I can't even explain the feeling I get while playing, I wouldn't call it motion sickness or even queasy, I haven't actually felt physically sick from playing. It's just a very unsettling feeling which leaves me feeling quite uncomfortable, so much so that I need to step off.

How close do you sit to your TV or monitor?
You're probably experiencing "reverse motion sickness."
Your body receives its postural input from several sources. With motion sickness we only need to worry about two of them, your visual signals, and everything else (The proprioceptive and vestibular).
In normal motion sickness you become ill because you have a fixed horizon, but your body is in motion. Your brain gets confused as to why the different senses are conflicting and starts stimulating pathways that induce nausea/vomiting/vertigo as a side effect in order to resolve that conflict.
With "reverse motion sickness" your position is fixed, but your horizon is moving. The same internal conflict arises and you'll start to feel sick.
If you are sitting to close to a TV or monitor so that the only horizon you see is a screen that is always in motion, your brain will think that you're in motion, however you're not. Try backing up some, so that more of the room is in your field of vision.
I had the same problem when I first started doing laproscopy. I would get very dizzy and would have to look away to settle it down. I found moving the monitors back a foot or so stopped all of that.
