There's no doubt that todays gamers are in a sort of "arms race" with the video game industry. Developers publish new games each day that require more and more system resources to run and new consoles need to be purchased to play the latest titles.
However a new startup company is hoping to change this. OnLive seeks to put all the hardware and processing power necessary for next gen games not in your living room but rather on their servers and machines which will then deliver the content to you through a broadband connection, basically applying the concept of cloud computing to gaming.
The gaming world is buzzing with people either bashing or praising OnLive's novel idea but I'll wait til the beta has been underway for a while before I form a concrete opinion.
