Here are my thoughts regarding cheating in games. Firstly, I only use actual cheat codes for one of two reasons: If the game in question is one that I can't actually play due to inaccessibility, but I still like the idea of messing around with everything in the game, I'll cheat. GTA is a great example of this. 2: I've beaten the game so many times that I wanna see what the cheat codes are like. Superliam is a great example of this. Secondly, I believe in unlockables. If you can accomplish something in a game and get something really awesome for it, even if the awesome thing in question goes a bit beyond the game's standard of realism, then it's alright. Why is it alright? Because you earned what you got by accomplishing something that was either very difficult or very important. On a side note, the trophy and unlockable system that will be appearing in Liam's Judgement Day game was almost completely my idea. I mention it here because I sense that Liam may not remember that. So that's what I think about cheating. Unlockables rule, and cheats are for when you're just having fun. Beat the game first, a couple times if possible, and then go right on ahead and cheat.
