Boy, time sure does fly. It doesn’t feel like it was all the way back in December of 2018 that the good folks at Noodlecake Games announced a slick new Rocket League-like game for mobile called Motorball during the awesome Kinda Funny Games Showcase, but looking at our previous post covering that announcement, it has indeed been that long.

TouchArcade Rating:Ah GameClub. Doing The Lord’s work, I tell ya. Chances are that if you’re reading this website then you’re already familiar with what GameClub is, but just in case, here’s the short version. GameClub’s aim is to resurrect the best mobile games from over the past 10+ years that for whatever reason ended up no longer available or playable anymore. Maybe Apple’s hardware and software revisions over the years rendered a game broken and the developer didn’t have the means to fix it. Or perhaps a developer closed up

  Minecraft is one of the most popular games on the planet, so it’s natural that Microsoft, after buying creator Mojang some years back, would attempt to apply the genre’s playful, blocky aesthetic to other genres. After modest success with the Story Mode adventure game and Pokémon GO-like Minecraft Earth, they’ve tried their hand at a light action-RPG à la Diablo — and unfortunately come up rather short.
