Do any games give you air motion sickness? OT

I'm curious because of the replies down low regarding Marathon on the 360. I remember people mentioning getting sick to their stomachs or getting headaches back when it first came out on XBLA, and I thought maybe it was isolated. But then there are games like Portal and Portal 2 where I know many, many people who can't even watch them being played for more than maybe five minutes without getting ready to throw up.

I've personally never come across a game that makes me dizzy, nauseous, etc., so I'm curious about the games that make others sick.

Does it happen when you play? Watch? Both? Does it happen after a few minutes, or a few hours? Certain genres? Just certain games?

I've mentioned it before on this forum, but Mirror's Edge, Marathon, and especially Halo's Forge mode initiates nausea mode after about 15 minutes.

I'm not sure about watching other people play, as I'm usually all alone, boohoo.
