First I've heard of this, but it is pretty neat. Basically allows you to instantly play a PC game demo in your browser. Very similar to OnLive, but I don't see any option to play or purchase full games on it.

Sounds cool, but I really don't like the idea of not truly owning your games at all, not having the files, a disc, or anything. At least with Steam even though the games are digital, they have clearly stated that if they went down they'd make all of the games that you own playable offline.

I agree however this is just for demos.

Tried out the demo for Crysis 2, was fairly choppying and there was noticable graphical glitches.

It's certainly not going to give you a full feel for the game, but it is nice to see a quick hands on glance.
