I get extremely motion sick normally. I'm talking, I watch someone on the merry-go-round and I feel like I have to vomit, so I know exactly where you are coming from. When I try to play computer games it always ends badly for me, even after playing Guitar Hero for too long just the movement of the guitar fret on the screen makes me sick. A few things that I have found help me out the most:

1) Staying cool, I find that if I am warm and playing games I will break out into a sweat and will feel that much worse.
2) Play in short spurts. When I play MOHAA for instance, I will play a through a few checkpoints, then alt-tab out and browse the internet, etc for a few minutes to let my body recuperate.
3) Try not to focus too hard. I find the more intent I am on the game, the worse I feel, and the quicker it sets in.
4) My best results have been from drugs, ha. I take a Dramamine (common motion sickness pill) about a half hour before I know I'm going to be gaming for a bit. Lets just say my LAN Party essentials kit had my Dramamine right alongside my computer itself.

Hope that helps.
