I bought three games.  Two of them, Golf and Red Alarm state in the corner of
the box that they are in 3-D (believe me, they are!)  The third game,
Waterworld, I noticed is conspicusously lacking the 3-d label that the other
two games have.  In playing this game it appears to be in 3-d, but I can not
tell if this is due to motion parallax or true stereopsis (I hope I'm using the
correct terms).

BTW: Unless you really like the movie Waterworld, (I did, I've never laughed so
hard at a movie!) you don't have to rush out right now and buy the game.  Like
the movie it was inspired from, it's not that good.
