    Midway Arcade Origins has 31 classic-games to offer and can convince with an authentic presentation. The problem is the small degree of diversity. Most of the games are just boring after five minutes and only a few of them can really last longer. Local multiplayer is great though. All in all the game can make your friends and you a nice evening of gaming, but nothing more.

    A generous number of titles with a handful of really choice stuff. Stylistic preservation is coupled with better resolution. Add in solid options, PSN leaderboards, with local multiplayer, and the $30 asking price becomes quite reasonable. Still, online play would have taken pushed this up a few levels.

    Many of the games are great, and the effort to bring them to new audiences is noble, but frustrating technical problems drain the fun of the experience like so many ants and razor blades in Bubbles (a deceptively awesome game included the collection).

    Suitable only for older gamers that would like to feel the nostalgia of an era long gone.
