OnLive on the Kindle Fire - WOW WOW WOW WOW WOW!

Jessica Lares · 12-09-2011, 02:44 AM

Just wow. Just played this game called The Maw on it. FLIPPING AMAZING! You guys need to go and grab the APK and check it out all the games they have that are mainly big console titles. It's a total battery killer, but it's so worth it!

Yep, that's the one! And people STILL think the Kindle Fire is a joke?! This isn't even on the iOS store yet and has NO CHANCE of staying there once it goes live.

Actually, this came out on iOS yesterday (12-7). Whether it stays there remains to be seen.

No it didn't. That's the viewer, not the player.

Oh I see. Who wants to watch other people play games? That's just stupid. It'll get there eventually.

I don't get it either, haha. Then again, I like watching walkthroughs people post on YouTube.

Can you tell me a simple way to just grab the apk and put it in my dropbox to install it on my Fire? I usually just install an app on my phone, back it up, then put the backup file in dropbox. Can I download this onto my phone directly from that link? It gave me a "Save As" popup when I clicked it on my Fire and I chickened out and cancelled.

Should I have just said "ok" and let it go?

Hmm, really? I have no idea... I've never had a Save As pop up. Just usually install it from the notifications.

I'll go try it again. I'll be right back...

Okay, I tried it again, the box came up and I clicked okay. The the notification section said "Download unsuccessful." When I clicked for details it said "the size of the download cannot be determined."

No big deal, I don't play a lot of games anyway. It just looked interesting. Thanks for the tip, though!

Same problem here.

Bleh. OnLive.

I like the concept, but I've tried it on iOS and Android and there's just too much lag for my tastes.

I downloaded the app, tried to play a game, but too much pixelation.
