I'm not sure if this is new news or not but Dangerous Waters is the runner up for the category of best simulation in the 'best of 2005' awards. I'd like to congratulate the devs and say well done.

Just think, if Silent Hunter III was not released at the same time Dangerous Waters would have had this one. Not that I begrudge Silent Hunter III though, both good simulations.
