There are many hardware options available for the computer game fan to consider; they have their consoles for hardcore gaming and their smartphones for playing apps while travelling or when they are enjoying a 'break' at work. At home, they can fire up the laptop and sneak online during a quiet evening to enjoy a stint in the casino, a game of poker or even a few online bingo games with Ladbrokes.
The fact of the matter is, there are more ways than ever to enjoy gaming online and whether you are a fan of Ladbrokes bingo sites, while away the hours on Farmville, or prefer the gruesome splattering of alien fiends in Gears of War, there is always a hidden agenda for every player - to find that elusive game cheat that makes playing more rewarding.
Of course, the games you play on online bingo sites at Ladbrokes do not contain cheats; that is against the law, but many other forms of software do contain a variety of modifications and over the years, they have increased the enjoyment and in-game experience for the player immeasurably.
The other side of this is that many cheats have been added to games that have just made absolutely no sense at all, unless the aim was to make the player spend most of their time laughing at the absurdity of it all. Listed below are five of the most amusing developer add-ons that serve no other purpose than being included to make you smile.
1. Alien babies on The Sims 2
Quite why anybody who has an alter ego in The Sims 2 would require an alien baby is beyond understanding, but EA Sports felt that it would be something their players would certainly enjoy. Now thankfully, you don't need to watch the skies through your telescope in the hope a passing UFO would abduct you and impregnate your character. Instead, you can use a series of BoolProp cheats and commands to impregnate your character without the need for anal probes, mind control or appearing in a third-rate Hollywood B-movie.
2. Big heads on FIFA 1998
The football Goliath has many fans and a long history with its relentless domination of the soccer simulation market set to continue. There was a time in the past however, when FIFA programmers also had a sense of humour. One such time came in the 1998 version of the game when a simple cheat would give all your team's players exceedingly big heads. Nowadays, the same effect has been achieved by paying real-life players exorbitant wages and accepting their childish behaviour because they can kick a ball in a straight line and run relatively fast.
3. All recipes on Cooking Mama
The appeal of this game is lost on many people, so a cheat that unlocks all recipes by simply pressing a combination of six keys in sequences is an absolute godsend. This means that you don't have to waste time playing, you can buy a cookbook and do the real thing in your kitchen instead.
4. The change clothes cheat in Grand Theft Auto
If there were an award for gruesome pointlessness in games then this would certainly be in with a great chance. After immolating your character at a train station, you then have to walk onto a railway line to electrocute them. Your reward for activating this cheat on a console is that you get to wear the same clothes your character wears in the PC game. A trip to Greenwoods has never seemed more appealing.
5. The Lara Croft is nude cheat on Tomb Raider
For a long time, the very thought of seeing the impossibly nubile hero of the Tomb Raider series naked on screen kept gamers in a feverish state of excitement. Cheat after cheat was put forth as delivering a naked Lara on screen and one by one they were proven inaccurate. The Lara Croft is nude cheat is the funniest cheat ever made because despite being one of the most sought after, it was never added to the game and that was a stroke of genius.
