Nvidia has offered up quite a lot for their customers as of late. Alongside recent announcements regarding their new cloud streaming service, Grid, and Android Lollipop support for their Shield Tablet, the prominent PC and game manufacturing giant is launching the Half-Life 2 “Green Box.”
Nvidia’s Green Box is a bundle of Valve games, which includes Half-Life 2, Half-Life 2: Episode 1 (a new addition to the bundle), and Portal. In short, it’s a cut down version of Valve’s popular The Orange Box (which included the aforementioned games, as well as Half-Life 2: Episode 2 and Team Fortress 2).
The Green Box Bundle, in and of itself, is not too shabby a deal – especially considering that it will be free to anyone who purchases a 32GB Nvidia Shield Tablet.

Half-Life 2 Green Box Bundle Details
In addition to the games that come with the Green Box, Nvidia has also announced K1-optimized Android versions of OddWorld: Stranger’s Wrath, Strike Suit Zero, and Pure Pool that will be available for purchase on the Google Play Store.
Speculation has lead discussion about other Valve games being ported to and available for Nvidia Shield/Android devices, including games like Counter-Strike, Dota 2, Team Fortress 2, and Day of Defeat. However, that is simply rumor as of now, so keep that in mind.
In regards to the longevity of the Green Box promotion, Nvidia has confirmed it to be a temporary holiday bundle. However, the company hasn’t disclosed how long the promotion will actually last.
Regardless, it seems that Nvidia’s Green Box promotion is aiming to make green the new orange.
