I find that when I star out to play a game, I psych myself up, and set out with the best intentions. I try to enjoy the game nd take my time with it, and play it the way it was meant to be played.Sometimes however I get frustrated either with a certain goal I can't seem to accomplish or I grow tired of repetitive things like gaining skills or making money. So every now and then I might use a cheat or a trainer. What do you think? Do you play the right way or do you cheat!? and do you think it's wrong to cheat in a game you paid for? I'm talking about single player mode or games that are single player, not multi player games, as I think that would be wrong because you are effecting othe players as well as yourself. any opinions?

I play the game first without using any walkthru's or strategy guides, just to get a feel of how the game is, and then after I'm used to the controls and the basic play of the game, then I turn to my game guides to help me out, but i never use cheat codes (unless I'm playing the Sims)

Its your game and as long as you are not online in a competition like call of duty 4 its fine. Some people on call of duty 4 were shooting themselves in the head to get promotions. I think that sucks and how can you be proud of that. My enthusiasm for games has dwindle, When fable 2 and Mercenaries 2 comes out then I will see if I am still a gamer. Oh and I never cheat, I might buy a strategy guide because I play some puzzle cames like next life and those are hard.

I also take my time with a game I'm playing. I try to get every secret, or item, or side quest, even if it's not necessary in beating the game. And if there are multiple endings I always try to get the best one possible. I always try to beat the game as close to 100% complete as I can. I like closure. I do have to admit, that if I'm completely stumped on a part of the game, I will look up a cheat, or a walkthrough. If someone paid money for a game, I think it's totally up to them if they want to use cheats. I don't like to use them, and try not to. Only in dire circumstances.
