With that said I bet people are inclined to believe that it's OUYA optimized and can just be simply thrown on the console. Streaming with an optimized controller and having the entire game optimized for the system are two different things. Just throwing this out there.

I just played both games. Pretty impressive.

@RS: don't underestimate peoples intelligence ;)

I've had other means to play the LEGO games but haven't been interested but when I get to try something out then my opinion could change. I was just curious how well it and the other game worked for those that are interested because I'm hoping this Playcast company brings profits to OUYA. Anyway, I could see if AT&T provided the ability to cancel my phone and if they have faster Internet out here yet. It sucks paying for a phone I don't use to get Internet.

I am right with you buddy. And there is no way I am paying $60 extra dollars a month to play these games lol

Wtf!!! How much r these games D:
Can I push these to my console?

I don't have any real way to connect an ethernet cable to my OUYA without running a line through the house, so anything that runs on this service is something that I can't be a part of. That sucks, because if this move is any indication, I'm barred from playing any other impending AAA titles. Was this the thing that was coming down the pipeline that was hinted at when people were up-in-arms about the removal of free-to-try where Julie said that it was a good thing because we'd be seeing more from developers? It's pretty ridiculous to have anything be exclusionary on a product's hardware that's already been paid for. It isn't even a matter of ideology here which is usually what's being argued about, it's a poor logistical decision that segments the userbase.

This is not related to the dropping of free to try, this was in talked wayyy before that (oct 2013 I believe). Plus these games are currently FREE and will have a subscription later once they are done their trial testing. You cannot blame OUYA for another company's practices. On top of that, Most cloud services highly recommend-if not-require Ethernet connectivity. It would have been the same if OnLive was on here and still doing their original practices. These games are PC games that are translated to ouya controllers, that is it for the most part. You may see more AAA PC games come over, but it is extremely unlikely you will see actual Indie games going through that service, or android games going through that service.

EDIT: That being said, this is not something I will be able to partake in as I don't have cables, nor can afford them. Nor do I have a fast enough internet connection to utilize it, nor do I want to pay for it.

I'm pretty much in the same boat. Due to my house being quite old, I can only have the router in my kitchen which is obviously not my living room where my entertainment stuff is including the OUYA. I'm not buying a forty foot cord and having it run across the entire house coupled with the fact that I refuse to pay monthly for anything unless it's a necessity like my water bill, my gas bill, or my rent for example. Not only that but I have three very young adrenaline induced cats that are psychotic about cords and since me and my roommate leave those three for long periods of time due to working; like hell would I risk the chance of them getting electrocuted, ingesting that cord material, or suffocating amongst other things while we're away. If you can get this thing to work and have a nice setup that enables you to play these types of games in the first place then consider me a tad jealous.

However, as previously said I don't support subscription based gaming or anything that is an optional bill so also consider unamused. This is not for me by option and by force which is disappointing as I would have liked to finally see what all the hype was about surrounding the Lego series games. Hell, Splinter Cell: Conviction looks pretty cool too but it's not meant to be I guess.

Well if you consider this an alternative service to Onlive, then this was one of the goals since the Kickstarter. No surprise really. I saw the Onlive requirements of 4Mb minimum so I knew cloud games would be out for me. But I agree it still sucks Hugo...
