While we might not get to play Half-Life 3 anytime soon, there’s something new from Valve nonetheless. The company along with NVIDIA has released Half-Life 2: Episode One on Android. However, the game is available exclusively on NVIDIA Shield tablets, thus making it unavailable for majority of Android users. And if the developer is anything to go by, we doubt it’ll make an appearance on other other hardware any time soon. Unfortunately, the game is incompatible with the older NVIDIA Shield console, since it’s Tegra 4 isn’t powerful enough to run the game. Also, the game requires a controller to play.
Features:
– A brand new episode for one of the best-selling and critically acclaimed action games of all time. Reveals new secrets.
– Incredibly advanced Artificial Intelligence powers the most sophisticated characters ever witnessed in a game.
– Physical Gameplay: Objects obey the laws of gravity, friction, and buoyancy. Explore new uses for the physics cannon.
– Powered by Source and featuring High Dynamic Range (HDR) lighting, Aftermath provides amazing gameplay settings.
Episode One brings new story and action and advances where Half Life 2 left. The game looks stellar and it seems like NVIDIA has taken full advantage of the newer and more powerful hardware on its tablets. The game costs $7.99, but for fans who’ve been waiting for a new Half-Life title for what seems like eons, it’s worth every penny. Grab the game from the link below.
