The question "Where can I find tips on computer games" crops up with enough regularity that I thought I'd list my primary way of finding all those cheat codes, walkthroughs, and game guides.
There are so many sites out there catering for cheats, hints and tips on computer games that it is useful to filter them down to a manageable level.
And so we're off...straight to the mighty Google. The Big G. Now, with Google, you tend to find that what you put into it has a huge bearing on what you get out of it. You need to learn a bit of Google-Fu.
Typing in, say fifa 2008 when you're stuck trying to fathom FIFA's control system is going to bring up an ocean of unwanted search results. Good luck to searching through those thousands of links.
No, you need to give it a little more context... Expand your query to something a little more relevant to your problem: fifa 2008 hints or learn fifa 2008 tricks or even fifa 08 tricks guide - now you're giving google a lot more to work with and it'll automatically filter down those huge numbers of results.
But that's not all. You can go a step further than that - by wrapping your search phrase in double-quotes, you can tell google to only find those sites with exact matches. This means google won't do any guesswork - as long as you're phrase is used out there on the internet it'll just return those exact sites.
So now, you can use something like "fifa 2008 hints" or "learn fifa 2008 tricks" or "fifa 08 tricks guide" and you know you're getting much more relevant results.
There you go, it's as easy as that. The next time someone asks you "where can I find tips on computer games", just point them towards google and show them how to properly filter their search phrases.
