OnLive beta review.

So to sum it up: Slow-paced multiplayer games and normal single-player games work quite well with the service, but faster paced multiplayer games such as Rainbow Six Vegas 2, Unreal Tournament 3 and other FPSes and third-person shooter multiplayer games have some severe issues with lag etc when playing through the service.

Once again, this is a beta and as such one should take everything about the review with a grain of salt, but I don't expect that many things to change before release when it comes to lag etc.

So much for looking anywhere near as crisp and clearly defined as playing them directly on the machines.

Both games look a lot more blurry and less defined through OnLive.

I assume they look less defined because you're actually watching a live video stream of your game, instead of rendering it. It'll probably look better in the future once connection speeds increase. Also there is already an OnLive thread, could this not have just been posted as a reply to that?

Beaten like if you were playing TF2 on this [strike]shit[/strike]service.
