It's time for another edition of XBLA in Brief, huzzah! This week we take a look at Mr Driller Online. In something of a departure for XBLA in Brief, we actually picked up the full version of the title (what can we say? we like the little guy) and gave it a spin. Unfortunately, before we could even be bothered to knock out this video, we had to make another one detailing Mister Driller Online's horribly broken multiplayer, which is ironic given the game's title. Still, the single player is fun and worth a look for casual gamers and puzzle addicts. Check out the video above and let us know what you think.

I love Mr Driller so for me the game is still a lot of fun. I wish they updated the in-game graphics, but I still have really enjoyed the single player.
I might bitch more about the multiplayer but so far I've not been able to find a single game when I try. I'm sure they'll fix it eventually, but that's not much consolation.

Glad I watched the video, not that I probably would have downloaded the trial anyway but now I definately won't.

Just thought I'd drop in and say that I love the XBLA in Brief segment, and I hope you continue to do it for a while to come. =)

The sprites may have been lifted from Mr Driller Drill Spirits for the DS.
