[![OnLive E3 blowout includes gaming on LG Google TVs, oneclick inbrowser gaming and ingame live spectating][1] ][2]

OnLive [launched in the summer of 2010][3] streaming games to PCs or Macs, and now two years later it has returned to E3 feeling pretty good about the state of cloud gaming and its place in it. Among a series of announcements going out are news that it will be demonstrating gaming on smart TVs for the first time on [LG's G2 Google TVs][4] with support for up to four [universal OnLive controllers][5] at once. The Google TV viewer app [has been out][6], although OnLive gaming has been closely tied to Vizio's upcoming Google TV models in the past while LG [showed off Gaikai access][7] at CES. It's not available on retail units yet, but is expected to be added in a software update, with an eye towards adding support for [Cinema 3D][8] gaming later on. At the same time it's rolling out an update to its in-browser gaming clients that lets publishers and retailers launch players into games without creating a login.

Finally, we've got the new [OnLive][9] MultiView feature that lets players see the video stream of another player without exiting their own session. As suggested in the press release (all are included after the break), it can let you check in on a friend's game as it happens, or even see from a teammate's perspective during a co-op match. That feature is currently in closed beta and is set to launch later this year, read on for all the details about what OnLive is up to and a list of games coming soon that includes _Darksiders II_, _Civilization V: Gods and Kings_ and more.
