X3F Week in Review: December 14, 2007 - December 20, 2007

Well, the weather played hell at the offices of Fanboy Towers this week, as evidenced in our, shall we say, less than exemplary episode of the Fancast. We make up for it though, by introducing a new feature (Ask X3F) and re-introducing Fanswag Weekly (in which you can nab a free copy of Undertow for XBLA). We've also got some hot holiday deals, some GTAIV goodness, interesting backwards compatibility news, and an awesome Halo 3 Forge experiment (which you can see in the video above). Enjoy.
