Yes it does. With an increased resolution some games give you a larger FOV. I run my surround setup in 5760x1080, very comfortable once you get used to it. Whether playing an MMO up close with mouse and keyboard, or a racing simulator or FPS on the couch with a console. Most games will automatically scale to your default resolution, some games will not support it natively though and it will just be a stretched 1920x1080 picture. You can also play in 1920x1080 and use your other monitors as side monitors no problem. There are lots of tools and easy fixes to mod games. Flawless Widescreen is one of the best programs to help fix issues with old games. Tomb Raider does support surround. Here's a picture I took:
It seems the idea of a surround gaming setup gets blocked on servers upon detection. I began playing EyeFinity when AMD introduced the HD5xxx, acquired some HD5870s, and have stayed hooked ever since.
