You have explained it quite well. I have played several games with
mouse/arrow but I find it awkward to use the arrow keys especially when
going up a ladder in a game and turning left or right. it seems clumsy to me 
to maneuvre
my way around. as opposed to point and click where you use only use the 
mouse.
I think Pandora Directive was one of the first games to use "real time 3D 
graphics"
as they described it. Most of my games through the years have been point and 
click
and I am not as used to games with 3D graphics but I have played some good 
games
with 3D graphics through the years.
