I have to agree, cheats limit your overall experience in games. However I will use them when I have very little time and many games that I want to play and beat (for storyline and sheer gameplay) I don't want to be hung up at a certain place in a game because I find it difficult to beat. Anytime I play my ps2 I treasure the experience... It's not saying, "I played GOW and beat it using no cheats!" It's more a long the lines of "I played GOW and it is a kick @$$ game!"
