1. that depends on the reviews, but i prefer rpgs to most other game genres
2. im always on the g4 site, looking for reviews for games ive seen commercials for
3. i NEVER use cheats in rpgs, its the most noobish thing anybody can do (plus most good rpgs dont have cheat codes anyway...)
4. i usually play a game through first, thten use a walkthrough to see what i missed
5. only if its for the pc and im aware of it. i dont have xbox live...
6. that depends on the combat. for turn based, gotta have a party. but if its real time, party members just get in the way and die.
7. multiplayer, unless the only people available are really stupid (though for some games, its impossible to be dumber than the AI)
