So is 3D gaming actually any good?

I have never played any video game in 3D but I feel like I should pick up a 3D TV so that I won't keep feeling like I am not getting the most out of my consoles.

But is 3D gaming really any good?

Also, I have a PS3 and 360 and I know the PS3 has a bunch of 3D stuff, but does the 360 have any 3D games?

Thanks for any input.

I don't have a 3D TV but i have a 3DS and i don't think it adds anything to gaming.

i have done 3d on pc and 3ds and it works great for the most part. for a zombie game it really helps u see how far they are from you. For a mario game it helps you see how big the gap is and so on.

I think it's pretty good when done right. I don't know about other systems but, to me it seems like the 3d works alot better in slower games.

I haven't played the 3DS, but I have played a few 3d PS3 games. Its a cool effect, but doesn't really add anything significant to the overall experience. I have yet to play a game in which 3d has any true effect on the gameplay. For some it may add to the overall presentation, but that's about it. Certainly not worth spending the big bucks on a 3dtv imo.

It's just a nice gimmick.

Adds just as much as HD does to gaming. It adds depth to games witch makes it more Emerson .

My brother has a 3D tv, but no glasses yet :(

We're looking forward to when he gets them though.

Not at the stage of 3D it barely does anything, not even in movies.

I've tried on PC and PS3, not the 3DS. So far it seemed a little gimmicky, sure it had its moments, but overall not the best experience. Personally I'll stick to 2D until current 3DTVs can overtake the picture quality of my current display.

It depends on the platform, game, and other hardware used. I liked some of the 3D games on PC and PS3, but the 3DS is the worst 3D i've ever seen and its no wonder that they're not selling. Overall I think it's just a fad that will pass.

Yeah it does especially on the PC, games show much more detail in 3D. It really does add another layer to the greaphics. But its not cheap, and you need a powerful rig. On the 3DS is not as nice and the 3D depth is not as noticeable.... it works, but its nothing like it is on the PC. Play Trine or RE5 and you will see just how awesome 3D really is.

I like it

3D is the only way i play Motorstorm Apocalypse, Crysis 2, COD:BO, Super Stardust HD, Socom 4, Killzone 3, Just Cause 2, Batman AA, and a bunch of other games. I cant wait to play the Ico/Shadow of Colossus upgrades in 3D. I bought two 3d hdtv's for my apartment and we have really enjoyed them.

3D on the 3DS is great. Really can give a game a whole new level of depth if use right.

Havent played alot of 3D games... I do have a 3DS, and watched some E3 vids of upcoming games on it... Super Mario / Luigis Mansion.... and HOT DAMN the 3D effect is AMAZING... love it. Can't wait for the day when every game on every platform is in 3D

Nothing more than a gimmick, much like a lot of the controllers and handhelds that we're seeing right now. It's not supposed to automatically make the experience better, especially if a game isn't very fun. I think that game manufacturers should worry more about the framerate and maintaining extremely good visuals more than 3D gaming, so that no harm is done to the gameplay itself.
