At GDC’09 the new gaming evniroment OnLive was announced. The concept is that you the game to the OnLive hardware or PC/Mac. Well, it’s actually only the picture/video is streamed, since all the calculations and the real gaminghardware is somewhere else. If you have a broadband connection you get the games in 720p, and if your internet connection is slow, you get SD picture quality. Just like Netflix, but on-demand gaming, micro-console.
For a good walkthrough of everything, take a look at Gamespot.com, they have it well covered.

There’s too much new coming from CES and it’s hard to follow them all. Sony had a keynote at CES, which combo.com so kindly posted on their site. The keynote starts with Tom Hanks and it’s quite funny.
