As Timesplitters 2 is out this friday and looks an amazing game. When i played the demo and also when playin Medal Of Honor, i got headaches.

They are the only FPS i've played on PS2, and i wondered if anyone else felt funny or felt bad after playin em.

Is it anything to do with motion sickness?

It just seems wired that it only happens in FPS games.

I don't get headaches, but nausea. And only with FPS. Therefore I do not buy such games. It's the same effect as with getting seasick. What your eyes see, is not what your body feels.

You may have noticed that on my last post i wrote a** instead of the 'naughty' word. You can say CRAP, but you can't say a**

The only game that made me feel sick was the original V-Rally on the PS1.

First time I played a 3D racing game, and it made my head spin so much I had to lie down in bed and try and sleep it off. Not a pleasant feeling, but I think the only reason it caused me to be ill was because I'd never seen a 3D racing game before moving at the speeds it was going.

First and only time thats happened though.

I feel sick when playing computer games... if they happen to have Pokemon or Mario or some other stupid character in it...

...which reminds me that Digitiser put Mario Sunshine top of their 2002 chart. Idiots! But then most of us knew that, and have known for the last 2 years at least.
