Ask A Question
Featured Image for Questions of the Month for July

Each month we field all manner of different questions on askaboutgames. Some people have intricate queries about particular games while others want to know which console will be best for their family. Here are our picks this month.

Question: My mother is going to buy a Skylanders Giants game for my 3DS but I am little worried about region lock. I am in Turkey and I cant find it here so she is trying to buy it at Dubai. My 3DS is Eur.

Answer: 3DS consoles are region locked so you need to buy games for it from the same territory in which it was purchased. You can however use the Skylanders figures in any region.

Question: I have Clive Barkers Jericho for ps3 and it says there are cheats in the instruction book but I can't get access to the website on the booklet. Please help!

Answer: Although some caution should be used when looking for help online as it may spoil the intended experience of the game, you can usually find help by Googling the game name and "tips" or "cheats". I tried this for Jericho and the information seemed to be widely available.

Question: I have the Puzzler Collection game for DS is there any cheats for it?

Answer: As per the previous answer you can find cheats and help online by Googling the game name followed by the required information. In this instance it seems there are some unlock codes that should help you progress if you are stuck.

Check back next month for more great questions from readers, and our best attempts to answer. If we've missed anything in our responses this month, why not fill in the gaps in the comments. Also, you can ask your questions here.
