3D gaming (with glasses)

Hey guys

what games have you played in 3D (with glasses etc)

I just bought a lapy with 3d capability and came with the glasses and I tested BC2 last night and it was different (only played for approx 3 mins) but easier to play not 3D.

What other games have people tried?

Just Cause 2 looks ok in 3D.
I work in a pc store and 3D gaming has not taken off at all, I think I have had 3 customers come in saying they had 3D monitors and they all said they never use it!!
I tried 3D gaming for half an hour and walked away with a nasty headache.

3d gaming is a great gimik, but it's not great.. Is this on the comp?
I wouldn't mind playing some oldschool games like lost space in 3D using nvidias tech on a pc, but new ones... There is way too much happening to appreciate and utilize the 3d tech just yet.. If it's a racing game, then perhaps, but apart from that...

I have a 3DS, I play it in 3D a lot, we also have a 3D TV, but I wouldn't imagine playing 3D as much....for gaming, we only watch a few movies in 3D, but I almost prefer them not. I think that is gone nuts just to rip us off some more at the cinemas, there are only a few movies like Avatar that it worked for and the rest don't really need it.

I reckon everyone would be sick with something like Cloverfield or the blair witch project.

Is there a list available of 3D games/movies? I want to use my 46" 3D Bravia to its full potential

Not as many movies as you would think and they are double the price (usually $40 plus) of the normal version. Some like Megamind and Avatar are tied in with TV brands, so you can't get them until those deals end. The Panasonic/Avatar deal must be over soon though it was from last year. We got Tangled at half price during JBs 50% blu ray deal, and got Megamind free from Samsung recently with their promo.

I was playing Warcraft 3 last night and it started in 3D.
here is a link to compatible games if using the Nvidia 3D Vision stuff which came with my lappy.

Games which I've played extensively in 3D:
Half Life 2/Ep1/Ep2
Fallout 3 (can be too dark at times)

I really enjoy gaming in 3D. My main problem is I haven't bought a 3D monitor yet, so I don't 3D game as often as I'd like (either because my wife is using the TV, or cos I can't be stuffed lugging my pc into the loungeroom). I'm planning on doing some more sim racing on the tv in 3D, but have to complete my rig first.

I'm really looking forward to some Skyrim action in 3D but am going to need another graphics card first I'd say.
