Remember how pissed off you were when you found out you could only get Juggernaut for Marvel Ultimate Alliance 2 if you preordered from Gamestop?  Remember how you wanted to smash your head through a wall in anger?  Please remain calm, we're about to tell you how you can stick it to the man and get Juggernaut for yourself without setting a foot inside Gamestop.

Update:  Sorry folks, looks like Gamestop pulled the website.

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!

Xbox 360 Fanboy points out a unique little post in the Bizarre forums.  Someone found a small little hack that allows you to see what Geometry Wars: Retro Evolved 2 would look like if it was fully 3D (which technically it is).   The trick is simple, simply press right bumper and the back button at anytime to enter a 3D mode.  The game pauses though, so you won't be able to actually play, but you can fly around and change the perspective for some neat screenshots. 

We've included a gallery of a few after the jump as well as a video of it in action.

Also, I'd just like to say, this game is complete video game crack.  If you haven't played it yet, do yourself a favor and go download it right now.
