X3F Week in Review: December 5, 2008 - December 11, 2008

With literally no releases on Xbox 360 this week, you'd think we wouldn't be very busy over at Xbox 360 Fanboy. Not so, however, as we managed to download and play the Resident Evil 5 demo and record our video impressions just for you. We've also got a new podcast episode, the usual news and a chance to win a year of Xbox Live Gold. Scan the links below and harvest the sweet knowledge within.
