Onlive Compatible Games For Smartphones

Just wondering what games on OnLive are compatible with smart phones, I don't have a controller that connects to my phone so only option is to just use touch screen.

I thought that all you need is their free App to access your games:

You do know can only view the games as spectator, not actually play them?

Been playing Lego Batman on my Galaxy Tab, love it!

There's an icon next to games with touch screen support is there not? Or you can get the universal controller to make em all work.

that's all that's available for iOS at the moment, on android there's a player available as well - should be out for iOS at some point but surprise surprise apple are getting funny about it

I think there are two sub-sets of games, ones that have been ported to allow touch control and ones that need the physical controller

What universal controller? It's a shame they don't do an adapter for XBOX 360 controllers to plug into the phone.

You can apparently get a PS3 controller working with a little bit of effort.

Shame the universal controller is different from the controller that comes with the microconsole - put me off using it if they're going to use scummy tactics!
