After you calibrate them they are fine... I wore them for hours.
First let me say the effect is ubelievable... It is truely impossible to emphasize in words how realistic the image is! If you slide your chair back four feet from your screen, the image will truely pop out to three and a half feet!
Now with that said, you must know that it is impossible to play games with the same level of skill with these! The problem is your crosshairs are put in a plane about 2 inches off your screen, well, thats not where your shot lands! There is just no good way to plot the crosshairs of a 2d item in a 3d scene.
So if you have the money to burn, it is an amazing "trick" and will absolutely make everyone that sees it say WOW. However... It is a trick that wares thin after a week or so.

a review where they used PS
PlanetSide - This game looked amazing with the glasses. The world itself had the same quality of what I saw in Anarchy Online, with only minor setbacks to game play. Your weapon seems to be rendered on screen twice, or "split". You will also find it takes some getting used to aiming. This is because your default aiming crosshair is rendered in the 2D space and your targets are in 3D. The drivers support a 3D aiming crosshair, but we could not get it to appear in PlanetSide.
Rating: 8/10
and EQ
Everquest - This one ended up being a little bit disappointing at first. It seemed that although the environment was rendered in perfect 3D, the characters in the game were not. It almost looked as if your character was a sticker on the glass of your "holographic" monitor, just as the interface and menus appear in most games. After some helpful advice from the support team at eDimensional we discovered a little EQ secret - adding the item "useUmbra=false" to your eqclient.ini file will fix this and apparently even speed up overall EQ performance!
Rating: 7/10
So in PS you can't hit shit and it gets an 8/10
In EQ there's an easy fix in the .ini file and it gets a 7/10.
I take it this was reviewed by dancing retards? :)
