When I was young, I loved cheating on things like the Sonic games (Super-Sonic cheat ftw!), but nowadays I will complete it legitimately before I cheat. Usually with GTA games I'll complete it legitimately through the story, then spawn guns and cars and stuff as I need them to complete side missions to get 100%.

What I usually do is play through a game first without cheats, then replay it with cheats. But only with single player games, never online or with multiplayer. The best game to do this with is Grand Theft Auto. Having cheats activated like unlimited health or weapons, ability to spawn whatever car you want really add to the gameplay a 2nd go around.

I used to cheat in the GTA games, but for the same reason as a few other people have mentioned.....fun after the main story is completed.

The only other game I use codes in is Oblivion but that is because the game sometimes glitches and you have to use codes to get the mission to continue on or w/e but the game sees this as a cheat :(

I cheated back in the days when I played Doom and Quake single player.. but once it gets to multiplayer, then no - what's the freakin point. If you're bad, practice!!

yeah cheating on multiplayer is a bit wrong :no:

I would never cheat in multiplayer.

However, being a father and having a full time job and a loving wife :no: I use cheats to get through a storyline sometimes now that I don't have the time I used to dedicate to games.

That being said, what's the best place for some Xbox 360 cheats??

    • MVS subscribers got the proper 26200.8655 Win11 25H2 ISO downloads as of 6/16/2026 avoiding this whole MCT fiasco by MS. I'll obtain the official 8655 MVS ISO download instead.
    • too bad the "backend" June 2026 ESD files are still at build 26200.8653 and not at the correct build 26200.8655 release. I'll avoid using the MCT for several weeks until late July 2026
    • Qualcomm's new Snapdragon Reality Elite chip brings on-device AI to Android XR devices by Pradeep Viswanathan Qualcomm has been delivering dedicated SoCs for mixed reality and spatial computing devices for several years. The journey started with the Snapdragon XR1, followed by the Snapdragon XR2 in 2019, the Snapdragon XR2 Gen 2 in September 2023, and finally the Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 in 2024. Today, Qualcomm announced a major upgrade with the new Snapdragon Reality Elite Platform, which targets premium mixed reality and spatial computing devices. OEMs can use this SoC to power both all-in-one video-see-through headsets and lightweight, tethered optical-see-through glasses. Qualcomm highlighted that the Snapdragon Reality Elite will power the next wave of Android XR devices coming later this year. These wearables will offer better visuals, improved power efficiency, and deeper on-device AI integration compared to the previous generation. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can deliver up to 48 TOPS of AI performance, allowing large language models and large vision models to run directly on the device for the first time. In addition to enabling new spatial AI experiences, these new AI capabilities will improve head and hand tracking, as well as see-through features. On the performance side, the Snapdragon Reality Elite offers up to 60% higher GPU performance, up to 30% higher CPU performance, and up to 160% higher NPU performance compared to the previous generation. The platform supports visuals of up to 4.4K per eye at 90 frames per second for sharper images and smoother motion. Qualcomm is also claiming significant efficiency improvements. The Snapdragon Reality Elite can offer up to 20% longer battery life under the same workload. More importantly, the chipset can run up to 12 degrees Celsius cooler under load, making headsets more comfortable for users to wear for longer periods. The platform also includes improvements to video see-through, featuring lower latency and better image quality. Qualcomm states that its EVA hardware block helps accelerate demanding computer vision workloads, improving how digital content blends with the real world.
    • Umm... GitHub continues to use AWS. That's the story, that's the headline. There's no "new" news here. GitHub continues to require additional capacity beyond the originally-planned Azure allocations. There's nothing special about this; nothing noteworthy. They're still using AWS' infra until the cutover is complete.
