While there are a ton of musings around the internet on whether the FPS or MOBA genres are fading into obscurity, there is one that is unreservedly buried in the graveyard: mini-golf games. Which is kind of a shame. Sure, there is plenty of love for the arcade golf games like the Mario Golf series or the more professional Tiger Woods series, but mini-golf remains an untapped market even on PC. Even within my storied gaming career, I can’t remember playing too many mini-golf titles or mini-games outside of the original PlayStation’s Rugrats: Search for Reptar. And then there is Wonder Wickets, a newly released game on Steam by freshman developers Righstick Studios.

APPLE could launch its cheapest iPad model just in time for Christmas, The Sun can reveal. Several top analysts have suggested that a new iPad Mini 5 is on the way, and could be unveiled as soon as next week. Apple launched the iPad Mini series of down-sized tablets back in October 2012.
