As of at least 3:19 PM EST, Onlive is apparently offering new customers $1 purchases of any game in their entire library which includes titles such as Deus Ex: Revolution, Dirt 3, Red Faction: Armegedon, Warhammer: 40,000 space marine, Assassin's Creed Brotherhood, and several others. In the e-mail that was sent out titled "Strike now--get your first game for $1!", the offer was described to last for a "limited time" which might suggest it'll prolong at least for a day or two. So for those of you who are open to the idea of gaming on a cloud service and don't mind the $1 price, why not give it a go? There isn't really much to lose anyway, right?
The OnLive game service is one of the first ever to utilize "cloud computing" technology which is basically the storage and access of applications on the internet rather than on local computer storage. In Onlive's case, cloud computing is applied to live on-demand gaming. You'll need to download and install client software to access their service and you'll need to add a valid credit card to your account in order to purchase.
