3D has not done anything to enhance the gaming experience... YET. 3D TVs have not become enough of a presence for the major game design companies to really push the usage of depth. As I mentioned, my personal favorite use of 3D is to enhance emotional quality. Most games as a storytelling medium just aren't there yet.
What if Skyrim took a page from HTTYD. The scenery was already breathtaking at points, imagine an added sense of expansive depth. Or, a game like Bioshock with 3D enhancements like in Up.
You're right that using 3D in games currently is pretty much just a prettifier. It could be so much more, though.
