OnLive is now working with WikiPad to bring cloud based PC games playable via WikiPad. OnLive is a cloud gaming service that allows users to play games by streaming them to compatible devices, and they have already brought the same games to a number of other controllers.

Users of OnLive can play games in two different ways. The first is that they can use CloudLift and play from an assortment of games, though if the user already owns the game on Steam, they won't have to buy it again, just pay the $7.95 monthly subscription fee. Users can also use PlayPack.

The WikiPad can be bought for $199, and apart from soon being able to play games via OnLive, users can also play a number of other games available on the Google Play store. The WikiPad can also be taken out of the casing and used as a normal tablet.
