Fun:
I don't often post reviews online, but I was so disappointed by this product that I was moved to make an exception. Three of the four games (Lumines, Geometry Wars 2, and Bomberman) are included on a disc. The box includes a code that allows you to download Ms. Pac-Man from Live. For people who have hard drives and Xbox Live (which really should be everyone), this latter solution is the only one that makes any sense at all. You dial in the code, download the game, and it's as simple as any other XBLA game from there on out. The other three games all must be played off the disc - it does not permit you to play them like you would regular XBLA games. However the software code is largely unchanged, so that the games themselves don't recognize they are being played off a disc. Bomberman simply doesn't work - it tries to force you to download an update of the game, but because you never downloaded it in the first place, the "update" would cost the full $10, and it won't allow you to play without the update. Lumines and Geometry Wars 2 are at least playable, but I don't know if Lumines DLC is compatible. That's iffy at best and I wasn't willing to risk it. I will be calling Xbox support, which isn't something you should have to do minutes after opening the box.
In sum: it is more of a hassle than necessary, poorly thought out, and one of the four games simply doesn't work. I am extremely disappointed and cannot recommend this product.

(please read my update towards the end of this review)
The controller is great. It does what it does.
The games however is another story.
Ms. Pac-Man comes as a download code. This is awesome because it will work just like any other Xbox Live Arcade game.
But the other 3 games are on a disc. This isn't even the worst part, but you must put in the disc to play Lumines or Geometry Wars2
Bomberman Live is unplayable! You put in the disc, launch the game and it asks you to update t he game.. which brings you to Xbox Live Marketplace to purchase the full game for 800 Microsoft points. It's very easy to waste 800 points and purchase this thinking it's a free download. Very scammy! Beware!
I have called Xbox support about the problem but they really had no idea what I was talking about and told me to look for an answer on online forums. I have a feeling that's all that they do themselves while they have me on hold for quarter hours at a time.

UPDATE
---
MS gave me 800 points to download Bomberman LIVE. After an hour on the phone.
Also I found out that downloading the game CD to your hard drive doesn't work like you'd think. The games still won't play off of the hard drive and your Xbox has to make a ton of noise and use the CD drive constantly just to play Geometry Wars 2 or Lumines Live. Annoying.
JUST STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMBO. (UNLESS THEY CHANGE IT TO DOWNLOAD CODES FOR ALL THE GAMES IT IS NOT WORTH THE HASSEL OR AGGRAVATION OR WEAR ON YOUR SYSTEM)

Amazon Verified Purchase
Fun:
If you update or connected to Xbox Live when you try to play Bomberman Live it will try to update, then will ask you to download the game again to update. To download again it wants you to use your MS points, or you can get the trial. Well after getting the trial, it will not load again.
The other 2 games work. Ms. Pac Man is a download, you get a redeem code with 48 hours of Xbox Live Gold Free and Ms. Pac Man, so you will need a internet connection to get it.

multigame pack with wireless controller
fun little grab bag of games. They are quick hit arcade games that pack a lot of fun for hours. Great value in that you also get a wireless controller.

360 arcade gaming pack
It was a great deal and the controller works fine. The only issue I had was with bomberman, it required a purchase and wouldnt update. I didn't mind, though.
