My preview yesterday about OnLive’s new tablet app focused on the controller, because it’s the crucial piece for playing a certain kind of game. But the cloud gaming company’s making a slew of titles playable by touch input as well.
There will be three kinds of input that OnLive will be implementing on tablets: native touch, a virtual control pad and Universal OnLive controller. The conversion work’s mostly being done by OnLive. The exception is with marquee title L.A Noire, which is being handled by Rockstar Games and hasn’t yet showed up in the OnLive Marketplace. Here’s the list of other titles that will be optimised for multiple control methods with OnLive’s new tablet app:
Defense Grid
Kingdom for Keflings
Bastion
Darksiders
Dirt 3
Lara Croft and the Guardian of Light
Warhammer 40K: Chaos Rising
Lego Batman
Lego HP 1-4
Lego HP 5-7
The Maw
Virtua Tennis 2009
Mini Ninjas
Flock
ARES Exctinction Operation
Space Chem
Steel Storm
Royal Envoy
4 Elements
The Ball
Osmos
Fishdom 2
Fishdom H20
Puzzle Chronicles 2
Puzzle Quest
Split Second
Future Wars
Cake Mania 3: Lights Camera Action!
Around the world in 80 days
Ancient Spirits
OnLive’s promising that this list will grow in the coming weeks, meaning that your favourite AAA or indie title may be available on an iPad soon.

And for the record, I work with computers all day so yes I do have the skills for PC gaming. But I rather spend the time enjoying games rather than research test and finally setting a configuration of hardware and software for games and working out what hardware device the DRM has an issue with.
