TSE is the 3d engine with Shader support
TGB is the 2d engine
in case you are wondering , yes TGB and TGE can be combined in to a 2/3D engine =)

3d pong, I wonder if anyone's done that before. Hey why not, a 3d frogger was created.

Could be worse, there's something to be said for them making games for all the consoles, though I'd prefer it if they didn't try to give any of the consoles exclusive titles. I really do love Sega games.

Star Defender III looks like a very nice pre-rendered 2D shooter. This means that the models, while created and shaded and spiffied up in a 3D application, were rendered out and are simple 2D images (which look spectacular).
But there is always context.
For example, "2D" games such as Viewtiful Joe, Pandemonium, and the New Super Mario Bros are 3D games with a fixed path and camera to simulate a 2D game. Isometric titles such as Zaxxon, Diablo, and their ilk are 2D games which attempt to simulate rudimentary 3D. In design terms, Wolf3D and Doom are as well, but don't think too hard about those.
What are you trying to do? There are a million examples of 2D games which try to be 3D and 3D games which pretend to be 2D. Give us some context to help you out.
EDIT:
Oh, and I thought that I would note that there are a LOT of 3D pongs available online, including the full source version which I stole the picture from.

I have no idea what you are asking in context since you are giving only a single example.Star Defender III looks like a very nice pre-rendered 2D shooter.
