Hi,
I've been using pocketcloud which allowed me to use my computer on the iPad. But, when I tried to open a game, say for example age of empires, the game wouldn't open. Is there a way to get a PC game streamed into the iPad?

Thanks in advance,
Raghu :)

Oh man, I wish!

I use Splashtop (a similar app) and it tells me that it is incompatible with any and all fullscreen apps. And given that the PC I'm running it on is getting on in years, it's already close to 90% CPU...I got it to open a GBA emulator and it crashed my system. :(

I actually tried this with counterstrike (using splash top) I was suprised of the way it ran, but the issues are that it's a bit slow at responding and well... Also the fact the I lack a wireless keyboard xP

But OnLive is working on a way to play their games on the iPad, and I believe steam is working with them. If all goes well you could be able to purchase steam or OnLive games and play em on the iPad! Once that happens I officially have a reason to drop my pc.
