It's nice but yeah, to offer some constructive criticism, I think in the process of the oversimplification it lost a couple of the identifying features, namely the Lambda conveys the "Half-life" theme, and the "squared" species it as HL 2. What this design does maintain is the curved shape that has become associated with games set in the engine Source, and more specifically in Half-life 2, you often see derived designs for mods and such that use the shape but change the symbols around to fit their own flavor.
For future iterations of this idea, or similar ideas, I would suggest starting with the core of the symbol (whichever one it is), and then figuring out what could be changed or thrown away.

Half-life on pause?
