Rumble in the Cloud Jungle : Onlive vs Steam Friday Round 1 : onlive`s instant 2K games with Borderlands from £1.75 vs Steam`s THQ and Lara bundles


Welcome to the new Friday night all weekend every weekend throw down between Onlive and Steam , as we start our commentary remember the Cloud is ! the Cloud is baby! 


This is it people , the bleeding edge of PC gaming in 2011 , not your 20 core dual CPU quad GPU rig ,no the magic of the cloud  is how the core rolls this year , streaming magic that means you can be playing any PC game by the time you finish clicking away from this page .or whilst you are reading it  on your Atom powered netbook or your HDTV!.. And UK fans we have have our first Onlive Friday sale , a 2K weekend event .


Games like Borderlands GOTYR , and Mafia II really highlight the benefits of Onlive , both are massive resource and GPU hogs on PC ,  taking many gigabytes of hard disk space by the time you patch and download all the DLC you could quite conceivably have tidied your room and then some.... With onlive you just click and play,your room stays in a mess and  no taking piddly snapshots with F12 either , as  you effortlessly record video brag clips to your heart`s content.

If you are a subscriber the games come even cheaper Borderlands GOTYR for £3.50 ! The day that some clever tv maker , phone operator or Internet provider includes a free onlive subscription is not too far off  ...


But wait what`s this Gabe is getting up off the floor and ....responds with a quick Appel and Double , of almost every THQ game of note  and Lara Croft games at 66% off...


This would be all kinds of awesome .... last year , but can you bothered to download 100gb of games in today`s onlive world?  When you can play any of these games instantly with onlive , demoing them if need be before you buy ? The epiphany here is when you realise we no longer have to download 100gb ! 


So  who is the mouse and who is the cat in this cloud based Puss In Boots tale ?  does the giant ogre of Steam take down onlive  or will it`s ego allow it to be  be transformed into a mouse and devoured by onlive just like in the faery tale ( and probably not the new Dreamworks film..ola Sr Banderos !)  , or do they go dancing off into the sunset and produce some strange Steamonlive offspring further down the Cloud road and live happily ever after? 


What happen`s next in this cataclysmic clash of cloud gaming ? Well the fun is we get to decide , and as I have said before as long as this Onlive vs Steam fight continues we the gamers come out winners ... engarde  Señor pussycat.......
