"Like motion sickness brought on by planes and boats, simulator sickness seems to occur when there is a disagreement in the brain between what you're seeing and what your inner ear reports is actually happening. One theory about motion sickness posits that it occurs because the area postrema portion of the brain associates the visual/balance discrepancy with hallucination. Since seeing things that aren't there is often a sign of poison in the body, the brain tells the body to purge, unleashing the hot dogs.

How can you fix it? You might try sitting farther away from the screen so that it doesn't fill your field of vision. Also, experience often helps you get over it. It seems that after enough exposure to dizzying graphics, your brain learns that you don't die from poison every time you play a first-person shooter, and it lets you enjoy your fun."

Hope that answers your question, Aidan, though I think this could also apply to other games, not just FPSs.

I don't usually get sick from games, but I do tend to feel a little weird when I play some handheld games-- mainly on the PSP, oddly enough.

A great way too get sick is to play a handheld console on a bumpy road.

Genji Days of The Blade... Other then the CRAB, I hated this game. The voice acting made me sick and got lost so easily.

If you look at anything on a screen too long, it usual makes on dizzy. For example whenever I go to a cinema, I get extremely dizzy after from staring at the projection.

The games that make me sick are: the bakugan video games because they're pointless and plus they're better on tv, and also I hate the spongebob video games because they're retarded.

Okay, when I meant sick, I'm meant physically sick, like dizziness and nausea, not sick as in you're tired of the game. Unless people didn't read the first post....

Well then when you put it that way I'll have to say, Nights Journey of Dreams. An easy game but, one of the bosses the witch had a spinning table that you had to move the little cats into. It gave me big headache and I never replayed that boss again after beating it.
