Video games have never been a bigger business – last year earning an incredible $180billion in revenue, dwarfing both the movie and music industries.
The Scottish-made Grand Theft Auto V alone has earned over £6billion, compared to the $2.8billion earned by Avatar that made it the highest grossing film in history.
So, more of us are playing games than ever before, with a huge choice of titles to choose from.
But, what are the most recent titles that have had even hardened games scratching their heads and throwing their gamepads to the floor in frustration?
A recent study from gaming experts at Findmycasino.com has taken the last year’s highest-rated video games and used YouTube views in order to establish the games with the most cheat code views.
Here are the games that provide the most extreme challenges.
