Do diferent types of games drain you're energy fast?

I often find shooters can be draining. For me I believe its due to constantly scanning the screen looking for sometimes tiny movements of other players etc amongst the scenery to try and get the first shots in.
Just feels like I always have to be crazy alert, and it drains me and hurts my eyes

Strange. I find it really hard to get to sleep after a gaming session. Watching TV makes me tired.

I am the same. Although I would state that MP games get me pumped with adrenaline, I can get tired playing SP games as I care less.

I have to stop playing games at about 9:00pm or wont be able to get to sleep as easy.
As for them making me feel tired its a mixed bag, as I get bored of the game I find it makes me tired more easily as I feel i'm forcing myself to play it because the other option it pre 9:00pm TV and pre 9:00pm TV makes me cry

I didn't think any mp shooters had a stamina bar except for Farcry....
I can easily play a game all day and have a bit of a sore bum, although it does depend how good the game is. Dragon Age for example, must have had 4-6 hour sessions on that at one point with no problems - decent content distracts me from any uncomfortabilities!
Haven't had a huge session on any game in a while as I've had other stuff to do.
No game physically or mentally drains me. I get tired, of course but anyone does regardless of what they're doing.

I suppose it depends whether a person has an energy drink to hand, during those gaming sessions.
For me during X-mas, I would have day long gaming sessions simply out of boredom. I would drink several cups of black coffee to keep me going, making me almost unstoppable!
Sadly, it doesn't happen very often.

only RTS games drain my energy.
i feel there is no time to stop clicking and if i slow down at any moment then i will get owned, especially with starcraft 2, people actually get abusive if you seem to be daydreaming, i guess youre letting the side down.

lolPlayed BC2 for 4 hours straight today and I'm not tired.
WoW used to really take it out of me though. I remember once where we were doing the 4 emerald world dragons, I fell asleep on my keyboard be the time we got to the last one and had to be woken up by everyone on vent
