Done the first two but I don't see the problem with the last concept. Not all games have inverted controls so a page which lists the games that do is fine.

@mracoon: So we should go ahead and add nearly every first person shooter to the list? If the page listed the games where you could not invert the controls, I could see the point.

Honestly, there's more games where you can't.

How about games that only have inverted controls? Like Sneak King

@Marino: I seriously can't even name a single first person shooter where you can't, but my knowledge is kinda limited on PS2 games.

But who said the page only applies to shooters?

@Marino: That just seemed to be the intention of the page. 

"The action of inverting the controls for looking and aiming"

But even outside the shooter genre I can't name many. Are you thinking of 3D platformers?

Inverted controls definitely deserve a page. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it doesn't deserve a page (it'd be like Hitler not having a page on Wikipedia because no one likes him).

I'm thinking of games.  All games.

The great variety of different, weird and insane concept pages is one of the things that make Giant Bomb awesome. However, I'm against very broad concepts such as 3D, Health, Death and pages like the one in question which can be applied to a huge amount of games.

Inverted Controls is a valid page in the database. It just needs people to expand it and detail what exactly inverting the controls does and why the option is available in video games and then obviously associate games and other relevant pages to it that feature inverted controls.
 
There is nothing wrong with concepts that have a broader scope than most. Things like Health, Death and 3D are integral to the database just as much as the NosCon and Late Title Card are :)
