well in all reality they are bad. They dont teach ppl to think about how to solve a problem and other things. but it is always fun to beat a game once with cheats and once without. (GTA San Andreas)
Well, I think that cheats are bad and good. Good because you can bet the game faster and you could also get some cool things. They are bad because they could take away the fun of the game.
I usualy only use cheats once in a while, like on games that the cheats don't matter to effect anybody else since its single player. Such as Oblivion, Call of duty 4 Campaign, Although Call of duty 4 has cheats you have to earn.
anything that speeds up the game, make it easier, or give you an unfair advantage kinda ruin the game. Easter egg type cheats, im kinda indifferent on. Only one i really found to be good was hypermode on the GH series because it made it more difficult
