The following article examines the inner workings of the minds of gamers when it comes to choosing between 'normal' and 'inverted' looking in games.

Wow, I never thought inverted could be so complex.

As one of the replies was on the article, "I think the reason some people prefer inverted in 1st person is because they feel like they’re controlling an airplane instead of a head." It seems as though he's right lol.

But do you all think the same way about that?

I've been inverted since halo for the PC. I always tend to imagine that my head is a joystick.

Some games I can play inverted, others not so much. Not sure why? Lol.

I guess I play Pacific Fighters inverted, but that's a joystick. As you said, use you head like a joystick. But I play FPS normal.

I play pc games normal and console fps' inverted. Ever since goldeneye I've never been able to play normal on a console.

I hate inverted.
WHoever came up with it needs to starve to death.

I think LOZ: Twilight Princess is inverted and i don't mind that, but i play halo like a normal person....without inverted settings

that's true for me. i only use inverted when im playing a flight sim or flying planes in bf2. i don't even use inverted for helicopters.
