For some reason certain games seem to make me feel a bit light headed, a little bit sick too. I have found it is a fair amount of them and one that seems to really do it to me is Sonic CD. Am I the only one that gets Sea sick from some video games.

I guess I just get Motion sick from games.
Can you read while moving?
And also i guess Extreme-G afterwards, but not much since then because i am just that tough.
Super Monkey Ball and Crimson Skys I cannot play because of the cameras.
Also Cloverfeild (the movie obviously) made me really ill.
Good thing its a small percentage for me!
Edit: and listening to Shed Seven.
Edit2: Oh man, my housemate got so ill watching cloverfield.

(Seriously, play a fast-paced shooting game and lose track of time, then walk outside. It's sickening.)

I wonder why Guitar Hero fucks up your vision but Rock band doesn't.
More shinies in Guitar Hero, I think. With the flashing lights and pretty colored stars. And because Rock Band is better.
Whats odd is i get motion sick sometimes in the back of cars or roller coasters. Not often but I have, but never with a game
I've never played the games, but I'd watched friends played it. The longer the exposure, the worse the headache. The theory was motion sickness, so once we tried just watching the screen without moving about, and it still produced a headache.
The current theory is that something about interior reflections on Samus' visor really fucks with me. I leave the room if I see that game now.
I'd guess also because the rock band fret board is transparent. though, neither of those games bother me at all -- frequency on the other hand used to make anything I looked at afterward "crawl" like an optical illusion.

I guess that kind of defeats the purpose.

As for Marathon XBLA, my head never stopped spinning. It was unbearable.
The Source engine seems to really like FOV 75. Set it to FOV 90, and he'll be able to at least enjoy the single-player and any multiplayer that allows adjustable FOV.
Can trade TF2 items or whatever else you're interested in. PM me.
Guitar Hero wouldn't make me nauseous or anything, but after long periods of play everyone experiences the effect where your vision wobbles. Like, a friend of my looked at one of my posters and claimed it was moving.
Apart from that, no problems.
A bit of advice re: the motion sickness effect, vision wobble. Put a reasonably bright light source like a lamp off to one side, in your peripheral vision. It's like a visual reference point, and can have a relaxing effect. Occasionally, it might not hurt to pause the game and look just off to the side of the light, circling the focus of your vision around it. It's kind of the visual equivalent of stretching your legs.
Marathon also, probably because it feels like the levels are moving around you, that and monotonous level design making me have to move through corridors that all look the same that are seemingly rotating... Fucking horrible game.
Guess I should try the fov thing some day, might even make me alter my view from "Don't buy valve products, they make you ralph!".
Also, some stages on Gitaroo-Man
Both totally worth it
Other than that I've very rarely felt dizzy in a game.
I did have a friend who told me he couldn't play FPS because they made him feel sick, I laughed at him, called him a pussy and didn't really believe him.........till he told me he had narcolepsy so we guessed it was down to that, after reading this maybe not.
Where Madness and the Fantasical Come to Play
One time a friend's mother was giving me a ride somewhere and freaked out when she saw me reading a book because she though it would make me puke in her car. It was years before I understood why she thought that could happen.
Rhythm games can mess with my vision though, but any sort of constant scrolling effect will do that (like end credits in a TV show - once the credits stop scrolling up, it looks like whatever is on the screen next is mving down).
One time a friend and I played Super Mario Bros 3 on a black and white TV for about 8 hours straight. About 6 hours in we both swore we could see colours.
I chalk this up to the fact that I never get nauseous as long as I can see something that corroborates with my sense of motion.
I realized this when I was at a marina on a lake that had a small convenience store on the docks. I was perfectly fine walking around outside it, but when I went in, just the slight rocking motion of the water caused enough of a disconnect between my vision and sense of balance to make me start getting motion sick, and it went away as soon as I went back outside.
...I think I'm going to have a problem once technology gets to the point where the screen/whatever-it-will-be fills your entire field of view.
Cloverfield gave me a headache mainly because it was ASS!
Funny enough, with Condemned: Criminal Origins I was fine through the whole game...I dunno.o_O
