Mirror's Edge Reportedly Causes Nausea

Michael Ubaldi  //  November 19, 2008  //  12:59 PM

So lifelike, it could make you throw up:

Players may become queasy because of the game's ability to interfere with the body's "proprioception," which Thompson points out is "a fancy word for your body's sense of its own physicality — its 'map' of itself. Proprioception," he notes, "is how you know where your various body parts are — and what they're doing — even when you're not looking at them."

Advice to Electronic Arts: manufacture a new limited edition called the Sick Bag Bundle and include Dramamine.
