Oh, those look like the kinds of games my son plays. I can't play them because I get motion sickness very easily.

Interesting. Virtually every game has the "seizure warning" on it. I always find it hard to believe that someone could choke while playing a rousing game of Computer chess but better safe than sorry I guess.

I think if the games have a lot of sudden movements, flashing lights, and loud noises, it could bring on seizures or sickness. This definitely applies to more modern games because vidoe game production have been elevated to the level of movie making with cinematography, scenery, casting, voice acting, visual effects, and storyline. As opposed to picking up mushrooms and stomping on turtles, modern games like Halo and Half Life could easily be made into movies. Drooooolllllllllllllllll...

Ahem, um ,anyway... The game that I was talking about in my previous post is called Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell. That's right. Tom Clancy. He helped came up with the plot, characters, and technical advisory. If you ever watched this game, it is very clear that this could easily be made into a novel. SC is a pretty slow game, where you rely more on your cunning and stealth than your firepower and brute strength. You spend a lot of time lurking in the shadows and avoiding or incapacitating enemies. If you play this game really well, you will kill less than ten people while other games the blood just flows out of your monitor. It is quite a cerebral exercise and I sincerely believe that a) you will not get sick from playing it and b) you'll become hooked.

Besides, what other game out there lets you whack goons from the People's Oppression Chinese communist Fascist Army. :)
