OnLive gaming service comes to the Mac

Image via Wikipedia

These are good times for gaming on the Mac: Following Steam's recent arrival, OnLive has now arrived for the Mac. From the site's own description: "The OnLive® Game Service is a revolutionary, on-demand video game platform that delivers the latest and most advanced games instantly over a broadband connection on virtually any PC or Mac®, via a small browser download, or HDTV, via OnLive's MicroConsole™ TV Adapter (coming soon). OnLive enables an entirely new way to discover, explore, purchase and experience the hottest video games from the world's leading publishers."

Steam for Mac is now available.

"Steam for Mac is officially available, along with a sizeable trove of games—including Portal, which is now free for everybody."

Gizmodo's headline says it all: "Real Gaming for Macs Is Finally Here". (I stole the line above from Gizmodo too.) Steam is an online gaming platform that has heretofore been limited to Windows.
