Crysis 2

Looking for a fun game similar to Call of Duty, then definitely check Crysis 2. Saw major improvements compared to when I was in the beta on xbox 360. Graphics look great and the 3D works. Thanks to a gamestop employee who told me to take a test drive on a retail copy. The audio he pointed out was amazing in suround sound with the music. Going to try to take his advice and try it again with the music off with surround on. The campaign is to be about 13hrs long and the multiplayer is fun too and plenty of people to play against. Check it out 5 out 5.

Setup of 3D on the PS3 from IGN

Important! You need to upgrade to a high speed hdmi. The normal hdmi will not work. You will see on the package high speed and most likely something about 3D capable or 4k= 4 x 1080p. I recently got a 46 inch bravia from BestBuy 240hz and recommend the hdmi cable form SONY with gold plating 10.2 GBps which I got from Walmart for $34.99. I tried another brand for $14.99 but the picture was coming in darker. You may experiment with more expensive cables to get the picture your looking for.

This video really helps because the 3d tv did not tell you how at all... Kind of messed up if you ask me. This is probably WHY we see reviews out there about people not getting the quality out of their tv and returning them. (PS I was feeling the pain til I researched online too). Also recommend adjust your display settings to get the best picture for your room. Motionflow using Smooth to get that 240hz part going for non 3d movies. (You will see 24p with 1080p when you push display to check and obviously you will see the difference on your blu ray movies).

The tv I purchased is a SONY bravia 46hx800
