"Certified"? Surely all games work with it.

I suppose this is like Nvidia's "certified" power supplies for SLI. The PSU has no effect on SLI as long as it's good quality (obviously) but you can pay Nvidia $50, $100, $200 and they'll allow you to put "SLI certified" on it.

So Nvidia gets cash and a news story mentioning 3D Vision, and the developer gets a shiny Nvidia logo and a news story mentioning the game. Win all around, except for when the cost is passed on to the consumer.

lol, this is slightly different.

The nvidia certified 3D vision games will not have a single non 3D element to them. The games thmselves are designed with 3D vision in mind and the Nvidia 3D Driver is updated before the games release to work semlesly with it.

Other games whicha re not certified may have issues such as 2D crosshair or 2D grass and other non 3D elements.

Still, they could just say that it would work well with 3D Vision rather than getting it Certfied and paying the money. The whole TWIMTBP programme is unethical, just look at the Batman AA issue.
