In honour of today's announcement of Climax Studios' Surf World Series, coming to the Xbox One, PC and PS4 next year, I decided to explore the history of surfing video games, starting with the nine listed on Wikipedia. This won't take long.

Seems like a good morning for a monkey riding on the back of a Rhino. Game archivist Andrew Borman of PtoPOnline shares video and background information on Climax Studios' undeveloped pitched for a sequel to Rare's Diddy Kong Racing.
It's not every day a studio of import sets itself up around these parts -- usually the opposite is true -- but to hear that Climax (Silent Hill: Origins, Assassin's Creed Chronicles) has just put down roots in Auckland is great news.
Video: The recently-released Assassin's Creed Chronicles: India plays OK (very much like ACC: China before it), but, wow, does it look pretty. The game's artists took splendid advantage of how rare it is to see a game set in India. I had to capture some footage to show you. Enjoy!
The newest Assassin's Creed sits somewhere between the last two. It's good, not great. This time it's in China. This time it's 2D.
