GDC 2009 is underway and the biggest news to come out of the annual event has been the announcement of an online service known as OnLive. This “revolutionary” service intends to bring gaming to masses without downloads and without any installations.  Through the power of an internet connection OnLive intends to stream gaming goodness direct to your TV or PC regardless of hardware specification.

Vehicle combat in a raid instance is new to the WoW raiding scene and is sure to mix things up, there have been many concerns on the offical forums about vehicle combat but any fight with a mechanohog is cool in my books.
