2d games are just that, 2D. If you use a 3D effect then it should come out in 3D, yet the game-play play itself will stay 2D, but popped out.

In Computer Science Engineering & IT you learn computer graphics to work or 2D & 3D model in future that could be logo designing , web designing and game designing. Also 2D graphics can be use to create database schema blue print.
Creating a game is time consuming and hard work, however it can be simple.You must decide if you want the game 3D or 2D. If you wanting a 2D like Clubpenguin then you are best of designing it in Flash, for a 2D game you will need to use something like Unity.You will need to learn AS2 or AS3, MYSQL and PHP. Almost every game stores all data in a database (if you have items, etc.) so you will need to send data from the game to PHP then to MYSQL.You will need a server.
Sorry you cant... but you can do 2d!
