Portal and HalfLife 2 released for SHIELD
Nvidia has been working with Valve for months to bring a masterpiece PC game, Portal to SHIELD. Today, SHIELD owners can also download Half-Life 2 from Google Play, in addition to Portal. HalfLife 2 is the winner of over 50 Game of the Year awards, multiple Game of the Decade awards, and the highest rated PC game in history. It’s now available on SHIELD for $9.99. Each of these games requires a download of about 2GB each.
Nvidia is working hard to build a thriving ecosystem of games on the Android platform. Half-Life 2 and Portal join more than 300 SHIELD-supported Android games now available.

We are quite impressed with Android gaming on SHIELD and find the controller to be intuitive and precise, so far.
This editor is a Half-Life fan and is looking forward to playing the game on SHIELD (today!). Nvidia claims that their team paid careful attention to every detail to ensure that gamers get the full PC experience on Android. We will give ABT readers our impressions of the SHIELD controls and the gameplay to make sure that they are as precise and as natural as playing HalfLife 2 with the keyboard and mouse on PC.
