In the past, as I am used to World of Warcraft and their cartoony look-and-feel, I had serious problems with accepting the realistic look-and-feel of other games that came out. I found those games creepy. As a matter of fact, I still have this problem in current games.
The same happened to certain films, like "The Polar Express" and "Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within".
When explaining this to my colleague, he mentioned that this is because of the "Uncanny Valley". As I've never heard of it, I decided to look it up2.
