Except Saints and Sinners Bowling by Large Animal appears to be a TGE - 3d game not a TGB -2d game, from that 1 screenshot?

Nope, that started as TGB with additional 3D capabilities added. Doesn't it make your brain hurt thinking through the genesis of that? :)

I just played Saints and Sinners for a while. What a nice looking game! Do you think the bowling pin physics are done with T2D? It sure looks like a 3d environment, but a lot of the gui components and particle effects sure looks like T2d. Just wondering ...

Totally guessing from having played it a bit, the physics are custom for the pins. I think it would be much easier to make 3D pin-specific physics than try to adapt T2D physics to it somehow. In any case, it is a great example of how TGB can nicely meld with (and probably speed up overall development of) titles that aren't completely 2D or fit entirelywithin TGB's core competencies.
