X3F Week in Review: October 24, 2008 - October 30, 2008xt

Lots of good stuff this week. First and foremost, we partnered (mostly willingly) with Joystiq to produce a massive video preview of the New Xbox Experience. Definitely check it out if you haven't already. We also have a hands-on preview with the first act of Gears of War 2. Beyond that, we've got new installments of our weekly features, including a look at the creepy digital Jeff Foxworthy found in the XBLA release Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?. Check it all out via the links below.
