I only use strategy guides for RPGs because I'm a perfectionist. And some levels like the Water Temple in Zelda are just damn impossible to get through without some form of help.
I don't use codes unless it's to unlock a costume or something superfluous. Except for the Matrix. Codes were mandatory for that game to be remotely fun.
I for one, use cheats when I'm stuck at a level. I get very busy and my attention span is very limited when it comes to games. Either I beat the game in the two days off I get, or I try to beat it the next couple of days after that. But, once I start playing another game, I never will finish it, so I use a cheat to get past the really tough parts.
I also use cheats when the game is cheap. For example, facing an boss, who is crazy ass tough, but when you wittle his health down, he gets it back, and then the cycle repeats itself. Thats when I use a cheat, because the learning curver is so unbalanced, its almost impossible, unless you keep on playing for months to beat it. But I, dont have that type of time to actually do that.
On non-online games but ones at home, if I'm having trouble with a game, I like to put on God-mode and play through on the most difficult setting. Then things seem a bit easier on replay.
When i was young i used to use cheats, but as i got older and better at games, i dont cheat anymore too. I like doing things without having to use cheats, and finsh the game 100%.

I never "Cheat" but I do use "Cheat codes" AFTER I have beten the game (And only if it is a worthless one, like turning all your enemies into uh... CHICKENS! or allows you to go around and blow stuff up... like the Infinate $$ in Mercinarys, which will allow you to buy infanant C4 )

The cheat does it but someone has to make that cheat happen, for eg by insertting a cheat code.
