Take that, PC hegemony!

Get thee to the downloadery for OnLive now works on Macs. You can download a small file to bring up the OnLive client and play Assassisn’s Creed and other exciting games.

As you recall, OnLive is essentially a game streaming engine for Macs and PCs. All of the heavy lifting happens in the cloud and the company simply streams audio and video to your desktop. Think of it as video-on-demand on crack.

I couldn’t find a way to sign up, but perhaps you’ll be luckier. Incidentally, while I’m intrigued I think this service will be a flop. Just my hunch.
