Check this out - we squeezed three titles into a First 45. Take a look at this year's NBA offerings. Afraid to sink 60 bucks into the wrong title? Then check out the 45 for a preview of what each game offers.
This First 45 features Chris and Luke.

At heart, The First 45 is a first impressions video. There's a catch, the impressions we offer are taken solely from the first 45 minutes that we spend playing a game. They say first impressions are the most important, and we feel it is the same with games. If you really aren't pulled into a game within the initial hour, chances are good you won't dig it after that.
There are no exceptions, this is exactly the beginning 45 minutes, from the time we boot up the game. What if the game pulls an MGS and starts with a 30 minute cutscene? That's too bad. We live in a fast pace society, and we don't have time to waste. We just want to play games.

NBA Live 95 on the Sega Genesis was the best basketball games of all time. Guard 23 ftw!
good stuff fellas, but no basketball game will ever touch NBA JAM.
In terms of presentation, 2K9 is as close to a real basketball broadcast as I've ever seen.
Agreed, Voyou San! NBA Jam RULES!
Another superb video. The gentlemen behind this one surely were at the top of the class of commentators so far. I hope to hear more from them soon.
i know yall say in the video who did the first 45, but yall should also put it in the article at the top.. or so i think..
@Lummy: You only have to pay for it if you buy the game used. If you buy it new, it comes with a code for a subscription.
@Voyou: Agreed. And also, done.
