Yes i do. i dont think its cheating and i only use them when im about to lose my head because i cant pass some part. i dont consider it cheating, i think its just an easier way to enjoy games. sometimes what i do is play a game with no walkthrough and then play it again to get all the specials and do everything right

using walkthroughs, like cheats, can ruin the game.I usually use spoiler free, and avoid cheats completely.So i do use them, but only in EMERGENCY's (as shen i have no clue...)

Yes,why not? but more better is u try the game 1st only get walkthroughs if u stuck at middle..i believe most of the games even u finish it, it still have some part that u din discover without walkthroughts..For rpg games like "Chrono Trigger" that include lots of ending, i bet u need it.. (u don't like the feeling that u game over just cause of choosing wrong way,aren't u? :) )

They help lots in a jam.

thats the only time i use one anyways i will work as hard as i can to get past a point but if i just cant then i will use one and after i beat the game i will use one the whole game and see if anything else happens that i may have missed like side missions

I usually use walkthroughs for games that have a bunch of "extras".Its kind of hard to find them all on your own, you know?

I never use Walkthroughs. By reading them, you finish the game too quickly, the game gets boring and you eventually sell the game. I don't fall for that.

i usually use walkthroughs when i'm stuck, or don't know what to do. but they're really a great help.. i think everyone should use em, without thinking that they're cheats.
