Taiwanese Cloud Gaming Company Partners With Google TV
Taiwanese cloud gaming company Ubitus is set to deliver console and MMO titles to Google TV.
Any smart TVs or set-top boxes with Google TV can access games from Ubitus. According to Engadget, promo material for the announcement shows Resident Evil 5, Lost Planet 2, and Super Street Fighter IV, but it's unknown at this time which games and publishers Ubitus has deals with – and whether there will be any content difference when it debuts in North America.
Ubitus says that gamers across different Google TV-enabled devices will get to play with/against each other, and that there will be some social media integration.
The company will be showing off its service this week at CES.

Correction: The original story stated that Ubitus was a Japanese company. This is incorrect. It is Taiwanese. We apologize for the error.
