Not anything new for PC gamers. I just finished up Metro 2033 in 3D,  the game engine already works flawlessly with nvidia 3D vision.
 
Brad is totaly right in his assumption.  Looking through the gas mask, the dark long corridors, laser sighted weapons,  no HUD, and horror atmosphere make it the best 3D game I've played so far. (batman AA close 2nd, Bad Company 2 3rd).   Haters gonna hate, but 3D is a perfect fit for these horror, tense, atmospheric games.

I recently picked up Metro 2033 at 50% off (2 weekends ago),  and got mirrors edge last weekend for 4 bucks.  
 
Unless they want to put alien breed on sale for like 5 bucks I think I'm good on steam sales for a bit.

 Bring on the FUTURE!
Why are people complaining about moving to fast??  Dude, I want faster, I wanna see the holodeck before I die. I want to see full eye tracking, freaking holograms, sharks with laser beams, invisible cloth, light speed travel, the matrix, dick tracy watches, whatever.   For fucks sake why slow down, bring on the future.     Same goes for all this 3D stuff, bring it on, its an evolutionary process, first we had b/w photos, then color, the, b/w 2D video, then color, then red blue 3D, the polarized 3D, then the virtua boy, now we are at the next step.  With out this step how are we ever going to get to the holodeck!

"Simply strike the air"   -  That gave me a good chuckle
 
And what the hell is with that site ( website )  you all linked to, straight ripping off the GB feed???? 

I love how the haters are also the uninformed morons that went and saw Clash of the Titians in 3D.   I'll be blunt and say that in this day and age if you saw the shitty 3D version of Clash of the Titains, YOU ARE THE PROBLEM!  Be an educated consumer, know what you are giving your money for.    One simple google search for  "clash of the titans 3D" and you get a long list of sites ranting "Filmed in 2D!, NOT WORTH THE MONEY, 3D conversion was farmed out to lowest bidder in India, bubble faced men, ect and ect", even news channels were mentioning it.     
 
The sad truth is those sly marketing techniques worked on your dumbass and now you are looking back and blaming them when all they did was the very things business are designed to do, take your money!  Be aware of what you pay for.  After all when you pay for something you only encourage them to do it again.  
 
3D movies can be cool (I've seen avatar only and it had some cool 3D scenes), but 3D games are a completely different thing.  Movies you see the 3D images but have zero control, you are taken where they want you to go.  Games are modeled 3D environments and you have complete control of the character and camera. This alone makes a big difference in the immersion and way you experience a game.   Granted this is a niche type of gamer, if you don't like 3D, or are all about k/d ratios and competitive crap you probably won't like the extra depth.  But if you are even slightly interested in 3D movies, or like immersive game worlds, or in general are a graphics whore (I am!), at somepoint give a 3D game a chance.   And don't do a moron move and pick the shittiest red/blue glasses pack-in game with 3D! in the title, I am talking full on shutter glasses with Batman AA, Bad Company 2 or some other AAA title.
 
The biggest thing, it is OPTIONAL!!  Like how surround sound is optional, or eating candy, or listening to howard stern, IF you don't like it DON'T DO IT.     No one is forcing anyone to buy the equipment, let alone watch something in 3D, yet everyone talks like they are.

3D Gaming >>>> 3D movies

This man speaks the truth. It was probably bound to be Activision anyway, as they (essentially) just lost their #1 fps developer. People are acting like Activision bought Bungie, which is entirely not true. "

They had to sign with someone, so is this really that crazy? More like it just caught us all off guard.   In the end it was it was either going to be Activision or EA.  I guess Activision made the best offer.
