If money and bandwidth wasn't a limitation, what game/s would you currently most want to
stream on your smartphone to play and please separately say why, for any game named.

hmm... like none? I mean if I was stranded on an island with only my phone with a connection to stream from my desktop PC... I still don't see how I could play the games I like, considering a game UI has to be designed for mobiles differently, so streaming the desktop setup wouldn't make sense.

I cannot think of a single one. I cannot think of any I would even want to stream to a tablet with its larger screen. Probably why I never understood the purpose of the shield hand-held and tablet.

none, I prefer to keep my 20/15 vision and only play on 24" screens, plus I don't have ADD or ADHD and need to be entertained at all times.

Any RPG that has an element of grinding to it would be super-convenient to stream to a handheld and leave it running itself leveling while I was at work (for example). Apart from that, nothing.

Stream to a shield or Vita type device with no lag or delay and then maybe.

Same here. "Streamed games" seems to be one of those fads that's almost completely marketing driven rather than actually market demanded in any noticeable quantity. Even if the technology is there, the ergonomics / UI / gameplay gap is massive enough you really wouldn't want to play most PC games on a 3.5-5" touch-screen. I'm also left bewildered at those who "stream" movies on a 4-10" screen when sitting in the same room as an unused 50" TV and comfy sofa. Do these people also cook all of their meals on a portable camping stove in the back garden instead of using their kitchen simply because "it's mobile, man..."? :biggrin:
