The games are very fun and very challenging. If anybody is a fan of retro games or have never played them before then you owe it to yourself to pick this up.
For $10-$20 you get 34 games, 1800 possible GS pts, and the ability to play them all from you disc. For collectors, I recommend picking this up and putting your old carts up for collecting. This disc is easier to replace than 20 yr old carts. Most of these arcade titles go for approx 400 pts or $5 online anyhow and take up HDD space.
Verdict: 8/10
The only con to this title is the fact that you cannot go straight back to the games menu when playing/exiting xbla titles. Unlike Sonic's Gen Collection, you have to resort back to the system dashboard and reload the game. The museum games on the other do not work this way. For a few buck, I was able to pick up a lot of ****c games, xbla games, and have the opportunity to play a lot of titles I hadn't even heard of before.
