FREE for three days!
Be informed that this Halloween weekend, four games in the OnLive collection will be free. You can get,
- FEAR 3
Orcs Must Die
- Orcs Must Die
- Metro 2033
- Amnesia
for absolutely free. Over the three days, you can have try out OnLive and see if the service is any good for you. The good thing about OnLive for netbook users is that even the weakest netbook has a very good chance of being able to go OnLive. That’s because OnLive streams the game to your computer – it’s like interactive YouTube.
So far, the experience is quite average – mainly because I use a very crowded WiFi connection. If your latency is not stable, you’ll find that the video is poor, and you get stutters in gameplay. Of course, if it is good – 5Mbps good, then maybe you’ll have a fighting chance of getting 1280×720.
FEAR 3 on OnLive
As stated on the website, here are the minimum specs, in case you are wondering.
- Internet Connection: 2 Mbps wired or Wi-Fi connection

Here’s the link to the promo.
And since it’s free, that can only mean that tomorrow I shall go find a place with good, reliable WiFi and see how OnLive runs when a reliable connection is available on the good ol’ Asus. I’ll get back with a report on how it goes.
