Maybe you've played more games with that kind of interface. > WASD is the standard pc control scheme for first person 3d games. It has the advantage of allowing fast movement and very fluid viewport adjustments with the mouse. The idea is to use the mouse for everything aim wise and use the keys WSAD for movement. The Mouse buttons are for the respective actions reserved. This interface has been the defacto standard in first person games for 15-20 years. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arrow_keys check out the section about WASD.
