Xbox 360 Update Offers "No New Features"
An Xbox 360 update is here and it looks to fix some connectivity issues. Microsoft’s "Major Nelson" posted on his blog saying, "This update addresses interruption issues that some Xbox LIVE users may have experienced when playing a limited number of Xbox 360 games."

Left 4 Dead to get matchmaking fix
With an update already on the way, Valve is talking about another. Nothing is more exciting than playing through Left 4 Dead with a few friends. Now, according to Valve, we will eventually be able to have team-based Versus matchmaking. “This will allow two teams of four to locate each other and compete in a Versus match,” says the Left 4 Dead blog.
Besides team-based Versus matchmaking, player matchmaking will be based on skill and, for PC players, matchmaking will support third party campaigns. No release date has been announced.
