    I'll just drop a few examples of some games and glitches that I've found have enhanced my enjoyment of the games. Loads of glitches I know basically just give you an easier game though, like in Dark Souls you can fairly easily dupe Homeward Bones (warps back to the bonfire), Souls (the currency/exp) and buff unbuffable weapons. These glitches are all used by speedrunners, but I don't think think they're necessarily good examples of glitches that really add something, instead basically removing limits to make the game easier.

    One of the glitches can actually be fun to use though. It's used to swap one weapon's moveset to another's, so in speedrunning they use it to get a rapier's moveset (fast stabs) on a Ultra Greatsword with the high damage. But you can use it on any two weapons, and since Dark Souls is also a fun game to do challenge runs with, it basically gives you a lot of options to play with.

    There's some simple stuff, like when I was younger I played a lot of Tony Hawk games. In THPS4, if you were to stand in a corner and do a trick into it (usually a kickflip is easiest), you could relatively easily clip through the wall. Basically just giving you a behind the scenes look at a lot of the levels.

    Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 was the only game I played for a year after it'd come out, and by the time we had our hours in, there had been loads of glitches found. I don't remember all of it, but I remember pressing certain button combinations, swapping weapons etc. to get your shotgun to do a weird animation (like it spun around in your hand or something, don't remember it all). There was also a trick where if you used a throwing knife, held it, locked onto someone with it and then backed off, you could melee teleport knife him from literally 20 meters away (yes, it was worse than the Commando perk, but it was basically unusable online).
    The thing that I remember most fondly though is in one of the levels (Quarry), if you were in a private match with a friend, you could (with friendly fire turned off) shoot each other with a shotgun, and by the knockback kick him up some stone steps that you wouldn't normally be able to get on to. Do that a few times, and you can reach the top of the level. Nothing major really, but I had fun dicking around with it back then.
