Games suitable for Onlive

[piggydiggy]

Hi, i'm thinking about taking up the onlive intro offer, does anyone have suggestions of games that are suited to the weak graphics/slight lag format. Ideally i'd go for DXHR but I don't want to spoil the experience (or can an onlive code be redeemed elsewhere, like steam)?

Thanks!

I tried Onlive.

I have DXHR proper. I used the offer to buy DXHR on Onlive purely for demonstrative purposes. And... I wish I could say I was lying but the Onlive version performed better. :| I don't know if I'm near their servers, or whether I just have a great ISP, or whether it's because I'm so close to my exchange, but I saw next to no latency. No more than if I were using a gamepad. It was amazing.

I showed a friend me playing the just Cause 2 trial, and he was absolutely amazed.

Don't take my word for it, though. There are free trials on the marketplace, possibly even of DXHR. Try a game that you already have and compare and contrast. If your results are like mine then you'll be amazed. It's a real eye-opener. Frankly? If it wasn't for the higher prices, I might start using Onlive exclusively for non-moddable games. :|

I mentioned elsewhere that I played Unreal Tournament 3 on Onlive, and this may be the worst game or type of game to play on the service. Something like Civ V would be absolutely perfect, though, I think.

Just try stuff. Basically every game lets you play for 15 minutes for free to get a feel of how it plays on the service.
