I use cheats for games like, Disgaea, they are mandatory since I have absolutely no patience for the level system in that game, also for money, but that's it.

For other games, I cheat for fun after I beat it legit or if I've tried to finish it hundreds of times and had no luck.

Only to have lots of fun if I'm bored. For example, I used it in Death Jr. to get all the guns with infinite ammo in order to go into extreme overkill with explosive hamsters.

Only after I've beaten the game to the point where I've used up all replay value. Cheats, to me, are pretty much gaming life support.

Depends, I don't usually play the sort of games that require cheats though (ArmA2, Mount and Blade Warband, Live for Speed, Rigs of Rods, Men of War etc), but when I DO, I don't use cheats because it's not fun, we need challenge otherwise it's boring.

personally, I'm a bit of a purist, I don't use cheats at all... except in grand theft auto: liberty city, and I didn't buy that game, so I did it for stupid fun.

Interesting question.
I would use a cheat/guide if one or more of the following applies;
1. I've spent more time on a level then I think is worth it (for that level or the whole game).
2. If I'm bored with the gameplay but not bored with the game.

It depends on the game, in Starcraft 1 and Warcraft 3 cheats are more like modifiers since they apply to everyone. In Prototype you don't need such a thing, the game just about gives you cheats what with flying, no fall damage, etc. Spore you'd use them just to get and fiddle with all the cool stuff so you can stop playing already.

Never for online play.

For games I've already completed, occasionally I have. And whenever I had codes for Mortal Kombat, rather than give myself carpal tunnel syndrome, I'd enter codes for one touch fatalities. But otherwise, no.

Defeats the point of the game.

and all your bullets have explosive force on impact.
When you're emptying a whole clip into a room full of meatbags, you know why cheats can be fun.

If i've completed a game or if the game's really really bad and i know i'm not playing it further any other way.

If i'm bored on sandbox games i sometimes use small cheats too, like spawning funkier cars on GTA.

I pretty much only use cheats to get a truckload of money (if you NEED money real bad in the game), because I'm to lazy to save it myself.

Besides that, I don't really do anything else XD

Only for fun. Goldeneye, GTA (before it put on its serous face), Starcraft, Duke Nukem.

Only if I've already beaten the game or am bored and just want to mess around.

Only when a game glitches on me or faces me against impossible enemy (and I accidentally pressed quick save... happens more often than it should...).

And sometimes (depending on a game) for a laugh, but only if I legitimately finished the game before.
I do all that mainly because quite a few years back I got so used to cheating that I couldn't legitimately beat a game (KOTOR 2 for example). Thankfully I got out of that "addiction" :).
