Everything you listed is interactive realtime or near-realtime graphics
intensive. A cloud is not really suited to that kind of task to begin
with. And you appear to be additionally attempting to find out if you
could use an *existing* cloud (for example Amazon EC2) to do it -
meaning not only are you talking about an architecture that isn't really
suited to the problem, you are talking about putting it behind *SLOW*
network connections to boot.
Never-mind how *fast* a cloud is (or is not), you can't move the
rendered bits back and forth to a desktop over a remote network
connection at any kind of sane speed.
