world of goo is in the lauch list; surprised no one has mentioned it. |
Interesting! I read this on a number of sites but I don't see it in the OnLive Game list actually... maybe they just don't advertise with it.
I thought that the main selling point of OnLive was that it would enable you to run high-end games that your own computer isn't capable of running. I wonder what the point of playing World of Goo on OnLive is then: if you can run the OnLive client, you can certainly run the game directly as well. Seems like you'd end up paying a lot more to play it on OnLive, and then you're restricted to playing online. So I wonder who's buying?
I am probably very much biased, but I still think the best deal you can get on World of Goo is just to get the multi-platform DRM-free release directly from 2D Boy. :) |

I think this would be answer to someone who actually buys the $100 laptops which isnt capable of running anything. At the same time. I think OnLive is a subscription service like Netflix and you can play how much ever games you want as long as you pay a monthly fee. |
I think World of Goo is there just because 2D Boy was a partner in this whole thing. It's really hart warming when I see 2D Boy logo next to these giants! :)

Though it's not very heartwarming that they'd rather keep commercial partnerships than keeping relations with customers tops. (By that I mean they've not made their promised expansion packs or checking the forums.) |
