This is a really good game all round, and if you have the time. Really easy 1000gs, even on your first play through. You can earn between 600-700gs if you follow this guide.
Now to make it easier, you can plug in a 2nd controller, to get most of your achievements, but it is really not that important.

DASHBOARD GLITCH
Now the infamous dashboard glitch is back FOLLOW THESE STEPS
(Ed - Please note that the Dashboard Glitch has now been patched)
The aim of this glitch is to complete the mission on Expert without the need to play the entire mission.
This trick requires two people but you can do it with four. Note that the host will not get credits for beating that mission on Expert.
- Have the host sign into Left For Dead, however all the other players must have their disc trays open, with the disc in the tray.
- Have the host start up the finale of the level you want to beat on Expert. When the game starts, stay in the safe room with the door shut.
- While waiting in the safe room, send an invite to all players who want the achievement.
- All the players have to accept the invite. Once the message asks to put in the Left for Dead disc, close the tray.
- When all players join, they should immediately take control of any survivors.
- Complete the finale on Expert and all the players joined will unlock the achievement for beating the entire mission.
Also on the campaign No Mercy, at the end of the chapter after you contact the rescue vehicle, there is a room you are not supposed to get into, but I found a way. Video added below.
