Before You Buy A Video Game – Cheat!

Posted on Jul 31, 2009 08:39:51 PM

Cheaters never win and winners never cheat. When it comes to video game cheats, however, cheating really means shortcuts, tips, tricks, and extras.

Some of you may have fond memories of Pong, Battlezone, and Asteroids. I know I’ve spent my entire week’s allowance every Saturday and the local arcade. In all honesty, I still play these games today on my pc. They offer the simplistic arcade action that some of us crave.

Today’s video games have gotten so complicated that entire books for a single game title have been written on how to finish them. The graphics, strategies, and multiplayer online aspects have taken video gaming to a whole new level. To be honest, it’s rare that I can even finish a game anymore, let alone win all the bonus cars or cool weapons.

After playing for a few hours I’ll often get stuck. Either I can’t finish a level or can’t find the special weapons to defeat the boss. If it weren’t for cheat codes, I’d probably just give up. Never enjoying the full potential game play, never getting my money’s worth. Even on the easiest settings, it’s almost impossible to finish a game anymore without cheating.

So before I buy any game, I’ll go online and check out the latest reviews, graphics, and best price. But I’m also looking to see if they have a walk through, cheats, and extras. You’ll usually find these written up by the professional paid reviewers, but don’t forget to check out the player reviews and forum. Sometimes the actual gamers will find even more cheats and extras that the professional reviewers missed.

No matter how good the preview is I want to see what the end users are actually saying. Also, no matter how bad the professional review is, I want to see what the actual gamers are saying. I can tell you that I’ve thoroughly enjoyed games that scored very low with the professional reviewers. After reviewing the gamer’s scores, I found they often enjoyed games much more than the professional reviews would lead you to believe.

Also check out your local video game store, ask the sales people what they think of the games. I found most of them are big time game players too and will give you an honest answer. We gamers need to look out for each other, don’t we?

Best Psp Game Cheats Found Here

Posted on Jul 26, 2009 08:58:53 PM

While playing game everyone tries to find cheats to make their gaming easy. Cheat codes for the PSP are also available all over the internet and most of them do work. But many a times the cheats you find don’t work properly. I can tell you about a few service providers who offer cheat codes for the PSP for absolutely no cost at all, you are never charged for any of the cheat codes you download. This write up will actually help you find game cheats that work for sure.

PSP cheat codes are a bit uncommon, but if you just know where to look you are sure to find a hell lot of game cheats for the PSP. Now it has been a couple of years since I have been downloading games for my PSP. And I am really amazed at the kind of game cheats that people and sites come up with. I usually don’t like suing cheat codes unless it is absolutely necessary. But if you want them they are always ready on the internet for you to use.

End of levels or places where I don’t know what to do next in the game, is where I usually use the game cheats. I can use almost every cheat known on earth and all these cheats found in one location. I will provide you with the link of this location at the end of this write up.

Now before I get into detail about cheats, I would like to tell you that you never need to pay for any of your PSP games. Just sign in to one of the unlimited download services with a one time minimal payment for a life time of membership. And then just keep downloading as much as you want and that is not only with game but also other files. I am not trying to market any particular service provider but I am just trying to tell you what the internet has to offer.

Many of the sites use a lot of tricks just to cheat you and thus make a lot of money. And so you need to be specifically looking for a good PSP download service provider. You also need to confirm that the site has a good customer support in case you have a problem. The provider also needs to offer softwares that help you demote your PSP firmware so that you can play all the downloaded games and also use the cheats on the PSP. Another important thing is the collection in their database; it needs to have a large amount of downloadable file, it should not be only that of games but also movies, videos, music, softwares, etc. so always make sure the provider offers all this.

One thing you need to be highly careful of is persistent monthly payments. These services are not here to help you but are simply here to cheat you and rob you of your money. There are also sites which offer multi-level membership, don’t sign in for them, they also rob you of your money. Always sign in for one payment unlimited download service sites, they are the most reliable and provide you with unlimited downloads for a lifetime and all that just for a minimal payment.

Jeremy Liner has reviewed over 42 PSP Game Downloads sites and finally decided that the absolute best service with the largest database and lowest entry cost is:

Home-game Cheating Awareness, Part I: Sleights of Hand

Posted on Jul 21, 2009 08:36:53 PM

According to general poker wisdom, there are eight types of poker cheating: Sleight of hand, collusion, angling, marked cards, misrepresentation of a hand, pot interaction, prepared decks and phony chips. In this article we will go over the main techniques used in sleights of hand.

