Does anyone get vertigo from games? Sidious Send a noteboard - 15/01/2010 03:40:30 PM

There are certain games, that on rare occasions give me severe vertigo. I can't actually play them anymore. It's really wierd because it's certain individual FPS games.

Thus far it's only been Half-Life 2 on PC, and Wolfenstein on PS3. I had to stop playing Half-Life 2 - the nausea I got from the movement on the screen actually made me want to throw up, and even when I was sleeping hours later it felt like the room was spinning. I recently had to sell Wolfenstein because I discovered the same problem and could only play the first stage.

It's odd because I can play Infamous, Prototype, Darksiders, God of War and others without problems - but certain games cause intense vertigo in me.
