Serious Sam 3 BFE 3D Vision
So besides nVidia saying the 3d support for this game is poor,the actual game plays very well in 3D. The only problem is when upping the convergence, the first person gun goes out of focus really fast, so I'll have to play with quite a a low convergence setting and high depth (i'm actually using the registry tweak to get even higher depth). Other than that there doesn't seem to be any problems in 3D, no issues with shadows or anything of the sort.

"Edit" After playing some more, you can easily crank up the convergence as high as you like if you play in third-person view and also some weapons in first-person don't use iron sights so there are no convergence issues then either (and the ironsights seem to be more of a cosmetic addition, rather than making your aim better, as I seem to hit every target just as well with or without using the ironsights and also the way the gameplay in this particular game, is you won't be using the ironsights much anyway). You can disable the ingame crosshairs and use the nVidia ones and they work very well. Cranking up the convergence and depth doesn't interfere with the aiming so no matter what convergence and depth values you use, the bullets will always hit where the crosshair is being pointed at (people who have been playing around with FPS games in 3D Vision should know what I mean). There are a couple of minor issues such as health packs and ammo pick-ups have this halo around them which renders at the wrong depth and the game menu is a bit weird as the text is divided in two halves, one for the right eye and one for the left so it's a bit weird to use at first, but it's still easily managible. Croteam has been very active with listening to the community, so maybe if we let them know of these issues they could be fixed in a future patch. But as the game is now, it is already very playable in 3D and I would rate it (in nVidia terms)from good to very good.
