This weekend's OnLive freebies are Dear Esther and more

OnLive isn't dead and is giving out four games this weekend.

Despite some, er, troubles last week, OnLive is still kicking, and still handing out free indie games for their Indie Weekend promotion.

This week's games are Dear Esther, Lume, Defense Grid Gold, and POP: Methodology Experiment One. Like last week, you'll have to click the appropriate link for your region (US, UK, or Belgium) and go through the redemption process multiple times to claim all of the games. Unlike last week, there's no Facebook challenge to get even more games next week, mostly because this is the last weekend of the promotion.

Some of the games given away might be more streaming-friendly than others. Dear Esther should certainly be playable with a bit of input lag. If you've been considering trying this game, now's as good a time as any.
