Does this do what I think it does ??

So I can join for free,

Install their software,

Then play all the games they have for FREE (in 640x 480).

Sounds too good to be true, but a great way to try out a game before you buy it.

Could it be used to play PC Review game tournaments where some of us are playing and some of us are whatching ??

I'm puzzled

Did a bit more searching and it seems a genuine product. There is not a lot of info out there but I found one forum where it had been tried. They said it worked but not very well and was probably only useful for trying out games to see if you would like to buy them to play on a regular set up.
Looks promising for the future though.

If the technology can be perfected, game streaming (or cloud gaming) is going to be a huge thing. I'm a bit sceptical about it at the moment, as lag or buffering problems would ruin the experience - but is lots of money being thrown at setting it up. OnLive is probably one of the largest examples of cloud gaming and they are supposed to be going "live" soon.
