How awesome would it be if when you bought a copy of a game it came with an Onlive copy, or have the option to buy an Onlive copy really cheap like $5. It would also help discourage piracy. :)

@Giovanni117 That happened a few times before. I'm pretty sure Braid from one of the Indie Bundles came with a token for an OnLive copy. Wasn't that the case with retail versions of Deus Ex as well?

I mean have all games(realistically Multiplatform) do that.

Imagine playing (INSERT FAVORITE GAME) on your home console(PC included) then going on a long strenuous road trip. You're bored of playing angry birds, but wait you have a 3g enabled device now you can play (INSERT FAVORITE GAME) again. :D

@Giovanni117 I think it's a great idea. I just wonder if all retailers and publishers would agree.

Square did it with Deus Ex... but then Gamestop had a hissy fit. I imagine that'll be the biggest hurdle with that idea.

My copy of Deus Ex came with the OnLive code, which I knew I'd never use. I just sold it on eBay and got like $30 for it. While that was great for me (and the buyer, who got it for cheap), I imagine Square wouldn't love that lol

Great game but I'm sure the iPad's battery would be dead before I finished playing.

These games are OK. I am literally playing through World of Keflings right now. Not an amazing game but they are fun. I kind of wish there was more to do though.

@sammo21

If you have OnLive, and you like world building games like the Keflings series, you could always play the much superior Tropico 3 and Tropico 4.

Tropico 4, the lastest installment in the series, normally retails at OnLive for $39.99, but I picked up my copy on sale a few months back for only $7.

Then there is always the older Tropico 3, which is part of OnLive's optional, all-you-can-eat bundle called the PlayPack Bundle. As mentioned, the PlayPack Bundle is completely optional service, and costs $9.99/month (cancel any time). There are over 150 games in the PlayPack Bundle, with more being added every week. Most of the games are either older games, or indie games. But for the low fee of $9.99/month, you can play any, and every game in the bundle as much as you like.

Tropico 3, as well as several other world-building/resource management/strategy games like Fate of the Pharaoh, Grand Ages: Rome, King's Legacy, Evil Genius, and quite a few others are in that bundle. So it may be something worth it to giving your attention to - especially for only $9.99/month.
