There haven't been many cheats found on the older consoles ie. NES, SNES, Atari and Mega Drive. But now I think games have been overhauled by cheats. Many games have included secret cheats uncovered by Game Shark and Game Genie Carts. Whoever buys those stuff should be known as lazy that don't want to spend a couple of hours a day completing a game by themselves. Games such as Goldeneye and Perfect Dark have been hacked into by those Cheat cart companies and whoever buys them won't find out the true quality of a game. Now someone has found a cheat to finish the challenges easily, whoever found that should not be called a true gamer. I will never use those kind of cheats in my game until I've finsihed the game myself. Developers will have to make sure there is no way of hacking into them aswell as stopping piracy so their games can't be copied. Hopefully in the next gen consoles developers will spend a bit more time on their games and make sure none of the games will have cheats that can be used before completing a game or be used to complete the game it's just not the same feeling as completing it by yourself.

Now i believe most RPG's are cheat free, except when sneaky people use Action Replay or something.

Did that mean that a 'newbie' won Gameaday back then?

Why not put them in anyway?

If you want to cheat, fine.

If not, just don't.

You don't need them not to put cheats in the games for you not to use the cheats.
Jeez, who do you get to wipe your ar...m for you?

Cheats should only be opened by playing a game properly the way it was supposed to be played......it adds incentive to completing the game, cheating spoils far to many games.

Don't everybody think companies cheat on you to buy their game then a Guide and make you buy whatever else you need to make the game work?
