Retail Roundup: April 7, 2010

Man + Drill = Mr. Driller.

espite an Xbox Live Marketplace release that could only be described as broken, Mr. Driller is still the franchise which combined Dig Dug and Tetris to create a truly unique arcade/puzzler experience. This week sees a DSiWare release: Mr. Driller: Drill Till You Drop. Start stretching your thumbs now, folks — games like this are the reason portables exist.

Wait a second — are those strategy elements I spy in my top-down isometric World War Two shooter? Commandos Complete compiles every game in the PC series in a single, highly affordable package. Outfit your team of specialists, formulate your plan of attack and execute it to perfection as you attempt to loosen the Third Reich's stranglehold on Europe.

I usually assume that every Xbox owner is a paying Gold subscriber who, like me, downloads every piece of digital content that strikes his or her fancy — but we all know what assuming does. The Borderlands: Double Game Add-on Pack combines two of Take 2's sizable digital content packs, stamping them to disc for those that haven't yet hopped on the online distribution bandwagon. Microsoft points be damned: $20 lands you this content at your local retailer.
