At this year’s Game Developers’ Conference, game publishers and developers are always looking to get eyeballs, mindshare, and ink deals that will catapult their efforts to the next level. This year, quite a lot of buzz is centered on OnLive, a startup that’s just slipped out of stealth mode but which claims to have been working on its product offering for seven years. And what is that product? The Onlive Game Service, which cleans to be an on-demand game platform that can offer the latest and most demanding game titles on any television, any reasonable PC or Mac, or their own inexpensive MicroConsole at a very low price. OnLive promises a world of gaming without No high-end computer rigs, pricey gaming console, discs—and major game publishers have already signed on to offer titles on the service when it debuts later this year.

Eidos Announces Hitman: Blood Money
When assassins from Agent 47’s contract agency, The ICA, are systematically eliminated in a series of hits, it seems a larger, more powerful agency has entered the fray. For Agent 47 it’s business as usual, until suddenly he loses contact with The ICA. Sensing that he may be the next target, he travels to America, where he prepares to make a killing.
Agent 47 is back and this time he’s paid in cold, hard cash. How the money is spent will affect his passage through the game and the weapons at his disposal, resulting in a unique gameplay experience for each player. Powered by a new version of Io’s stunning Glacier engine, Hitman: Blood Money will deliver the most brutal and realistic simulation of life as the world’s deadliest assassin.
