The use of P2P networking over dedicated servers is an odd one – especially…
Apparently, unless you count a Spongebob game in 2011, the last video game about surfing released in 2002. So if you are a part of this rather niche crowd – and have become a little bored after 14 years of Kelly Slater’s Pro Surfer – get your trunks out for Surf World Series, a newly announced…

If you had somehow missed it, Final Fantasy XV, released the other week and was actually pretty good. Nothing is perfect, however.
