That was a bit of a letdown for me with the new GTA.
No cool cheats!
Like an evil dealer Rockstar got me addicted with San Andreas the cut me off with GTA IV.

Sometimes, when even the easiest difficulty level of a game makes you die in seconds after spawning (happened to me on RSV), you need cheats, but they can't be two-way cheats, like a one-shot kill cheat that means you shoot at an enemy right as he fires at you and you both die (this was the case on RSV. Damn you Vegas!)
Other than that, I mainly use cheats as playtoys when I play the game a second time, just to see how easily I can pwn the AI. I mean, activating god mode on a game where you normally have a microscopic amount of health is just one of the funniest things you can do, or playing through the Da Vinci Code game just so that you can get to the final boss fight and just stand in front of him, constantly getting shot yet not even getting one ounce of health (did this on my PS2)
Overall, cheats are sad if you do them on your first playthrough when you could easily destroy the AI without them, a godsend when you are trying to beat a game that kills you the second you try to move, and just plain fun when you are just replaying the game to see how almighty you can be with cheats (imagine if you could fly in the first Tomb Raider)

I never really use cheats unless a game is seriously kicking my @$$. But Clitches are always fun. In tony hawk under ground I used to love f'ing around with the climb on air glitch :)

There's another website that uses the Konami code. load espn.com and, while holding shift, enter the konami code then press enter. the site will be infested with unicorns and ponies, and even rainbows. but somehow they blocked the code after they revealed it on g4's show, Attack Of The Show.

I was way into glitching on the original Xbox's Xbox Live. Not in the ruin other peoples fun way either Halo 2 and Splinter Cell: Pandora tomorrow were the ones I knew the most glitches for like the Rocket dash and getting on top of buildings in Headlong. or my favorite in Pandora tomorrow I could (as a spy) teleport into the Merc spawn none of these were hacks either those two games where just buggy.

I despise cheats, there is no fun once they are activated, but I will admit that if there wasn't cheats I don't know where the gaming industry would be at today. Dang nere everybody I know uses cheats and they love em, but I love a challenge so I don't use them, harder difficulties are my most recommended source. I just wanna say for the game world's consumers ''CHEATS'' was the Tomatoe Sauce for the Spaghetti, uuuum im hungry now, LOL!

I used to love the Game Genies and the Game Sharks. They were so much fun to just screw around with.

Ahh, San Andreas, putting on the flying car cheat and spawning a tank.
Now that was fun, it was like having my own Metal Gear as I was wreaking havoc on the police, swooping down and blowing everything to hell, then flying back up again.
It was all good until I smashed into a biplane and somehow went screaming down into the ocean...that didn't end well.
