Gear Of War made me feel sick

It is weird when playing a game can make you physically feel unusual.

Another game for me was Crackdown and jumping/falling from great heights. If it was a really big fall my stomach would feel like it was in going and my knees in particular would go all jelly like as if I was waiting for them to break!!

Crackdown made me sick too, but its one of the few games i ploughed through despite feeling quesy due to its greatness, it was weird, as third person games rarely make me feel sick, but that was one that did.
 
I was Ok in gears but Marathon for the XBLA made me feel bloody awful. They brought out an update which made no difference to me neither lol
 
Never had motion sicknes or felt ill playing games before but last night after playing Guitar Hero 3 for several hours I kept waking up at random intervals and all I could see, when closing my eyes (if you get me), was coloured notes flying down the screen, not only that I could also hear Through The Fire and Flames! It was slightly freaky I have to say.

Tonight I am not playing GH3, I want some sleep!!

If I jumped from a big height on anything in Oblivion I'd get that feeling in the stomach like you do on a rollercoaster... horrible!
 
Ive had this before on pc fps(HL springs to mind), but never on console games.
I have only just thought that it must have been the game/screen movement making me feel ill(just used to think coincidence), didn't realise till i read this thread that it was quite a common problem for some people.
 
yep i feel sick after playing FPS games, including MoH and Gears of war including Oblivion and Far Cry both (PC and Console). Although i found reducing gaming time to 30 minutes with a break did help and reduce that nauseous feeling. the only games that do not affect me are strategy type games.
 
Only time I ever felt sick because of a game was Mario 64 when a mate and myself played for almost an entire weekend! :o Bad times! :D
 
i was sick once playing css but then again i had drunk 9 cans of stella and had a bad kebab but i'm sure it wasn't the game ;)
 
It only appears to be FPS that make me sick too...thats why i dont play them anymore.Only play 3rd person perspective games and i dont feel ill.
 
With me motion sickness kicks in with most games but only after about 4 hours of solid gaming! Get pretty bad headaches aswell!
 
My missus suffers from this motion sickness really bad when playing any FPS. She cant even watch them!

My cousin had an epileptic fit once when the white light appears in Die Hard Trilogy, when you die. He had never suffered from seizures before and has'nt since. It was the game that brought it on.

Scary....

Cheers :)
 
Never had this before but I felt a bit off after finishing act one yesterday.
All I can think is its the "wobble motion" they use in game especially when you run :(

Still having good fun with it tho,
