Half-Life 2 Online Strategy Guide
Add the parameter
-console to your hl2 executable. The best method is to create a new shortcut to the hl2.exe and change its command line by adding the cheat/console parameter and then saving the shortcut. This way, you can play Half-life 2 with or without cheats (you can rename your shortcut to reflect this).
For some versions of Half-Life 2, you may need to add a longer parameter string -applaunch -dev -tconsole instead of the previously mentioned parameter.
Bring DOWN the console and enter “sv_cheats 1”.

Ubisoft’s first person shooter Far Cry can bring tears to your eyes. Even with hordes of shooters released every year, Far Cry manages to stay on top. It plays like a perfect marriage of stealth and action — with some the best graphics ever seen in any game, on any platform. Still, there’s another reason Far Cry will have you reaching for your hankie. The AI has a tendency of reducing even hardcore shooter fans into weeping babies, so don’t fret over reloading the same checkpoint 12 times if needed –we’ve all done it.Well, wipe those puffy eyes. We at IGN have written a thorough guide to Far Cry because nobody really wants to reload a game 12 times. Whether you need tips handling a vehicle, help getting to that next checkpoint, or simply want to finish the mission before your head explodes from frustration, we have you covered.
Get the guide here.
