NVIDIA adds more games to SHIELD, including Half-Life 2, Episode 2

With the expected influx of gamers purchasing the new NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV console, the gaming and hardware outfit has seen it best to expand the collection of games you can play specifically designed for NVIDIA SHIELD hardware – whether the SHIELD Portable, the SHIELD Tablet, or the aforementioned console. We feature four of these new games for your spanking new NVIDIA SHIELD TV console.

The first is definitely a classic – this is Valve’s follow up to the widely praised and genre-defining Half-Life 2, which is “Half-Life 2, Episode 2”. The game still follows the storyline from its predecessor, and adds new elements like new weapons, new vehicles, and new creatures to kill. At USD$7.99 via the SHIELD Hub app, this is definitely a gaming staple.

Then NVIDIA also introduces three new puzzle games, all with gorgeous graphics and gameplay. First up is “Q.U.B.E. Director’s Cut”, a delightful and visually rich take on your “match-the-blocks” formula. Second is the quirky puzzle game called “Never Alone” – built with insight from Alaskan natives and garnered awards at the 2014 gaming tiffs. Last is the highly addictive “Funk of the Titans” – a platformer that is fun to play but very difficult to master.

There are over 100 games available for NVIDIA SHIELD gaming gear via the SHIELD Hub app, curated specifically for these platforms. Plus, there are over 200 via the Google Play Store. NVIDIA SHIELD gear truly looks to be good investments if you’re hardcore like that.
