googled and found alot of people saying they got nausea too. like this guy:
I was one of the unfortunate few who actually suffered bouts of intense nausea due to Half-Life 2's uniquely offset field-of-view setting. Keep the Dramamine handy—Episode One's still a bit of a vomit comet if you share my shortcoming. —Matt

Re: almost died play HL2 episode one
viewing angles in HL series is very realistic, gorge yourself in hours of CS will get your mind used to it

do you have lnks?
Answer:
Re: almost died play HL2 episode one
It's the view point camera angle's fault or Frame of view. Just like Half-Life (original), HL2 is set around 70...while other FPS are at 90...so everything seems very "3D"...
Or maybe it's because the game's screen refresh rate is too low...
I Remember Medal of Honor-Allied Assault used to give me headache and nausea... felt like I had fever or something..
And you can modify the view...

Yeah, that is for real. Google it and see. People actually have reported serious motion sickness arising from the game.

Re: almost died play HL2 episode one
That's a quite interesting scenario.
I for one have never experienced nausea from playing HL2:Ep01.
But dieing because of a game? The only report of that which I've heard of was the South Korean incident where the S.Korean Guy played Starcraft for over 48 hours and died of heart failure.
