Cheating in computer and video games is a process in which a player creates an advantage beyond the bounds of normal gameplay, typically to make the game easier. Although cheats usually give players an unfair advantage, such as invulnerability or unlimited money, they are often provided by the developers in order to make games more accessible and appealing to a casual gamer and to increase the game's replay value.
Cheat codes for PC games are usually entered via a PC game console, whilst console cheat codes are usually activated by a certain combination of button presses on the game controller or through the use of cheat cartridges or discs.
In this section, we take a look at some of the effects of cheating, along with the methods that may be used for standalone games and online games. You'll also find information on strategy guides (or walkthroughs) that aim to lead players through the more difficult challenges and aspects of a game.
