We're no stranger to cloud gaming services 'round these parts -- we covered OnLive's brush with death (http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/18/onlive-abc-assignment-for-the-benefit-of-creditors/) and subsequent rebirth (http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/19/onlive-officially-announces-asset-acquisition/)and Sony's acquisition of Gaikai (http://www.engadget.com/2012/07/02/sony-buys-gaikai/). Meanwhile, Playcast has been growing on its own, working on deals with US content distributors (http://www.engadget.com/2012/09/26/cable-iptv-providers-reportedly-testing-cloud-based-hd-gaming-f/), and now the company is set to roll out its gaming platform Stateside early next year. We got a chance to see Playcast's service and chat with VP of Corporate Development, Meir Freidlander and VP of R&D Yuval Noimark about their business, so join us after the break to see what the company has in store for us in 2013.
