Grand Theft Auto

Okay, there is just one stop if you are looking for cheats related to Grand Theft Auto. Grand-theft-auto.com.

They have information relating to all of the GTA series, which is nice so if you are a fan of the series you don't really have to go spending a lot of time searching the internet. On the other hand they do not appear to have any walkthrough information, just cheat codes.

In fact, if you are looking for a good walkthrough you are going to have a hard time of it. Over at planet grand theft auto, however there are some downloadable guides. As with any download, you do it at your own risk, so be careful.

My searching wasn't able to turn up a good html only site that had a good walkthrough. Sorry about that.

The Last Remnant

Well there are a number of walkthroughs available for The Last Remnant. It is a highly popular game, and naturally there are a number of sites out there that have pertinent information.

I am going to go with GameFAQs walkthrough this time, or better said their group of walkthroughs. I'll have to watch this one closely however. There will certainly be better sites developed in the coming months, but that isn't to say that you can't get the information you are after (assuming you just want to look at the text files).

If you are looking for a nice html walkthrough or something fancy then you will just have to wait.

There are a few sites out there offering cheats and bug/design exploits for The Last Remnant, but I can't in good conscience send you to them because they are full of popups and ambiguous/unreliable information.

Baldur's Gate

There are again a number of sites about Baldur's Gate. But if you are looking for walkthrough information then I would suggest stopping off first at sorcerer's place.

They have compiled a very good list of links that direct you to exactly the information you are looking for.

If you are looking for some quick cheats and or exploits, then there is a good list here.

Probably no point poking around the net looking for anything else related to Baldur's gate as these will give you essentially all of the information that you are looking for, or at least they should. If you need anything more in depth then you should probably be the one writing the walkthrough.

World Of Warcraft

Okay, at the time of this writing google says that there are 257 million web sites about world of warcraft. To put it bluntly you will have a lot of digging to do to find the "best" game sites out there for WOW.

I would recommend, however, starting over at tault.com. This isn't to say that they are the best, particularly if you are looking for a specific strategy for a specific build, but they are a very good start.

There are just so many good sites out there for specific characters that it would be futile for me to attempt to compile a list here.

A word of caution. There are also about a billion pointless blogs managed by various individuals and guilds, all of which won't really give you much in terms of game information. Essentially they are logs of what those people have done with the game and are not designed with a newbie's interests.

Fallout 3

Okay, there are quite a few options for finding information about Fallout 3. A lot of it is pretty good. Some of it isn't quite as good as others.

This is another one where you can pretty much skip IGN andn Gamespot. There are enough fans out there with solid info that you're better off going elsewhere.

Over at mahalo.com they have compiled a pretty good walkthrough. This is where I would start. Without going out and buying the user guide it is probably the best information since they include stuff about character creation as well as a guide to the quests.

A second source would be Carls Guides. The page is a bit more organized, but not necessarily any better as far as the information goes.

IGN has a concise list of cheat codes which may be useful if you are into that.

World of Goo

World of Goo offers some unique challenges in terms of gameplay.

You can find a nice video walkthrough at the World of Goo Blog. Beware it isn't the most organized of blogs on the planet, but the information is there. There is also some info regarding hacks and so forth, but it is a bit hunt and peck to sort out the non-video stuff, which are organized in neat links in the sidebar.

Unfortunately there just aren't a lot of good World of Goo sites out there at the moment, which means that if you are in the business of making cheat/walkthrough sites, and you happen to like World of Goo, then you are in luck. This is a great opportunity to get yourself a popular site.

There isn't anything over at IGN either, or Gamespot, so you can forego all the usual suspects.

Starcraft

Surprisingly enough, finding a good guide to Starcraft isn't as easy as it should be. The game is still pretty popular, and there are certainly enough people out there with resources to publish.

You can find a starcraft walkthrough here. It isn't necessarily perfect, but it is far better than nothing.

You can find a cheat code list here.

Again, neither site is what I would call super impressive, but you will get access to information about Starcraft from both. Anyone looking to build a website that will get traffic should just make a better Starcraft site than either of these as there really isn't a ton of competition out there for it.
