OnLive: The Future of Video Games
An innovative and very interesting concept is Onlive, which delivers a new way of gaming.
Without necessarily having a top gaming PC with the latest 3D videocard, Onlive offers Topgames playable online through broadband internet with even a fairly simple laptop or Mac!
I am curious if this will succeed in the near future, I definately hope so!

Please share your opinion on this topic on the statements below (please ad your date of birth):
Statement 1. Games can be used as a marketing tool
Statement 2. Games can be used to test products virtually in games, like done with Renault Megane and Need For Speed
Statement 3. Promotional advertising in games is no problem as long as it is either relevant for me as consumer or done in an appropriate manner (fitting the game and surrounding)
Statement 4. I would download free games and free mods even if I know they are produced by brands (like Adidas, Axe, Diesel, Sony, etc.)
Statement 5. I would promote good sponsored games or advergames to friends and send emails about it to them.

I find it remarkably that there has not been made any use of the spectacular images and video’s that could have been made of the ingame driving experience… use crossover whenever you can – I say…

Nice (but very short) trailer of the Renault Megane in EA’s Need for Speed: Undercover. Plenty of consumer generated movies as well on Youtube by the way…

Brilliant to see that a girlfriend asked the Fallout Mod community for help in asking her boyfriend to marry her through an ingame scripted event. Fantastic!
And even in the Chrysler building (1:54 in a post nuclear setting).
Skip to 6 minutes if you want to see the proposal.

Jobs: iPod Touch is a games machine | Casual games | News by Casualgaming.biz: “Steve Jobs has stated in the clearest terms yet that Apple is to market its iPod Touch as a dedicated games device – and considering how the company has so successfully dominated the MP3 and mobile phone markets, the news will surely be met with concern at both Nintendo and Sony.
Jobs also confessed that last night’s price drop for the device positions it directly at the mass-market – a sector that to date Nintendo has courted with great success.
“Originally, we weren’t exactly sure how to market the Touch,” Jobs told The New York Times. “Was it an iPhone without the phone? Was it a pocket computer? What happened was, what customers told us was, they started to see it as a game machine.
“We started to market it that way, and it just took off. And now what we really see is it’s the lowest-cost way to the App Store, and that’s the big draw.
‘So what we were focused on is just reducing the price to $199. We don’t need to add new stuff. We need to get the price down where everyone can afford it.””
