I am terrified of drowning. No, seriously. So I was obviously the perfect person to review Dark Energy Digital’s new downloadable action/adventure Hydrophobia.

What a surprise, I was just searching for this game. I'm honestly quite surprised by the water physics and definitely looking forward to trying it soon.
