The OnLive Game Service is free of charge for instant game demos and OnLive's exclusive social features such as OnLive's massive spectating Arena featuring both multiplayer and spectator voice and text chat, and OnLive's Brag Clip™ videos for sharing your awesome gaming exploits. It shows the ubiquity of OnLive's patented technology, both as a frictionless way to check out games for all platforms, and as a game platform itself." "Today marks a milestone for the videogame industry," said Steve Perlman, OnLive Founder and CEO, "Not only is this the first time a major game pre-release PC demo is available exclusively from OnLive, but it's the first time a game platform is encouraging gamers to buy a game on their preferred platform, whether or not that is OnLive.

No big downloads or making room on the hard drive. OnLive is a great way for console gamers to demo Red Faction Armageddon, too.

While OnLive has been releasing new major game titles on the same day and date as PCs and consoles, Red Faction Armageddon marks the beginning of a new era in videogame distribution, where OnLive's ability to provide an instant, frictionless demo on almost any PC, Mac or HDTV (and soon mobile) makes OnLive the universal demo platform of choice.
