Games like Trine 2 and Half Life were pre installed in the device and now Half Life 2  Episode One is available for those  who own a Shield tablet . The App on its own costs $7.99 but if you happen to own a Shield tablet with LTE ($399) the game is available free for download . The app is 2.65GB and it is recommended you have a separate controller for moving around  . The game is sadly not available to users who own older Tegra devices powered by the Tegra 3 and Tegra 4 processors which include the Tegra Shield portable .

So you want a beast of a gaming tablet, but don’t want to sacrifice data connectivity? Well then Nvidia has something that’s right up your alley. They just announced that they will be releasing the Tegra Note 7 LTE. The slate packs an i500 LTE chip, and a cellular radio that will be compatible with Verizon, T-Mobile, AT&T, and Orange, Vodafone, and O2 in Europe. Nvidia promises that the antenna will also support other “popular carriers across the world.” The Tegra Note 7 LTE won’t be hitting stores until Q2 2014, but it will be packing Android 4.4.2 Kit Kat out of the box when it makes its debut. If you own the WiFi only model of the tablet, you can go ahead and update it right now with the most recent OTA update. In addition to sporting 4.4.2 and all of its features, Nvidia has packed in a port of their Shield’s Gamepad Mapper application. GSMArena

The first thing you’re going to need to understand about the tablet called NVIDIA Tegra Note is that it’s not going to be released like SHIELD – it’s headed to market like an NVIDIA graphics card would. This tablet will be brought to market by hardware hard-hitters like EVGA and PYN Technologies, taking Project KAI to a proverbial new level with what NVIDIA describes as a “complete platform” rather than “just the hardware” as the original Nexus 7 was (essentially). And we’ve seen this device before, in an early teaser at Computex – we spotted you, you sneaky beast! This machine works with a 7-inch display up front – it’s made to be the next step in the Kai line of tablets both at first glance and once you’re grabbing your pocketbook. It too will cost right around $199 USD, as the original Kai tablet was teased with. Under the hood you’ve also got the NVIDIA Tegra 4 quad-core processor, more than just one-upping the original Google Nexus 7 with the same SoC as is found in NVIDIA SHI...
