Why is is that every time I open a games magazine there is at least three pages full of cheats for brand new games. For example I bought Tony Hawks Pro Skater 2 and a GBA about a week ago, and then as usual I bought Nintendo Official magazine, as I own an N64 and am keen on getting all the latest game info. Then I am discusted to find that there is a huge walkthrough for Tony Hawks on GBA. I know I am going to get loads of replys to this, well if I get any replys saying, 'well you don't have to read it if you don't want it do you'. But does anyone want to. The games only been out a short while and you don't buy a game to get told all the secrets. Thats the whole point of a game to work for them and to try and figure out how to get the secret tapes. I say this alongside SSXPRO's fascinating article about games lasting a long time. What is the point in printing cheats for brand new games if it cuts the games lasting time by at least half.
They print the cheats for people who need them, there not forcing you to use them its just for people who are stuck in games.
If your not a very good gamer you will cheat, if you have no patience with a game you will cheat, cheat if you wish to that's all.
