In brief: Onlive is a cloud gaming service idea for people who do not own consoles or decent PCs. The games are streamed from a remote server, much like Netflix. A good internet connection is required for good results.
Right now they've got a promotional contest that coincides their release of an app that will let you use the client through your tablet. Check it out on facebook. 5 ipads will given away, plus a 20% discount on a game for entering the contest.
Personally, I've been using the service for about a year now with excellent results. They also offer excellent deals, usually comparable to Steam... occasionally better.
