GRID Cheats - Codes for all GRID Racing Games

Tuesday June 17, 2008

Some people hate it, others love it. GRID is a racing game that I have yet to get my hands on — but there are cheat codes for all versions of the game! As a friend of mine put it, "GRID is like a combination of Project Gotham Racing and Gran Turismo". Don't shoot me if that's not accurate, I haven't played GRID yet.

If you have the game and are interested in the codes, most of which unlock vehicles, check the links below. If you know of more GRID cheats or secrets please let me know and I will add them to their respective cheat pages.

Mass Effect Cheats - PC

Tuesday June 3, 2008

PC owners of the video game Mass Effect are in luck, since there are actually cheats for this version of the game (the Xbox 360 Mass Effect only has unlockables and achievements). There is one small drawback to this however, since in order to use the cheats you need to manually edit one of the game's files.

Editing game files really isn't that intimidating, the main thing to keep in mind (and not forget) is to make a backup of any file you plan on modifying, before you make any changes to it.

If you need more help you can read this article on editing PC game files, a part of the PC Cheats FAQ section. OK, now lets get to cheating in Mass Effect!

Okami Cheats and Unlockables - Nintendo Wii

Thursday May 8, 2008

If you know me, and I hope many of you at least feel as if you know me through my posts here; then every time you hear me talk about Okami on the PS2 you hear me say go ahead and buy it. Well, as it turns out they did an equally impressive job on the Nintendo Wii version of the game. So now the choice is yours; buy it on the PS2 or buy it on the Wii.

Okami is a very unique game based on Japanese mythology which is presented in a unique paintbrush fashion which makes it one of the best looking titles on the PS2 to date (and feel free to insert Wii into that statement). While the gameplay isn't very hard, you can enjoy the views and the story from start to finish. Here are some unlockables for both versions of the game.

Grand Theft Auto Cheats and Codes

Wednesday April 23, 2008

By this time next week a large portion of PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 owners will be playing Rockstar Games' Grand Theft Auto IV, the long awaited next gen version of the highly popular GTA series. So, as a reminder, all Grand Theft Auto cheats can be found on the GTA Cheats Index. And next week this will include any and all cheats for Grand Theft Auto IV as well, so be sure to check back once you have the game in your hands to see what cheats are available for the game. Oh, and I actually think Jack Thompson will keep quiet this time, due to the impending election and his link to Hilary Clinton... we may just be so lucky!

    Includes links to all Grand Theft Auto cheats, codes, and secrets; for all versions and platforms of the GTA series.

Dark Sector Unlockables for Xbox 360 and PS3

Tuesday April 8, 2008

While I have yet to personally play the game, it seems everyone I talk to has the same thing to say about Dark Sector; try it! Apparently it lacks a good storyline to hold it all together, but if you're up for a good first person shooter and have had enough of what's currently available, give it a shot. But there is more bad news for cheaters out there — there are no cheats for Dark Sector; just unlockables, achievements, and entitlements. You can get the full scoop by reading the links below.

Saturday March 22, 2008

The latest version of Tom Clancey's Rainbow Six series has been released on PS3 and Xbox 360. There are cheats and codes for both versions of the game; Tom Clancey's Rainbow Six Vegas 2. Although, the one cheat that unlocks the TAR-21 is pretty silly, especially since its unlocked in the game early on at Marksman level 4. The PC version is slated for release later in April, for now, the console version cheats are linked below.
