Xbox 360 - Games and the Cheats

By Taylor Sanders

Many people would agree that when you are playing a game on the Xbox 360 and you hit a point where you are stuck and cannot go further, resorting to cheats is not the best way out. This is the quickest and easiest way out of any situation and most of the time it is not the best. 'You will only be fooling yourself' is the attitude of many people who are against cheating in games.

You need to remember that the game production companies design these games in such a way so that they can prove to be a challenge. The puzzles in the Tomb Raider games are in fact a perfect example, even though those who are avid fans may not find the puzzles impossible to overcome.

Obviously, a vast amount of gamers simply hate the idea of getting stuck in the middle of a game. Instead, they simply want to complete the game even if it means using cheats. However, using a cheat to complete the level on your behalf takes all the fun out of the game and makes it rather pointless.

It takes a serious gamer to admit that cheating in games is not the right thing to do. You pay lots of money for the game to begin with, and if you are supposed to sit for three hours trying to figure out how to get past a certain point in the game, then that is how it is supposed to be.

Admittedly, there are certain games which are exceptionally difficult but they've been made that way for a reason. In fact, that's exactly why the manufacturers employ game testers, in that they can establish whether or not there are any parts of a game which are impossible to get past.

If they can do it then so can you. Certain games just require more thinking time and working out than others. However, if you are a fan of action games, big guns and blowing your enemy to smithereens, then there is no doubt that puzzle games are going to be a bit of a challenge. You are used to rushing through a game and emptying dozens of magazines on your enemy, but cheating when you hit a wall does not fix it.

Many people tend to view cheating in a game as being the same as cheating in real life in that it's something you shouldn't do if you're an honest person. If you're in the middle of a game and you get stuck while your enemies are attacking you from all sides, you simply need to think a little harder rather than believing the game is ganging up on you.

If you have gone through a majority of your games by cheating, for once try to complete a game without cheating. You will not only finish the game properly, but you will also not be fooling yourself. - 29872
