The technology has found its way onto Facebook (http://www.engadget.com/2012/04/11/gaikai-facebook-beta-application/) and in LG TVs (http://www.engadget.com/2012/01/11/lgs-gaikai-powered-cloud-gaming-service-hands-on/), and now Gaikai's bringing gaming to Samsung TVs, too. Called Samsung Cloud Gaming (SCG), it'll be available via the Smart Hub on Samsung 7000 series and up Smart TVs in the US this summer. The technology powering SCG is the same as what's behind LG's service, but Sammy's customized the UI to suit its sensibilities. We got a chance to speak with Gaikai CEO David Perry about his company's latest partnership, so join us after the break for more.
