The popular Source games Half Life 2 and Portal have officially been ported to Android for $10 each, however at the moment the games are only supported on the Nvidia Shield. NVIDIA themselves have taken care of the port in-house.
Today, Valve Software and Nvidia launched ports of classic PC games Half-Life 2 and Portal on the portable, Android-backed Nvidia Shield game system. The launch follows a partnership announcement from the two companies in March, and while the original, announced plan was for Portal to launch by itself, Half-Life 2 showed up on the Google Play store today as well.
I assume this Shield-only support is temporary, however, since there is no touch control available at all on the games yet. As a Shield owner, I'm quite happy with these releases. I've yet to officially play them and I'll probably make a post in this thread or somewhere else with my thoughts on it later.
