How to Find Video Game Cheats Online

Nearly every video game player has done it. They might not all admit it, but sometime, late at night when they were all alone, they cheated at a game. Cheating isn't always bad; it can help you get past a point you can't figure out allowing you to enjoy the rest of the game, or it can bring new ideas to a game that you already finished and put away.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Search for trainer sites. A trainer is videogamer talk for an external program that, when run alongside the game, unlocks all sorts of things that you aren't supposed to do. These used to be almost exclusively computer based but with their increasingly complex internal storage, console users are seeing more of them all the time.
2. Visit official strategy guide pages. The biggest strategy guide makers out there have webpages where you can look over their stock. Some will let you sample a few pages before you buy--it might have just what you need.
3. Look around for online FAQ pages and message boards. These sites will contain a large amount of information on a wide selection of games. These will typically be in the form of walk-throughs and strategy guides.
4. Use peer-to-peer programs to search for additional options. While FAQ webpages are still very common, trainer pages are becoming less so. Often the trainers get released over a filesharing network long before anybody on the web puts it on a page.

Tips & Warnings

• Be very careful about what downloaded programs you run. If the trainer seems fishy don't use it and always virus scan everything before you run it.
