PLUS, a look at the full controller.



That's right, Cloud gaming service OnLive is coming to Ouya on launch, the upcoming Android 'hackable' console with the size of a Rubik's Cube.

Cloud gaming service OnLive is coming to Ouya, the new upcoming $99 Android-powered game console.

That's right, OnLive will offer Ouya players "hundreds of playable titles"� from more than 80 publishers, streamed right to your television set.

These games can be accessed across Ouya, and "on the go"� via "PCs, Macs, tablets and phones."� Demos will be available for "every game"� in the OnLive library, allowing players to experience "up to 30 minutes of each game"� before deciding whether or not they'd like to make a purchase.

Full details:

- OnLive will deliver a full console-class experience, bringing hundreds of top-tier games from more than 80 publishers to the OUYA console for play on demand.
- OUYA owners will be able to jump in and play any of these games both at home on their OUYA console, and on the go on PCs, Macs, tablets and phones, never leaving a game behind.
- Instant demos will be available for nearly every game in our ever-growing library-from eagerly anticipated indie titles like Ravaged, to hot blockbusters like the upcoming Darksiders II. Players can experience up to 30 minutes of each game for free before deciding what to buy. If they like it, they can continue playing where the demo left off.

And yes, the app will be available on the same day when the console launches next year.

"Ouya is rethinking the console business, making waves by using standard technology to make gaming for your living room accessible, affordable and more innovative than ever,"� said OnLive general manager Bruce Grove. "In OnLive's case, we pioneered a groundbreaking, cloud-based system that instantly delivers games to any device on demand."�

If you didn't know, the console won't measure more than a few inches wide. "Our console is quite small, around the size of a Rubik's cube, and so it will easily fit anywhere in a room, or be easy to throw in a backpack", said Yves Béhar.

Plus, developers showed off new rendered images of the Ouya console and its controller. Here are the pics:

Onlive is a joke! I fire it up every 4-5 months to see if it gets any better. I still have bad lag and glitchy game play. The input lag is crazy bad. I get you have been disconnected from onlive servers all the time and I am on a 15meg fiber conn.
