You guys read the Epilepsy warnings on games, right..?
And have the games' refresh as high as possible? I get headaches from NFS:Carbon (not Prostreet or Undercover for some reason) and Assassin's Creed 1 because of the brightness and the low refresh rate of certain PS3 games.

I occasionally get this. More often in 3d sprite based games however. Also a lot of 3d Portable games give me motion sickness, yet I still love my psp so much.

Same here.
And it's always been like that.

I don't get headaches, my eyes just start to hurt and/or I start getting dizzy. And this is only certain FPS games. I've never experienced this in any other type of game.

AvP and AvP 2 made me slightly dizzy after awhile of playing... any of the classes, although the Alien was more disorienting because of the climbing.

Half Life and even more so, Quake 2, would make me slightly dizzy only after maybe 2-3 hours of straight playing.

I would mention that it is useful to use a screen filter on your monitor to help block the harmful gamma rays. It makes quite a difference.

I get horrible motion sickness in age of empires 2 sometimes. Especially in battle mode when everything's galloping offscreen all the time.

And then the back of my neck starts hurting and i get nauseous...

I get sick more often than not when I play Doom or Wolf3D. It's sad cus they're both great games and I like playing them.

Also, Sonic CD is a game that I can't play without getting sick and/or dizzy.
