There are dozens of different cheats to type into your Grand Theft Auto video game, but we narrowed it down a bit to pick the top three cheats that seem to be worth using time and time again. There will always be time for the fun random cheats but you probably aren't as likely to use them as the ones listed below.

1. Max Health and Armor: This is probably the best cheat to have in any game that offers the opportunity to have Max Health and Armor. You can use this to protect yourself when you know you'll be having any encounters with the police or even when you're on missions where you will be shot at continuously. Keep in mind that the cheats do affect whether or not you get the special achievements.

PS3 - Max Health and Armor - Circle, L1, Triangle, R2, X, Square, Circle, Right, Square, L1, L1, L1
Xbox 360 - Max Health and Armor: B, LB, Y, RT, A, X, B, Right, X, LB, LB, LB

2. Lower Wanted Level: Coming in at a close second is the special ability to clear the screen from any police involvement and send your wanted level lower down. This gives you more of an opportunity to escape unharmed and to continue on with whatever you were doing before the police disrupted it.

PS3 - R1, R1, Circle, R2, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left
Xbox 360 - RB, RB, B, RT, Right, Left, Right, Left, Right, Left

3. Give Weapons: In order to beat everyone else in this game you'll need to be more equipped than them. This will give you the chance to have an edge over your opponent in case anything ever happened.

PS3 - Triangle, R2, Left, L1, X, Right, Triangle, Down, Square, L1, L1, L1
Xbox 360 - Y, RT, Left, LB, A, Right, Y, Down, X, LB, LB, LB
