Perry announced on his blog that they now have Mass Effect 2, The Sims 3, Dead Space 2, Spore and Second Life all up and running and playable through the service.
The aim is to use Gaikai to embed instantly playable demos of games directly into advertising allowing players to be able to try games out instead of being wowed by screenshots and fancy trailers.
Perry wrote: "At the Game Developers Conference in our meetings we will show some really high-end, high-performance games running at 60hz with no work needing to be done by the publishers / developers. We have it live and working in 12 countries across 24 data centers. Our main focus however is our Advertising strategy, where we can put any game anywhere on the web. Our objective has been to empower publishers and retailers to give gamers what they keep asking for."
