Rogue-like Doom

[pakman]

I have had some vertigo episodes after long hours in FPS sessions. Mostly it is not a sick feeling, more of a trippy wierdness where the world wobbles in some strange movements I'm not ready for.

Doom3 made me queasy though, but I'm not sure why. It might have been the lighting, gore and motion all combined together, but I can take them all when seperated. FPS like Counterstrike, dark and moody like Thief, or gore... Ok, maybe it was the gore... The thought of spending hours playing a game like Redwood Falls blowing body parts off zombies I think would make me a little queasy too.

I have been queasy during/after playing an FPS. The ones that comes to mind immediately are Half Life 2 (which I loved, but after long sessions I somehow started feeling sick), Doom 3, FEAR (another great one, but I felt sick sometimes), and a few others I can't recall at the moment. Thief 3 really wasn't that bad for me, and I've played counter strike for hours and hours on end without feeling anything, however, the Counter Strike: Source, did make me feel weird after about an hour or so. I have also gotten queasy watching other people play games.
