Cheats (The cool kind).

[Simple Bluff]

I love cheats, and I don't mean hacking into a game or some such (although mods can be cool too) - no, I mean the type that were purposly implemented for us to discover or unlock. And not those boring "God mode", "Every level accessible" odds and sods either. I mean the ones that create interesting effect for comical relief and/or replayability.

My faveorites include "The rainbow effect" thing (yeah, I'm distracted by shiny things) from R&C: Tools of Destruction, "Bad Year" from COD:MW (works very well alongside the quadruple grenade cheat) and the "Doughnut Drake" skin from Uncharted 2.

What are your faveorite cheats and unlocks? Also, if it's an obscure cheat, please also post how you activate it.

Using the console in Fallout three to give myself 99999 nukes and the experimental MIRV. Ahahahahahahahaha.

Also, there's a very, very, VERY long and involved Easter egg in Uru that ends with you driving a zamboni around. I don't remember how to do it, but it made awesome screenshots.

Plants vs Zombies cheats, daisies and moustache = win xD

Also, in the Eternal Darkness game on the gamecube, if you got the purple rune, Mantoroc, and used reveal invisibility sure you revealed invisible stuff that you were supposed to, but you turned invisible aswell, so could just walk past enemies and even if you attacked them they didn't attack you.

The Invisible Cars code from GTA III. L1, L1, Square, R2, Triangle, L1, Triangle. I also remember one that made the cars fly, but I can't be bothered to look that one up.

That one in San Andreas that turns every pedestrian into Elvis Presley.

The Age of Mythology cheats are awesome. Flying Purple Hippos, Canadian Laser Bears, Methane Chicken Meteor Storm, and Titanomachy. Such great cheats.

First thing that comes to mind is the "Grunt Birthday Party" from Halo. I play with it so much that when it's not turned on, I think that the grunts are still alive after I've shot them. It's just not the same without the *POP* "Yaaaaaaaaaay!" and spewings of confetti.

Every cheat in Saints Row 2. Especially Drunk Pedestrians and Evil Cars. Also Armageddon weather.

Best anarchy simulator out there.

Probably the slow motion reaction cheat from Goldeneye.

 

[jamradar]

Every cheat in Saints Row 2 is awesome. But my personal favorite is evil cars, I also like the ones that change the size of your character, also drunk pedestrians, there is just to many to choose from.

Wow, I forgot all about GTA:SA when I made this thread. The cheats in that game are what made the co op so fun.

I remember collecting a game magazine when I was younger - Gamemaster - it came with a little cheat book every month for games that the public requested cheats to. And years after SA was released, it was still the most wanted game. Just goes to show how people loved those cheats so much.

One of GTA's biggest letdowns for me was the lack of cheats

In GTA
-Spawn tank.
-Go on rampage.
-????
-PROFIT!

 

[Eumersian]

My favorite cheat? Hmmmm?

Spoiler

Besides that, it's hard to say. I like to find weird and interesting glitches and have fun with those as much as possible. I can however say that I loved all of the surreal and secret tricks you could use in Super Mario Bros. 3. Good times.

I loved turning the gun to point backwards, and repeatedly firing. Gives a huge boost to your speed. XD
