OnLive Cloud Gaming Console Review

The console its self is a simple looking thing, but if you look closely you can see on the front here we have two USB ports for your controllers and a tiny power button in the centre.

Around the back of the console they have managed to cram in a HDMI and AV port (just below the HDMI), analog (TRS 3.5mm Stereo Mini-jack), an optical out and an Ethernet port, so a big win on connectivity.

The controller is a combitnation of the best features of both the Playstation 3 Dual Shock and the Xbox 360 controller, with a proper 4-point D-pad, dual analogue sticks, and rumble features, all add up to making this one fantastic controller, you’ll also notice a set of multimedia buttons on the controller that you can use to record and playback gaming clips at any point in any game, which are then saved to your account to share with friends on Facebook and other social site.

Around the back of the controller we have two top shoulder buttons and two analogue triggers, which I must say are some of the nicest triggers ever to have grades a console, they have a really smooth action to them that you just don’t find on any other controller, but its a difficult thing to explain until you try them out.

The controller has support for both a rechargeable battery pack or a dual AA battery clip, both were included with the controller.
