I was just wondering what you guys think is the worst way to go about beating a game.

GUIDES

+ It only gives you a finger to point you to the right direction
+ If you beat the game, you still beat the game... the guide shows you how, but you did all the on screen work yourself
+ Some knowlege about games you could never get without a guide...

CHEATS

+ You can still be suprised in the game because it doesn't give away the story line
+ You would still have to do mental puzzles on your on
+ Some cheats make the game more enjoyable (big heads, invinceablity)

Here are the list of games, and you give your reccomendation (keep in mind that when I say "Cheat" it means being invincable, and when I say guide, it means it tells you how to beat the game.

Just give a simple "Cheat" or "guide" answer to these games:

1. Goldeneye/Perfect Dark
2. Kingdom Hearts
3. Mario Sunshine
4. Eternal Darknes and/or Resident Evil
5. Grand Theft Auto 3 or Vice City
6. Madden 2003

***list what you think is worse*** (special thanks to DsH)

Then state your opinion
