So, it turns out Left 4 Dead is a pretty good game, to put it mildly. We hyped it like mad here, and for the most part, it lived up to our expectations. It's one of the most fun experiences on any console this season.
However, it looks like there are some folks who will make their own fun by cheating. Giant Bomb has the details about hacking Left 4 Dead, which is unusual for a console game. Infinite health, spawning weapons, and summoning hordes of witches are just a few of the ways people have altered the gameplay. You can check it out a video showing some of the l33t h4xx right here.
Fortunately, Valve was right on top of the situation, and issued a patch quickly. "The fix is designed to halt the cheating behavior on the dedicated servers, which accounts for the majority of the co-op and Versus modes of play," says marketing head Doug Lombardi. You have to admire the speed with which this was fixed.
Speaking of Versus mode: if you're like me, you've played through the co-op missions several times already. Perhaps you find Vs. mode appealing, but want to read up on some tips and strategy first? Look no further than our partner site Colony of Gamers. Posted in the forums there is an nifty discussion of the roles of each Infected on a team. I can't wait to be a tank!
Note: Special Thanks to Baldy from the forums, who I blatantly stole the story from. You get a shout-out on the podcast this week!

Side note Marc, you should have been with us last Friday when we all mixed it up in 4-player vs on L4D! Read about it in the meetup thread, then make sure to be there next time! None of us got the tank, but I had a great time as a hunter. On the last round, I snagged a guy as a smoker, hung him over the roof, and Nick as a Boomer pummeled the life out of him!! I almost cried laughing so hard.
Actually I did get to be the tank, twice actually. The first time was the level with the gas station when you guys were already in the safe room. I didn't get there in time.
The second time was in the sewers and just went straight for Bap
