If there was ever an idea that's really resonated with me, it's putting a realistic spin on platforming. I've always liked the concept of taking a normal human through extreme circumstances, forcing you (his controller) to plan ahead rather than relying purely on reflexes and luck. Shadow of the Colossus is a great example of this. The above is from: http://www.earth-2.net/reviews/v/shadow-of-the-colossus

With a little help from Mr. Mxyzptlk, Bizarro returns to Earth to confront Superman in "Little Big Head Man."

And "In Brightest Day..." sees the debut of Green Lantern! [ 2:25:00 || 66.3 MB ] The above is from: http://www.worldsfinestpodcast.com/episodes/wfp_033.mp3

The Silver Age itself was a wild time. Most will say that the introduction of Barry Allen as the Flash in 1956 is the demarcation, as it was the first time a Golden Age character had been reimagined in the DC Universe. But it is the beginning of the Bronze Age that is the real subject of debate. With the resurgence of horror books, the creation of more violent characters and stories of drugs and death in superhero comics, there are many pivotal moments that can be pointed to as the genesis of the Bronze Age. But for me, there is only one answer: Jack Kirby's return to DC Comics. The above is from: http://www.earth-2.net/columns/reddick/the-king-and-i-05
