Cheat!
Cheat! is a TV show on G4 (formerly G4techTV) and Jack TV that provides cheat codes, strategies, and other hidden features for video games. The show is hosted by Kristin Holt, who replaced original host Cory Rouse in November 2004.
Cheat! was one of the first shows to be on G4 when it launched in spring 2002. Host Cory Rouse would give tips and cheats on a couple of games from the studio in the early episodes. In fall 2002, G4 made a deal with Pringles to have them sponsor the show. Cheat was now officially known as "Cheat, Pringles Gamer's Guides". Cheat was one of G4's most popular shows. In certain episodes Rouse would leave the studio and film on location based on the game he was reviewing. Notable episodes of these years include Rouse getting advice from the staff at Tips and Tricks magazine, looking at Knights of the Old Republic as a Jedi Knight and Sith Lord, and looking at The Matrix.

Cheating
Cheating is defined as an act of lying, deception, fraud, trickery, imposture, or imposition. Cheating characteristically is employed to create an unfair advantage, usually in one's own interest, and often at the expense of others. Cheating implies the breaking of s. The term "cheating" is less applicable to the breaking of laws, as illegal activities are referred to by specific legal terminology such as fraud or corruption. Cheating is a primordial economic act: getting more for less, often used when referring to marital infidelity.

Cheat
A cheat is a deceitful practice of a public nature, in defrauding another of a known right by some artful device contrary to the plain rules of common honesty.
To constitute a cheat the offence must be of a public nature for every species of fraud and dishonesty in transactions between individuals is not the subject-matter of a criminal charge at common law; it must be such as is calculated to defraud numbers and to deceive the people in general. The cheating must be done by false weights, false measures, false tokens or the like, calculated to deceive numbers.
That the object of the defendant in defrauding the prosecutor was successful. If unsuccessful, it is a mere attempt. When two or more enter into an agreement to cheat, the offence is a conspiracy. To call a man a cheat is slanderous.
