With our review of Orcs Must Die! already up, it's time to take a look at this week's other XBLA releases, NBA Jam: On Fire Edition, Sega Bass Fishing and Space Channel 5 Part 2. In other words, we have two old Dreamcast games, and one game that's trying to make you remember old games.

I can't believe there's no demo for NBA Jam. What a crime! I was really going to see if I enjoyed how it played before buying it, but now I'm permanently on the fence. I hope this isn't a trend for future XBLA releaes.

@ItsameMatt03 Oh... what the hell why did that not show up for me when I went to the Marketplace? Disregard my comments! All hail NBA Jam!

The trial version doesnt show up for me either.
But i bought NBA jam anyway after having played a little of the Wii version this XBLA version is a bargain! Highly recommended!

NBA Jam was lots of fun. Aside from my two infuriating losses :'(

The video won't open 'cause I'm at work. Are there dinossaurs or something in this version too? 'Cause that would be...

NBA Jam is a fun game to break up the monotony in between all of the "serious" games we own. $15 well spent. And besides ... PIPPEN!

Am I the only one that finds it hilarious they just 'let the game describe itself' or whatever for that garbage 3rd game? Funny!
