Anyone with an old ass PC (like mine... 2003 WinXP w/Pentium 4 2.8Ghz, 1GB RAM, and Intel graphics) that wants to play new PC games, check out this site: onlive The games run on a server, and the audio/video is streamed to your PC, and the controls are relayed back to the server... There can be latency (lag) issues if your internet is not at least 5mbps DL and 512kbps UL, but usually not noticeable... Wifi can also cause a little lag, so if possible, use a wired connection... You get a free 30 minute trial (with quite a few different games available for the trial, but many more if you pay... I played Bioshock for a half hour), but after that, you can either buy each game that you want or pay $10 a month for access to the complete library (about 50-75 games right now, but they add more quite often)... Oh yeah, its also available on Androids and iDevices as well, but theyll play games made for those devices, not PC games (Im assuming anyway, since theres no mouse and keyboard to control with)... And you can buy an OnLive console to hook up to a TV for $100, which comes with an Xbox One-esque controller, but also supports USB mouse/keyboard...
