One particularly enlightening comment was about the famously awfulVelvet Assassin: “Agame where a woman skulks in the shadows before slitting the throats of men, or alternately stabbing them in the heart or in the back?...

If there’s one series known for its cheats, it has to beGrand Theft Auto. Enhancements have been used in more ways than one, from God mode to jet packs. In recent years, the franchise has branched off into mobile territory, taking your mischief on the go. So, if you want to skip a few steps, we’ll show all theGTA San Andreasmobile cheat codes.
