When Dark Energy Digital, a small, Manchester-based developer that began life as an offshoot of Blade Interactive, the tried-and-true developer of the yearly updates of World Championship Snooker, announced it was working on a fully featured action title, it was easy to slightly raise an eyebrow. Audacious independent products seem hardly to have a chance in an era of gaming effectively ruled by two or three super-publishers, but Dark Energy remained incredulous; it had the technology, it said, and it had the talent".

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.
loved this game/ still play it. The water and atmosphere where stellar and really fun to interact with.

After a rather decent amount of discounts on Xbox One and Xbox 360 titles last time out, the Deals With Gold sale is back once more to deliver a number of games at bargain-basement prices. Is there anything found in the Xbox Live Deals With Gold sale for 13th-19th November 2018 that takes your fancy?"
Escapist: Hey, I knew what I was doing. I can't claim ignorance, and I'll never claim innocence. Someone offered me a preview copy of Ninja Gaiden 3, so I took it, fully aware that it sucked. I played the demo at E3. I spoke to people whose opinions I trusted. I listened to my razor-sharp instincts and my not-so-sharp gut. Lo and behold, every single warning sign turned out to be dead on. Ninja Gaiden 3 is a travesty.
But I don't regret playing it for a moment, because I occasionally play bad videogames. On purpose. And so should you.
I can almost always find a reason to play any game. Too many people today just want to say negative things about games, but there is almost always something worthwhile in any game to me.
i look at gameplay videos on youtube and decide from there, no more reviews for me. if i see a game i like, i usually end up enjoying it and don't notice ANY of the the horrible Flaws that a review would point out simply because they are not brought to my attention. so i can't say "oh that guy was right it does seem kinda ______... and it is a little _______..." nope. 100% fun in almost all games for me.
Warhammer 40k would be labelled as a crappy type game, i labelled it that ages ago when i saw afew screenshots for it and a trailer "looks like rubbish"
And it is, but i cant stop playing it, the voice acting is awesome http://www.youtube.com/watc... thats enough to warrant a playthrough on normal
Its pretty straight forward, run and shoot, hack/slash, its got a cool story/characters, big online community (never have any problems getting into some co-op)
If it wasnt released on PS+ i doubt i would of played it, im REALLY grateful i didnt miss it, because i would of done otherwise
I recommend it, if your looking for a pretty basic game with nothing to think about, just fun

I just started playing it yesterday and its much better than I thought. It looks good and its really fun. That's all I need.
I had my doubts but this review convinced me to give hydrophobia a whirl, thanks to (finally!) some talented writing.
"Keep an eye on Dark Energy, won’t you? This is a developer that’s going places."
indeed. not only that but I'll be keeping an eye on you, Mr. Sr. Staff Writer of nowgamer.com. AND I just might go ahead and take the contributor plunge, so I can help make sure more of the good stuff gets approved.
