Our geekier, yet still kind of cute in her own way sister site Engadget recently took Dave Perry-fronted streaming service
Gaikai for a spin, and posted the results for all to see. Though the performance sounds about comparable to
OnLive, the greatest strength of Perry's competing service is that it's not, in fact, attempting to compete.
Gaikai is primarily a way to sample games
before purchasing them on a retail console or PC, so the inherent limitations aren't as large of hurdles as they are on OnLive, which aims to replace the home console. Or, at least, that's how Perry's pitching it. Get more of his take (and more Engadget reaction to the Gaikai experience)
right here.
