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??

    • Yeah, this is absolutely nothing new and EA have done it before. Burnout Paradise, released in 2008, had dynamic advertising billboards that were updated via the internet and targeted people based on location and what EA knew about them from their profile. It was particularly notable for the fact that the Obama presidential campaign ran ads in the game, in an attempt to reach a younger audience who didn't watch broadcast TV any more. It was by no means the first though. Battlefield 2142 from 2006 had the same thing. In fact, Neowin wrote a story about it back then. https://www.neowin.net/news/ba...-in-game-ads-clarification/
    • This is obviously aimed at the education where Apple has lost so much ground to Chromebooks in the last few years, but unless they come up with a comparable management system for education why would anyone switch back?
    • Here's how we arrived at that claim: Note that this is just Play Store downloads. The app is also available on the Galaxy App Store
    • Google Play states the app had more than 50 million downloads. What other metric do you suggest should be used?
    • MSN defined our generation in some ways, kind of like Snapchat and TikTok have done for future generations. I have great memories of the MSN era in the late 90s / early 2000s. In the UK everyone seemed to come home from School and go on MSN for the evening. We didn't really have mobile phones then, so other than going and knocking on your friends door it was a totally new way of interacting with people. I also loved how I could talk to people I’d met playing online games from around the world. Inviting people to NetMeeting and messing about with the shared white board and webcams was pretty fun, even if webcams only ran at a couple of fps over dial-up. All the random things you could do with MsgPlus! were really fun - I suspect that made a few people jump with /shello randomly blasting Mr Hankey out their speakers! Maybe I’m just nostalgic, however I do feel the internet and computers were more fun back then.
