LAS VEGAS — Are people really ready to don funny glasses to watch three-dimensional television in their homes? The answer is a resounding "yes," according to the electronics and entertainment industries.
A technology developed in the 1920s, 3-D has often been ignored or ridiculed. For years it was used in cheesy monster movies or similar B-movies and required viewers to wear cheap, eye-straining plastic glasses.
"3-D has had a bumpy ride," Samsung America President Tim Baxter acknowledged.

Silent Hill: Shattered Memories
For: Nintendo Wii
From: Climax/Konami
ESRB Rating: Mature (blood, drug
reference, language, sexual themes,
violence)
It's always exciting when a game like "Silent Hill: Shattered Memories" takes complete liberty not only with the franchise that bore it, but also the system on which it runs.
It's also a downer when problems that have regularly haunted the franchise creep in yet again and debilitate the mood to a potentially eject button-pressing degree.
"Memories" purports to re-imagine the original "Silent Hill" game by resurrecting its main character and introductory plot. Harry Mason has once again awoken in a snowbound town after a car accident knocked him unconscious, and once again, his daughter has mysteriously disappeared.