 

1. The Mechanic’s Grip: Cheating players in charge of dealing hold the deck in a way that facilitates several types of cheating like peeking, second dealing and bottom dealing (to be explained later in this article).

 

Grip A: Cheating dealers have the deck on their palms, with the index and middle fingers by the short side of the deck away from themselves.

 

Grip B: Cheating dealers hold the deck with their thumbs on top of the deck, the index finger holding it around the front edge, the two middle fingers underneath the deck and the little finger around the rear edge. In this case, most of the deck is covered by the dealer’s hand.

 

2. The Peek: The dealers peek at the top card of the deck before dealing, which allows them to know who gets that card during the dealing or to deal it to themselves if wanted.

 

Maneuver: using the mechanic’s grip, the dealers make sure their thumb is blocking the top card from being pushed to the right; the cheats then push the card to the right slowly with their pinky finger and the ring finger if necessary, making the bottom right corner of the card curl, and the number of the card visible. This maneuver is hard to master but possible with enough practice.

 

3. The Second Deal: After peeking at the top card of the deck, the cheating dealer keeps the top card in place and starts dealing from the second card on.

 

Maneuver: using the mechanic’s grip, the cheating dealer softly pushes the top card inward from the rest of cards, leaving an inch of the second card exposed beneath it, easy to push forward with the thumb as if it was the first card. This maneuver is difficult to master, and it only works if the dealers have chosen the top card for themselves after peeking at it.

 

4. The Bottom Deal: After choosing a card, the dealers place it on the very bottom of the deck and deal it to themselves.

 

Maneuver: using the mechanic’s grip to hide the action, the dealers wait until everybody has their cards to deal themselves the known bottom card.

 

5. Extra Cards: As long as nobody is focusing too much on the dealing, cheat dealers deal themselves an extra card or more. These cards give dealers the advantage to choose the best card among them and get rid of the bad extra ones at some point of the game. 

 

Maneuver: Cheating dealers push two cards with the thumb holding the deck and grab both cards with the thumb and index fingers of the other hand; if done by the end of the deal, the extra cards will fall on top of the cards already dealt, which makes it almost unnoticeable. After choosing which cards to keep, cheating dealers have to either put back the extra cards into the deck, which is difficult, or dump them on the floor.

 

Vigilant players should check under the table for fallen cards after each hand, which could indicate extra-card cheating.

 

6. False Shuffling: The following are four ways of false shuffling,

 

a) Keeping the bottom card at the bottom: The cheating dealers divide the deck in two halves shuffled together by interlocking them. By ensuring that the half with the chosen bottom card is brought down first, the card will remain on the bottom. This maneuver is useful for bottom-dealing.

 

b) Shuffling the bottom card to the top of the deck. After peeking at the bottom card, cheating dealers undercut the deck by taking portions of the deck held in one hand with the other, and piling them on the table, and leaving the last card by itself in the left hand, to be naturally placed at the top of the shuffled deck. This maneuver is used for second or extra-card dealing.

 

c) Keeping one or more cards at the top of the deck. This can be done with the previous way of shuffling or by interlocking the cards, making sure the half with the wanted cards is brought down last. This maneuver is used for second or extra-card dealing.

 

d) Stacking the deck: It involves manipulating the deck in a way that allows cheating dealers to position the card(s) at the top, separated by a number of cards corresponding to the number of players before them, thus dealing themselves the wanted cards with nobody noticing. This requires the time to choose all the wanted cards before the dealers are seen at the table dealing, which is not always possible.

 

7. Palming: The dealers hide individual cards in their hands and hide them into their pockets, under their legs or by dropping them on the floor and covering them with a foot. Then, at the right moment, the dealers bring the card back when their hand requires it.

 

8. Shifting the Cut: The cheating dealers arrange the deck in a way that benefits their hand, yet let another player cut the deck in smaller piles along the table. The dealers identify the positions of each pile and allow the other player to stack the bottom pile into the middle of the deck. To restore the original order of the deck, the dealer picks up the original top pile (now in another part of the deck) and places it back on top, then moves the original bottom pile back to the bottom, and so on with the other piles. Extensive practice is needed for a cheating dealer to master this technique.
