Is it my TV??? It's not that big. 52". Mebbe I need to use my room TV (37") to play Tomb Raider. I get nauseous about after 30 minutes of playing. I was all ready and set with my 5.1, subwoofer on high, enjoying it. Either I am getting old or the TV is too big or something. I couldnt even play 5 minutes of Sonic. Never happened on PS2 or PS1 or the good old N64 or remember Sega Genesis?? Who gets nauseous easily?
From Wiki;
"Simulation sickness, or simulator sickness, is a condition where a person exhibits symptoms similar to motion sickness caused by playing computer/simulation/video games.[sup][1][/sup]
The most common theory for the cause of simulation sickness is that the illusion of motion created by the virtual world, combined with the absence of motion detected by the inner ear, causes the area postrema in the human brain to infer that one is hallucinating and further conclude that the hallucination is due to poison ingestion. The brain responds by inducing nausea and mass vomiting, to clear the supposed toxin.[sup][8][/sup] According to this theory, simulation sickness is just another form of motion sickness."

It's called Simulator Sickness and is akin to motion sickness.

John, did you actually buy that Russian ice cream and eat it? That could be it If you're getting sick, it could also be from the refresh rate - time to get a 3D set up
I've actually tried it at a friend's house and cannot say I'm that crazy about it. But my point to you is: try to meddle with the picture settings, may help.on a different note I want that xbox360 new thing called "kinect" I think its spelled... Its dancing to songs, music, it looks so cool, and I know its girly, but it looks like fun. I watched Ellen do it on her show the other day and next thing you know im standing up doing it too! lol 
just saying
