I have hardly heard of this game >.>

i bet Playboy choose DOAXBV2 as the best...

well it was just announced at E3 (i think)

I'm a little confused about what genre it is. from screenshots it looks sort of like an FPS, but yet it is being classified as an "adventure" game for some of these awards :huh:

Well, I am kinda not looking forward to an underwater shooter, but I guess I will try it if it got THAT many E3 awards
