* [[Author's Saving Throw]]: The developers, after picking a large fight with the negative reviewers, conceded to the flaws in their game. They released a massive patch for the game to address the major issues, created a newer, more intense demo, reduced the price, and then remade and re-released the game.
* [[Cliché Storm]]: Lots of this game is taken wholesale from other games, ''[[Tomb Raider]]'' and ''[[BioshockBioShock (series)]]'' being the most obvious ones, and played straight.
* [[Genius Bonus]]: The terrorists call themselves the Malthusians, after English economist Thomas Robert Malthus, who is known for his theories about the dangers of populations growth.<ref>"The power of population is indefinitely greater than the power in the earth to produce subsistence for man." -- Thomas Malthus, 'An essay on the principle of population'</ref>
{{quote|"We also wanted to make our terrorists real; to stand for something, not just to be game cannon fodder. It's about treating gamers as intelligent, well-informed people." -- [http://www.ps3attitude.com/2008/09/hydrophobia-sequel-revealed-blade.html Pete Jones]}}
