We have covered videogame-related motion sickness in the past, but only really covered it from our own personal experiences and are likely missing a few key game titles and/or mechanics that affect other people but not us. If you have any experience with videogame motion sickness and/or have some advice that you think would help other people, please share. Share Your Opinions

Leg

I get sick from Portal, HalfLife and games where there is a hell of a lot of space for vision and less space for gun and HUD, and with very fast movements. I only get mild symptoms and I find that the symptoms worsen when I am closer to the TV, or if I havent had much food or drink (or had too much).

Far Cry 2 and Call of Duty 4

I find that the smoother the character motion is, the more I actually get motion sick. I think it is like the rolling visuals of being on a boat in high waves. Definite barf factor, and I have to take gravol tablets to play for more than 20 minutes
