Five good reasons why - We love cheats in gaming

Cheats hardly exist anymore these days thanks to the invention of Achievements and Trophies. But back in the day almost every game had a few awesome cheats. Here are five good reasons why we love cheats.

1. Cheats let you break a game

Nothing is more fun than to completely break a game with some truly ridiculous cheats. We especially love opening up the console menu in shooters. Sometimes you just want to turn on invincibility, equip the biggest gun, get unlimited ammo and blast your way through hordes of enemies. Cheats let you do just that.

2. Cheats make life a little easier

Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A. If that sequence brings back memories, consider yourself a true gamer. The Konami Code made life a lot easier by giving you 30 lives in a lot of games. But we love more modern time saving cheats too. We used the ROSEBUD money code in The Sims to build our dream house. And instantly unlocked all songs in a Guitar Hero. Who has the time to actually earn all that stuff legitimately?

3. Cheats extend the life of a game

Cheats are a great way to extend the life of a game. After you've beat the game and have nothing left to do, you can use cheats and just mess around for hours. Who hasn't used cheats in GTA for all the best vehicles and weapons with all the cops chasing you? And Skyrim won't be anywhere near as fun without cheats.

4. Cheats add mystery to gaming

Like we've shown you in your top 5 myths in gaming, cheats add a lot of mystery to our favourite pastime. Back in the nineties school lunch breaks were used to discuss the existence of a blood code for Mortal Kombat and the infamous nude cheat for Tomb Raider. Sure the internet has made fact checking a lot easier these days but we still like the mysterious element cheats add to gaming.

5. Cheats reveal funny secrets

Cheats let you unlock all sorts of funny secrets developers have put in their games. Like the badass assassin turkey you can get by punching in a code in AC3. Or the cheat in Goldeneye that let's you shoot paintball bullets. Or the cheat in Saint's Row The Third that turns everybody into pimps and ho's. Or all the weird cheats for the NBA Jam games. You get it: cheats let you do all sorts of crazy stuff and that's why we think they are awesome.
