Last Tuesday, NVIDIA launched the November SHIELD update with Android 5.0 Lollipop, The Green Box promotion, and a refreshed GRID service. Regarding the last part, which is a game streaming service, they also committed to adding at least one extra title per week. Now, seven days later, they pushed two titles to the service: Psychonauts and Red Faction: Armageddon.
While I have never played Red Faction: Armageddon, I did purchase Psychonauts for the Xbox and, later, the PC. It is a fun, linear narrative about kids in a summer camp that specializes in telekinetic/telepathic education for gifted individuals. If you have a SHIELD device, and you are able to play it on GRID, try it. Like it or not, it's free and does not require an installation.
As will be the case until June 30th, access to the service is free for owners of the SHIELD and SHIELD Tablet. Future titles are expected to be announced on Twitter via the “#GRIDTuesday” hashtag. We will probably have a news post about them, too.
Psychonauts was fun, however
Psychonauts was fun, however there was an unofficial HUD fix that made using a controller better.

Waiting on competative pc
Waiting on competative pc style games, mobas (why not dota 2?) and things of such quality. Things pc gamers play.
Streaming ain’t the best for many people still and these things can totally do it, in theory. And by that I mean they hold together in one piece.
I know that we’re halfway
I know that we’re halfway there already with Steam, UPlay, Origin, etc., but cloud gaming is really the ultimate DRM. 100% gamer restriction. No mods, no custom tweaks, no preferences, no cheats/hacks (good or bad), no freedom. Total and complete lockdown by publishers and developers.
It’s a hard choice to make, but I think I’m going to make the switch to GoG while I still can.
I feel the same way but
I feel the same way but cannot tag steam in that same category.
When steam first started, even on my dial-up internet and it’s first buggy version I was very happy with what it is and does. Despite little hiccups it’s a really amazing company that has done more for PC gaming than I could of imagined already. We never had access to PC games here till’ Steam for a long time.
I definitely agree. They can
I definitely agree. They can pull your access at any point and completely dictate how you play while you're there. On the other hand, they are good for occasions when you just want to consume entertainment of some genre.
Ideally, if you like a title, you would buy it on GOG to preserve it. If this replaces ownership, however, then that is a serious problem for society.
it would be interesting to
it would be interesting to find a trick to run nvidia shield’s games like half life 2 on a simple Android device
for those who didn’t played
for those who didn’t played this wonderful game, this may be the opportunity to try it and have a powerful tablet at the same time
