Gaming Made Easy: Xbox 360 Walkthroughs

For gamers, there is nothing quite like the feeling of opening a new game, loading it up and getting lost in a fantasy world. However, on the other hand, there is also nothing quite like the feeling of literally getting lost in a fantasy world. While many players refuse to cheat, others are more humble and willing to admit when they need help. Modern video games are not like the video games of the past; they are endless, infinite, with countless characters and environments, and endless paths, decisions, failures and successes. It is even possible nowadays to complete a game without completing it at all. Thankfully, Xbox 360 walkthroughs exist to help those who need a little help, well, walking through. These cheats also allow gamers to band together, to relate and to communicate. Entire forums and debates, arguments and agreements have been created because of Xbox 360 walkthroughs; but like anything in life, it is better to walk together than to walk alone.

A Little Help from a Friend

Many Xbox 360 walkthroughs are published in the form of strategy guides. These books are sold at most stores, and include character and weapons lists, hints and tips, and complete maps and progressions for every level. However, these guides are limited; released officially by the gaming companies, they do not reveal every mystery. For the most detailed Xbox 360 walkthroughs, gamers need only turn to the internet and their fellow Xbox 360 enthusiasts-and save a little money at the same time.

Online Xbox 360 walkthroughs are countless. There are multiple walkthroughs for every game; while some are better than others, they all have something to offer, whether it be an extensive list of codes and cheats, or theoretically insight into character actions and background stories. By posting Xbox 360 walkthroughs online, gamers can exercise their freedom of thought; they are not subtlety advertising or promoting the game, and are instead offering a helping hand to fellow players, along with spreading their love of Xbox 360 games. For gamers, reading a guide that explains the actions behind the actions, going beyond the game to reveal motivations and history, is an immersion not available in official guides. By writing Xbox 360 walkthroughs, gamers can truly use their imaginations and creativity, and can further the game beyond the ending, or offer up a prologue to the action. However, not all Xbox 360 walkthroughs go this far; some do exist simply to get a player from the beginning to the end. But the option is there, and some gamers embrace it whole-heartedly.
