I notice that when my brother plays RPGs (Role Playing Games), he always have pieces of paper beside him like a guide book of some sort. I didn't mind this at all not unless they are scattered around our living room. Sometimes I even use them as scratch in writing important call messages or doodling. *Sorry Kuya.*

Never knew what these notes contain until my sister who loves to play as well, asks me to look for "walkthroughs" in games she plays. Looked it up in google, and there I learned that walkthroughs are another form of "cheating". And we all know that cheating is bad. Walkthroughs contains everything about the game. You can find there the characters, the levels/chapters, the secret levels or objects (that sometimes are no use at all,I've observed), how to use a weapon or an object, how to kill an opponent, or just go through the game without missing any detail. If you're into perfecting details, I'll bet you will love walkthroughs.

But is it bad when you do it in video games? Like life would really matter on it? Cheating in games, cheating in life?

Having to grow up with two brothers, I am used to seeing different game consoles and games, which I haven't imagined that there are such. My favorite video games would be racing, sports, or SIMS.. nothing serious and violent. I don't even get why people love to play games that has to kill aliens, or stealing or bullying. Although I find "Bully" pretty cool sometimes. *hehe*

Video games are for passing time as well as entertainment. The usual games I need don't need cheating or walkthroughs. Like what I have mentioned I only enjoy playing car games and sports. Other games just completely bore me. I play because I got nothing else much important or sensible to do at home, or it's because the PS2 is ignored by the kuyas and a usual change in my routine at home. You can bet that I 'try' to play PS2 only once a month. More than that, you can be sure, something's wrong with me. It's not a normal thing to do for me to stay infront of the tv and play whole day. I am that lazy to move control buttons the entire day. Hahahaha. Yes, I'm serious.

What I'm trying to say is that I think games are made to be enjoyed and not a thing to be serious about that you actually have to use cheating in order to finish it. What's the fun in it if use a guide sheet to run through (or walk through, whatever) in playing? You play because you get entertained and excited on the next level or next villain/opponent/alien or whatever!!

Bottom line: To really enjoy something, do it right. No cheating at all. Just like LIFE. You just go through with it without using guide books or walkthroughs. There are no pieces of paper you can peek at to know what's the next move. If there is, what's there to live for in the future? Right?

For walkthroughs(hehe) and more video/online games information, you can visit: Pinoy Gaming World. Hahahahahaha. Sorry, I just got to.
