin, there are people that have never been into console gaming that love these games that anyone can play, and others that feel they have a new opportunity to play great games that kill time in a fun way.  Well now finally there is an answer to satisfy both sides.

A company called OnLive has released True Gaming to the Mobile World.  They have done this by bringing games that have been previously on been on the PC or Gaming Consoles to arrive on Smartphones and Tablets.  How did they do this might you ask?  By using the same type of technology that's quickly becoming the future, cloud based technology.  See while we wait for new graphic processors like the Tegra 3 and beyond to come out, our tablets do not have the resources to master graphics like the consoles and computers do.  So what OnLive did was find a way for the players to select a game, play it from OnLive's servers and then bring it to your device without delays.  It's truly an amazing achievement.  It makes its so that you can play a game as great as Batman Arkham City that was just released this year for the top Consoles and PC, and bringing that kind of quality and fluidity to you smartphones and tablets.

The company has ways you can buy games, rent them for a couple of days, or even stream them (sort of speak) for a monthly payment.  So you have lots of different options.  Plus it's one purchase to use one game for all of your devices. The other big deal that they bring to the table has to be their gaming controller that can be used for you computers, most smartphones and tablets (they promise to keep updating the newest ones as time go by) and even connect it to your tv (with an adapter of course).  This brings a true gaming experience that you can have anywhere that has internet (which if you have a broadband card is everywhere).  So go play and have some fun, gamers will be gamers even if that's the reason we don't get some.
