Earlier quoted context omitted.
Well the games are remakes of the classics, so if you don't have any fondness for the originals, you probably aren't going to like them. Personally I had some fun with lunar lander, though it seemed a lot easier than the BBC micro version I remember :)
No, the response to controls, the "feel of the games" is just bad. The originals where an order of magnitude better. The games look like subcontracted creations without artistic supervision from Atari just to advertise IE. They are not remakes for the sake of remaking old games, replicating and improving gameplay with modern visuals.
Sure, I think that's fair. The whole thing could definitely have been done a lot classier. And I don't doubt there are better online versions of these games already out there - I've since found a better (flash) version of lunar lander.
The article itself is still pretty nice though and I applaud the effort that went into that.
