Link more unsettling, too Let’s scope how theMajora’s Mask3DS remake, which has been in development since 2011, compares to the 2000 original. Ninten2TV did the above video, while an Imgur user took thesescreenshots, three of which are below, the rest of which are at that link. I’m not sure that the moon is scarier. More aggressive, maybe, with that P.B. Winterbottom nose and widened grin.

Hidden Path Entertainment’sDefense Grid: The Awakeningwas recently released for PC and will be coming out for XBLA next year, and it attempts to take the standard tower defense game that’s been around forever and make it as pretty and as slick as possible....
