A tactic available in a game which is loved and loathed in equal measure. people who abuse a cheap tactic would call it "effective" as it is available for use in the game. As effective as it may be, abuse of a cheap tactic can detriment skill at a game as cheap tactics do not usually require a great deal of skill to utilise in the first place. People can also become reliant on it to win, further detrimenting skill. Cheap tactics tend to proliferate themselves as people adopt a cheap tactic to counter the same cheap tactic used against them (esp. the combo in Halo 2). The debate about a particular cheap tactic can become never-ending, due to the mixed opinions on the debate of cheapness vs effectiveness.

Marvel vs capcom 2: Cable's air hyper viper beam is cheap. Playing well with magneto is not cheap as skill is required to be good with him.

"ha ha--he's using the combo!- How cheap!"

1. a term to qualify a person, action or condition as bad or undesirable. 2. a way to express one's disapointment. Commonly prefaced by "That's so...", "freakin'...", or followed by "...crap."
There may be a guy or girl you see who in the interest of popularity does certain things to make themself look "cool," but in your opinion the things they do are really lame. You may say that this person is cheap. If my computer was to crash in the middle of my writing a long blog I would have said, "What the...? That's so cheap." You may come home after a long day and there is nothing you would like to watch on TV. In that case, TV is being cheap.
