Well, for one thing they were sh*t. All the games I've ever played on them were utterly dire.

The main problem is getting the lag down on them, if there is a delay of even a few milliseconds between turning your head and the display being updated to reflect that then the brain will notice and you end up with motion sickness.

The above article covers that, as well as a whole other raft of problems with them.
