About Half-Life 2

NOTE: Half-Life 2 for Android requires a controller to play and runs exclusively on NVIDIA SHIELD portable, SHIELD tablet, and SHIELD Android TV. For more information on SHIELD, please check out http://shield.nvidia.com
As featured in SHIELD Hub and with over 50 Game of the Year Awards and a the highest MetaCritic score of any PC game, Half-Life 2 is one of the most celebrated and best selling games of all time.

Winner of multiple Game of the Decade Awards, Half-Life 2 offers a startling level of realism and responsiveness, opening the door to a world where the player’s presence affects everything around him, from the physical environments to the behaviors – even the emotions – of both friends and enemies.

The player again picks up the crowbar of research scientist Gordon Freeman, who finds himself on an alien-infested Earth being picked to the bone, its resources depleted, its populace dwindling.


• Digital Actors: Experience the most sophisticated in-game characters ever witnessed.
• Advanced AI: Friends and foes assess threats and fashion weapons from what is at hand.
• Stunning Graphics: Incredibly realistic environments and special effects.
• Physical Gameplay: Objects obey the laws of gravity, friction, and buoyancy.


Play it on NVIDIA SHIELD.

My Afterglow Xbox 360 controller didn't work with this game so I had to root my device, install 2 apps, and download a file, and then replace my "Generic" controller .kl file with the official one to fix a spinning camera problem. This issue is really old and should be fixed. Thankfully the Talos Principle didn't have this issue. Also, I have to turn off the Wi-Fi when i play this game, because it tries and fails to download something. Even getting it to work, it is very difficult to aim quickly.

When I saw footage for this game back in 2003, my mind was blown how could a game look and play this good, I had an Xbox, ps2 and GameCube I was a console guy I knew jack about PC games unless they were ported to consoles, I didn't know half-life 2 was coming to Xbox as of lack of Internet and I didn't waste money on magazines, my friend phoned me telling me he got it and I rushed to my nearest store to buy it and I loved it. Now the shield version is a great version I've played it on all shields.

No idea why but cannot start any game... Will load up the title and let me adjust everything but will not let me play... Portal works fine... Not great considering I paid for it and its exclusive to nsp!?

Each time I go to play this game every few months it redownloads over 2GB of data and loses my save game. Garbage. Don't waste your money.

B70%
by B####:

One of my favorite games and now I can play it anywhere. I do get pretty low frame rate in big outdoor areas and when there is a lot of stuff happening but other than that the game works great :-). Also would like to see other games on the shield like half life 1, original doom and doom 2, BioShock, borderlands 2 could probably run natively because its on the vita, bro force, hotline Miami 1& 2, left for dead might be able to run with a lot of optimization, Monaco, and splinter cell chaos theory

This game is Half-Life 2. That should be enough reason for you to throw your monies at this gem.

But, what do you mean by, bad version nobody should be testing? I refer to the change log.

Loved the series on the PC, was looking forward to playing on my Nvidia tablet and I know it supports the official Nvidia controller but this needs the sixaxis app support...then it'd be a perfect 5

First, the positives: Game looks great. Now for the bad stuff: Load times are excruciating, game expects you to use a controller but there is no aim assist (necessary for controller FPS) and, worst of all, the game is laggy and stuttery to the point of unplayability. A disgrace to the Half-Life legacy. Played on an NVIDIA SHIELD Tablet K1

HELP At the start of the game after you pile the boxes, behind the door is a f*cking brick wall. Did I pay 10$ for the demo? Jesus.
