10 Times Video Games Cheated To Beat You

7. Always Watching - Call Of Duty: Black Ops

Since many of us having honed our COD skills to a degree perhaps rightfully labelled "worryingly good", it's only fair that the games have AI programmed to give us a proper challenge.

However, that doesn't equate to omnipotent opponents, which it can sometimes feel like you're facing off against in Black Ops.

Only, it isn't just a feeling - it's a reality. Watching a killcam of one of these clever robot murderers can often show you them tracking unfortunate players through walls, which crosses the line between "a very difficult AI opponent" into "come on man, walls exist in games for a reason".

They're not impossible to kill, and taking an enemy out knowing they can do things like this does make you feel a little bit more badass. But it can still put you off playing against them a bit, if only because it feels a little like playing imaginary games with that one kid who would have a "bullet proof forcefield" to prevent themselves from ever dying.

I like my comics like I like my coffee - in huge, unquestionably unhealthy doses.
