Cheating in video games is widely condoned as long as players keep it in single-player. Cheats and tricks in games have been common for decades now, as they add an aspect of creativity and intensity that the default game does not include.

Most cheats grant extra bonuses to the players like invincibility, or free weapons, or infinite money. Other cheats however, come in the form of hints or unlockables which may help the player progress through the game easier and faster.

'Watch_Dogs' is no stranger to cheats and tricks. The game came out on May 27 this year and is available to the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, Xbox One, Wii U, and the PC. Cheats are already out on IGN, with details on how to activate them.

One such cheat is dubbed as an "Easy Shell Game Win." This can be achieved by playing the shell game and letting the hustler finish moving the cups around. The players must not indicate which cup they believe the ball hides in and pause the game, and access the Options menu.

From there, set the brightness to 100 and then unpause. Again, pause the game and for a second, players should see the outline of the ball in one of the cups. Choose the right cup and win the round.

Another cheat is dubbed a "Skill Points Exploit." To do this, the player must buy a lot of ammo at any store that sells it. Next, the player must earn a wanted level, and then hide out in the safehouse's bathroom. After the wanted level cools down, players can fire the weapon outside to reset the wanted level alert.

Let the wanted level cooldown again before shooting out of the window again. This can be repeated by the player as many times as he or she desires.
