    You know what I hate? Stupid fucking Google pop-up ads. They're completely ineffective - unless its main purpose was to interfere in my viewing and make me hate whoever created it.

    If so, mission fucking accomplished.

    Ok, you start out on a high ledge, and then go underwater. There's enough air bubbles so that Sonic can survive, but there's no way out of the water pit.

    It's like a Sonic metaphor.

    @Mike Newlad:
    I agree in part, user developed content is good in moderation, most of it will end up crap, but it gives more life to games that is relatively unreasonable to assume developers will be able to keep supporting a product for free after its release [No idea how valve manages it].

    @biggerx: Maybe you missed the announcement of the new 2D Sonic. If this level editor makes it into the game, how would Level Designers working for Sega be able to justify new Levels as DLC?

    That's the point I was making.

    Ask yourself what the difference was between Sonic and Sonic 2. Tales, Spin move and new levels. In todays scenario, Tales becomes £4.99 DLC and with a Level editor, who the hell would pay for the new maps?

    COOL, That there controllers got 6 face buttons entirely devoted to jumping.

    I doubt many modern videogames could contain such strong game mechanics as to commandeer that many buttons on a controller.
    A set of buttons in GTA dedicated to punching hookers maybe?

    I know it will never happen, but imagine a perfect world, where a new Sonic came out, that had HD graphics and though it was played 2d, it operated in 3d like LBP does. Then imagine, they also took LBP idea and made the thing mainly about user created content.

    *sigh*

    Also, you need to move Sonic Fahey, he is getting impatient.

    @Gantz: Your Trusted Friend in Science.: Pretty similar to the idea except it needs to be tone down just a bit. Sega was pretty lost when it came to that game, sweet levels but talk about linear.

    Something simple and cute like LBP would perhaps do Sonic more justice.

    @Psudonym: I'd also recommend Shadow of the Bat 1-4 "The Last Arkham" Hard to find in a collected edition since DC hasn't reprinted it since the original printing, but the individual issues are pretty easy to find.

    Also the best book in the whole Battle for the Cowl business was the Battle for the Cowl Arkham Asylum book. If you liked the game, that issue's a great read.

    @fearing: Hrmm, I haven't picked up most of the whole Battle for the Cowl, but I'll definitely give the Arkham Asylum book a go... even if they do blow it up. Again! That one page of blowing up Arkham didn't do the chaos of it justice.

    I'll go see if I can find Shadow of the Bat too. And I've been meaning to see if I can find Black Orchid as I'm quite the Gaiman fan and Wikipedia tells me Arkham is featured in it.

    I'm definitely on a madhouse kick right now. The only thing stopping me from going right back into every Bat book I can find is ranking up high scores in the challenge rooms.
