Look at that, the forum comes through with some answers. Thanks guys!
I'll try some of these out when fallout 3 arrives this week. Hopefully I can sort it out, I hear that there's a lot to see in that one :)
 
Just to be clear, this affects me on both console and PC shooters. I heard that it may have something to do with the field of vision that the game uses. On PC there is sometimes a line in the ini file that you can adjust to widen this, which has helped on a couple of occasions, but on console there are limited options for that. I remember when Marathon came out on XBL and even people who had never been motion sick while playing a game were affected. They patched it and widened the FOV and it solved a lot of the problems.

So my email got read out in the latest bombcast, but no-one had experienced it so my problem goes unsolved.
Does anyone else experience crippling motion sickness when playing FPS games? It's really pissing me off.
I managed to make it through portal, but only because I knew it was short, and I just had to hang on for another hour or so. I was wowed by the visuals in half life 2, but almost threw up after 20 minutes.
 So, any ideas? I've heard turning the lights up in the room can help, and eating ginger let me know!
