Los Angeles, Calif. (E3 Expo, 2012) ? June 5, 2012 ? OnLive, Inc., the pioneer of on-demand cloud gaming, is demonstrating the OnLive? Game Service on the next-generation LG Smart TV with Google TV (G2 Series) from LG Electronics at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) here this week.

Capitalizing on the power of LG?s L9 dual-core processor, the service would make hundreds of top-tier video games from more than 60 publishers playable on-demand, without a console or PC. When the service becomes available, LG G2 TV owners will also enjoy free instant access to exclusive OnLive social features such as worldwide massive spectating, the brand-new OnLive MultiView spectating capability, Brag Clip? video recording and Facebook sharing.

Previews of the OnLive LG TV experience will be shown publicly for the first time at OnLive Booth #535, South Hall at the Electronic Entertainment Expo from June 5-7 in Los Angeles. Select 3D games, using the popular LG CINEMA 3D glasses, are planned for a future software update.

With just a few taps of the Universal OnLive Wireless Controller or any compatible game controller, LG G2 TV owners will be able to jump in and play OnLive?s growing library of hundreds of top-tier, console-class video games on-demand. Instant demos are available for nearly every game?from eagerly anticipated indie titles like Ravaged to hot blockbusters such as the upcoming Darksiders? II?so players can experience up to 30 minutes of each game free before deciding what to buy, and then continue playing where the demo left off.

Games can be purchased a la carte, or players can subscribe to OnLive?s revolutionary PlayPack subscription service for unlimited on-demand play of more than 220 games, with more titles added weekly. When players are away from their OnLive LG TV, all of their OnLive games are available?with full game saves and achievements?on almost any PC or Mac?, tablet or smart phone wherever there is broadband, whether in a different room in the house, or in a different country in the world.

In addition to instant-action gameplay, an OnLive Game Service account enables users to watch millions of gamers from around the world play live in the massive spectating Arena, voice chat with other players and spectators, capture Brag Clip videos of their best and worst gameplay and share their gaming exploits with friends on Facebook.

Exclusive to OnLive, users can now even spectate and chat with friends and teammates in OnLive?s new MultiView mode while continuing to play their own game, adding an engaging new social dimension to OnLive gaming. With MultiView, gamers will not only be able to take co-operative tactics to all-new levels by virtually looking over their teammates? shoulders as they play, but also keep tabs on friends in any single player or multiplayer game in play on the service.

?LG Google TV?s superior performance, coupled with OnLive?s innovative games-on-demand service, unleashes powerful new entertainment possibilities for gaming enthusiasts,? said Georg Rasinski, Director of Home Entertainment Brand Management, LG Electronics USA. ?Cloud gaming complements the virtually limitless content options already available through our exciting G2 series TVs.?
