Does anyone else here suffer from vertigo and/or dizziness when they are playing certain games? Just wondering how rare my case is. Recently I picked up a great game, Bioshock, and I was able to play through it once but I couldn't really play for long periods of time because it would make me dizzy and I'd have to stop. It seems to happen to me when I play games that are designed in 1st person view, not really with games that are 3rd person view. But recently I downloaded the demo for Stranglehold which is 3rd person and the same thing happened. I was dizzy within minutes of playing and had to stop. Stranglehold seems like it will be a really great game but I don't think it would be worth my $60 if I can't finish it.
I never get dizzy when I play games, but I can sometimes get dizzy watching other people play and FPS game. For some reason watching someone else jerk their view around when I'm not in control can get me nauseous.
Well iv never been affected but a lot of people are affected by Half-Life 2 which I still havent managed to play on yet as im waiting for the Orange Box.

Actually, this did happen to me the first time I played that MSDOS Star Wars FPS game, forget the title. I didn't have any problems whatosoever with Doom, though, which is weird. In general, tiredness can lead to symptoms like that, tough.
