The creator? Ugly Phil....
No matter how cool they may seem, it’s always hard to get excited about fan-made Zelda games. Their creators are alwaysfaking their deathsor pulling some other wacky stunt to back out of their projects. This 3D remake ofLink’s Awakeningmay be different. First we got a look at thegame’s overworld, and just a short time later we get screenshots ofthe game in action. At this rate, a playable demo is only a matter of time, and as I learned from being a part of theMushroom Kingdom Fusionteam, playability can quickly lead to project getting the help it needs to actually get finished....

However, it also introduces several new weapons such as the Mangler and the Cindershot, which keep the sandbox fresh, even forHaloveterans....

A laid-back discussion of this week in gaming This is what happens when there isn’t much news to dig into in the weeks following E3.
