The third dimension is all the rage right now. Hollywood is hoping that it will save the theater industry despite the fact that it has always fizzled out in the past, and now, thanks to NVIDIA and Resident Evil 5, it looks like 3D PC gaming is going to be racking up another big name game. It's been confirmed that when RE5 hits on the PC this July it will feature support for NVIDIA's GeForce 3D Vision technology. Shnazzy, I know.
The 3D Vision technology will set you back around $200, but they do work on variety of games, though evidently some games work better than others. If you've been to a 3D movie recently you've probably put on a pair of glasses that work in much the same way. This isn't your father's 3D. No more blue and red images, just subtle shades of gray and a slight feeling of going crosseyed. I'm not sure if this makes up for PC gamers getting the game so late though. Wouldn't you rather have had even more extra content instead of a gimmick only a handful of people are able to use?

But "Resdient" Evil could be pretty cool with hoardes on not-zombies coming out of the screen at me.
Wait, that's not such a good thing.
Then again, maybe I'm just seeing the wrong movies in 3D.
I hope they pack some Aleve with the game.

Fucking 3d.
Only IF.
Or not.
Ergo, you'll need to upgrade your monitor to use them, and the 2 "Certified" monitors I read about when the glasses came out cost like $900-$1500 each. I am sure the price will go down, just something to keep in mind before you think "Oh, $200 isn't bad for kick ass 3D!"
Then again it is the "future of gaming" and you know how we all bought into the "next-gen" craze a few years ago with expensive Xbox 360s and PS3s consoles.
