Onlive - Online Gaming
It has recently come to my attention that a service called Onlive.com allows basic computers the ability to play high quality graphics intensive games online.
My current PC, Acer Aspire 5610Z, which I purchased years ago cannot run most new PC games and can barely run Left4Dead. I thought I would need a new laptop, but Onlive's gaming center has given me new hope.
To sign up, you have to use a credit card but there is no charge. (Correction, now you can sign up for a free trial without a credit card.) You can play most of the games for 30 min. free and you can watch other people play at any time.
The games seem to run very well and do require a broadband connection. The best time to purchase a game is usually on the weekends which is when they run sales.
