About this game

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.

needs to be played on a pc. I bought a shield for the media streaming but when I saw my favourite PC game crop up on here I thought I'd have to have a go. the graphics look good but trying to control it with this silly controller.... it's just not right it's supposed to be played with a mouse and keyboard. the controller is slow awkward and inaccurate . I used to play this game on hard setting on a PC.but on this i have to put it on easy . to overcome the cumbersome controller. very poor

Couldn't wait to buy this game only to discover the "invert camera" option is broken. This is very disappointing as a lot of people rely on this feature when playing shooters. Game looked great in the little I was able to play. I'll update when this is fixed.
