No motion sickness here.I've been a serious gamer before, but had to give it up when the toddlers realized that the broken controller really doesn't work. So, long RPG games were off the list for a while.
Currently I've been enjoyed mind-numbing arcade games as a way to relax for a bit. My current favorite is an old XBOX game I downloaded called "Peggle". My 9 and 5 year old compete with me.
