I thought this would be a good sticky post to show a list of all the games you have tested to work streaming through your PC.

If you launch the Steam client you can launch other games that are not on the verified list.

Borderlands 2
Call of Duty Black Ops 2 Mulitiplayer
Dishonered
Skyrim
Metro: Last Light
Dead Island
Civilization 5 (but so far I have had to use the screen to move the mouse)
Xcom: Enemy Unknown (works but cannot figure out how to use controls correctly)
Arma III (launches but looks terrible, so I didn't test thoroughly)
Farcry 3 (runs perfect!)

How about a list of controller games that *DON'T* work (which is more useful to me anyway)

* Super Meat Boy
* BIT.TRIP RUNNER
* AudioSurf
* Euro Truck Simulator 2
* PixelJunk Eden: Crashes if I push the center Menu button while loading. If it makes it through, doesn't recognize the Shield controller, even when I the game with an xbox controller on.
* Sleeping Dogs: Stopped streaming on load if game options was set to 1080. Setting the game display options to 720 made it work.
* Borderlands 1: Splash screen stops streaming, upset about drivers - must click OK on PC

(Serious Sam 3 is now working for me... no idea why)

(Thanks to anyone who posts that I copy and paste to keep a single list up here)

PixelJunk Eden: Crashes if I push the center Menu button while loading. If it makes it through, doesn't recognize the Shield controller, even when I the game with an xbox controller on.

Sleeping Dogs: Stopped streaming on load if game options was set to 1080. Setting the game display options to 720 made it work. Don't know what the Xbox 'back' button is mapped to though.

Works
XCOM: Change the control options to Xbox. Everything works perfect.
Trials Evolotion: Survives the Uplay login. A tad mushy so not for speed runs.
Bejeweled 3: Only touch screen mouse works. Bit tough to control but works.

Android Games
GTA 3 & 4: Both work really well, all controls map to original ones. Go into options and change left stick and driving to analog and turn on all graphics/draw distance.

Borderlands (1): I get an error message about a driver but after clicking okay on the actual computer, the game will load (I also had to disable the splash screen because it kicks you out of streaming)

I'll add it to the list at work, there are a few games which aren't detecting the controller properly, so they'll all likely fix together.

I keep seeing "evobunny" and can't help but think of an HTC EVO-wielding playboy bunny...

Working great for me

I've tried most of the games that are listed as supported on Nvidia's website and all are working pretty well for me. As far as tech goes, i'm not even using a 'supported' router:

N600 Belkin Dualband
2x Gtx 650 ti boosts
PC has Netgear A6200 dualband wireless device it uses too

I've tried a few other things that aren't supported though, they're a pain in the ass to work with a bit but still work regardless. I can get anything running through steam that's a non-steam added app. I tried a DS emulator and unfortunately it won't recognize the controls of the Shield but I can use the touch screen to select various things with the mouse pointer. I also connected an xbox 360 remote directly to the Shield through a mini usb to usb 2.0 converter and it recognized that perfect, it mirrors whatever Shield's controls are. The greatest thing about that is you can use the Shield as a console and connect through your HDMI and play whatever with that wireless controller.

Unless your like me and already have your PC hooked up to your TV...and then all it's good for is some android games and selecting movies and such.

Mirror's Edge: Works perfect, and for some reason the smaller screen makes me less car sick when playing it.
Skulls of the Shogun: Works. Also has it's own zoom attached to LT/RT.

Doesn't recognize controller
BurnOut Paradise, Ultimate: Works if you attach a controller to the PC.
Renegade Ops: ditto.
