Motorstorm 3-D Rift is up for sale in the Playstation Store. Just downloaded it and played for a while. Really fantastic 3D in it. Great depth and overall pop. Makes a great impression and gives you a nice sense of what's to come in 3-D gaming.

One thing that keeps getting lost in the current stereoscopic craze is that 3D is just a tool. Always has been and always will be. It doesn't need to be applied to everything the same way that 7.1 sound doesn't. It's there to help you tell your story if that's what you choose. But you don't have to choose it. Seems to me that some unfortunate creative decisions are being made out of financial desperation simply because of the increased revenue 3D seems to bring in thanks to inflated ticket sales. As for how successfully 3D will transition to home viewing, I honestly don't know. I've seen a few demos of 3D content and none of them have wowed me to the point of wanting to buy a 3D set-up myself. But I'm also not willing to just blindly jump on the "3D sucks" bandwagon and ignore the possibilities, which I intend to explore a bit over the next couple of years.
