Hydrophobia is one of those titles that’s been in development for years it seems (3 to be precise), but at last UK developer Blade Interactive has given us something to write about.

The water-based action adventure is now the subject on intense scrutiny on Blade’s website and it promises to give gamers an all round great experience including "the most realistic water you've ever seen".

What is more, they’ve even given the engine a name … you’ve guessed it, the Hydroengine, and Blade have even more to say about that.

"Blade's HydroEngine technology is the result of years of intensive development work, and is only possible on next-generation systems. HydroEngine allows us to model flowing water and other liquids, which behave exactly as you would expect in real life. Water can flow down corridors and stairs, and is entirely dynamic, which means you never get the same behaviour twice."

"What's more, HydroEngine can interface with solid body physics engines such as Havok, so that objects and debris can be carried with the flow, and interact with dynamic environments and characters in countless ways."
