David Perry's "It's not OnLive" service, Gaikai, recently gained $5 million in venture capital, a Security and Exchanges Commission filing shows. For the uninitiated, basically Perry wants to beam games directly into your house. We imagine the tech behind it is kinda like that crazy set-up the Riddler had running all over Gotham, hence the need for such a large sum of money.
All kidding aside, Perry's been very tight-lipped about Gaikai, offering up little via his Twitter account and the usual channels. However, back in July, he did offer the first sneak peek at the game streaming service, which looks like it's coming along nicely.

What? No Dead Space Girl?
Also, it'll be interesting to see how all these turn out. Hopefully they don't disappoint like that one product from... was it Infinium Labs?

Well outside of America most people pronounce the A as ah, and the I as ee.
So it would be gah-ee... which is pretty much just guy. Gah-ee-kah-ee. Say it fast and it's guy-ky.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's pronounced 'Guy'.

Let's see how this service runs not with just a server 800 miles away but with 800 people playing 800 miles away.
I'm skeptical about performance.
And also, the games look better than flash games but not as good as even the Xbox 360 counterparts, let alone a PC running with full effects.
