There is a new debut app from a dev named, Jean-Sebastien Royer, available on the app store, and it has a very intriguing concept. The app is called "Kainy", and it allows you to remotely stream your PC-games on your Android smartphone or tablet using Wi-Fi, 3G, or 4G. At first blush it's easy to spot that the big problem with this idea is that the various games on PC's have an infinite variety of control schemes. Luckily, Jean-Sebastien Royer accepted this challenge and created a brilliant way around it. Built into "Kainy" is a completely customizable control scheme system, that even includes around 100 custom preset control schemes, including accelerometer controls where those could function properly.

In fact, Kainy even allows you to connect a Bluetooth keyboard for extra options, and the app offers 128-bit authentication/data encryption. Finally, the dev shares on his website that weekly updates are a priority for him which could mean great things for the potential of this app. You can find the app for $5.04 in the Google Play Store. Here are some links below and a demo video above.

I love playing PC games but my three 27" 3D Vision surround monitors always make me dizzy and I hate the sound of those 3-way SLI GTX580 , this application is just perfect, now I can sit on my sofa away from my PC and play games

If they make you that dizzy, I'll gladly take them off your hands

it's a pretty cool idea but streaming games? I've tried this on remote desktop connections before and it always works like crap. Wonder how he makes it smooth.http://www.droidforums.net/forum/newreply.php?p=2054777&noquote=1

Remote desktop is laggy itself because it uses a virtual desktop on the client-side. If this just streams video playback and the control data without having to emulate too many things it should work on most phones.

Super nice. Seems like this would be great on an Xperia Play too.

I don't play games on my PC, but this looks super awesome.
