Doom never made me motion sick, but I could only play Hexen for about 10 minutes at a time, and I never get motion sick when not playing a game (been reading in the car on long car trips since I was about 6).

I think it's something with the perspective being off in Hexen (and some other games) which makes you sick if you watch the player turning.
