Sony is going to use the making of 3D video games to it`s advantage to help sell their 3D TV`s. With the start of 3D video gaming, they believe that it will really help their sales.

Sony, for one, has a vested interest in seeing 3-D television succeed. The electronics maker sells 3-D Bravia LCD TVs, as well as PlayStation 3 video game systems.

Its game studios also have several 3-D-compatible video games in the works.

The latest, Killzone 3 in 3-D, comes out today on PS3 for $60. This space combat game pits the player as part of a squad of humans combating an alien force called the Helghast.

Killzone 3 in 3-D "gives you the illusion that you are literally there, on the front line and in the middle of the fight," says Hermen Hulst, co-founder of the game's development studio, Guerrilla Games, based in Amsterdam.

Crysis 2: Developed by Crytek, it can be played in 3-D on PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 with a 3-D HDTV.

"For a developer like us that is always trying to make experiences as immersive as possible, it's very much a natural extension," he says.
