Gaming thin client OnLive — which streams advanced PC games from the cloud to any device with an Internet connection — has just gone live for select guinea pigs, and if you sign up now, you can potentially get a year’s subscription to the service for free thanks to a partnership with AT&T.
That’s not to say the games will be free though: it’s only the $4.95 per month fee that’s being waived if you get in. The games themselves — which include Assassin’s Creed 2, Mass Effect, Bioshock, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Borderlands and Just Cause 2 among others — will still cost money.
If the thought of playing cutting-edge PC shooters on your iPad or MacBook sounds good to you, you might as well sign-up today… although it looks like you’ll need to wait to see if you get in to download the client and start playing.
