It's cliche, but it's also instinctual. In the dark, you can't see, so if there's something there, you can't defend yourself. In the light, you can see, so if there's something there, you CAN defend yourself. To see this sort of thing in action, you need only go to Africa and listen to the lore many of the traditional and... I suppose "untainted" is the only word I can think of, tribes have about night time. It's generally considered a bad time, while day is a time of hope and good.
Anyway, if they ever decided to make the dark the good side and the light the evil side, it would just be the same thing, only it would be that sort of fake "innovation" that insults your intelligence. The sort of thing any 10 year old would think up to be clever. However, it may just be that the light and dark sides have nothing to do with good and evil. That would certainly be an option. Reversing it though would just be stupid. The reason no one does it these days is BECAUSE all the story writers realize how stupid it is.
Anyway, the screw attack is certainly something I'll look forward to seeing in action. I imagine it'll let you demolish walls. lazy, I have to say that while that amazing attack did basically let me wander through a LOT of places killing everything I touched, I was still vulnerable enough to anything as strong as I was to say I didn't feel completely invincible.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
