EGX 2019 played host to an array of massive upcoming titles. But the indie games showcased an incredible multitude of games. Here are 5 to keep an eye out for!

Dean Takahashi of VentureBeat writes: "OnLive has teamed up with British game retailer Green Man Gaming to resell subscriptions for OnLive’s cloud-gaming subscription service. The deal is the first of its kind in which a game retailer resells OnLive’s online bundles of games delivered via web-connected data centers, or the cloud."
Waste of time here ATM
top tier looses its meaning
I'm in the UK and I've been using it for almost a year (I think). I think it's great apart from the resolution not being so good as having the game on your HD. But I agree that it won't really catch on here while the average broadband speeds are only around 6mb/s and most people still have monthly download limits. Maybe 5 years or so ahead of it's time here.
I just tried it. Okay i'm only on crappy 3mb DSL, but even ignoring that blatantly bad quality, input lag was absolutely terrible. My ping is usually 30ms in most games, but this.. it was just unplayable.
I'm tempted to take a look at this if its free to sign up. I've only got 5mb ADSL though so if the quality is as bad i'm constantly hearing I don't think i'll even go as far as signing up for free.
