I usually play through the game once and if I like the game I will use a walkthough the second time I play the game to make sure that I get everything I can get out of the game

I try not to used a walkthrough, but when I stuck at a place and I can't get a way to solve after a few try(mostly after 1~2 hour trying) then I will refer to a walkthrough.

I use walkthroughs every once in a while. But I always check to see if there is an easter egg or glitch guide.

As has been said before, using walkthroughs spoils everything. Once I look at one of those, there's no challenge to the game and, especially if I've paid for the game, it makes it a waste of money. FAQ's I don't mind because sometimes I do have things I can't figure out and FAQ's do answer those questions.

lol if i get REALLY confused walkthroughs are pretty good. the bad thing is that i get slightly addicted to them and start using them for the whole game which sorta ruins it :'(

I only resort to a walkthrough when I'm totally frustrated and I've tried everything I can think of and the stupid game still hands me my butt. While I don't think there's anything wrong with using walkthroughs, I also find that the end result is so much sweeter when you finally figure out that last dungeon or whatever without any help.
