I have this game rented, and have a question about the skill points. In the menu, where you click on to spend your points, I have a message of sorts at the bottom that says, "50 Skill Points Unspent" And my skill level is that of 12. If I have already acquired the max skill level, (If that level is 12), then how come I can't spend the remaining skill points? The highest point level that I have, on any one area is an 8....?? Any help would be greatly appreciated

PS: Don't know if this means anything, but I am using a game shark, and have the codes put in for max skill level, and quick level up....etc.....
Thanks

eight is the highest level you can have I played it with a game shark once and no matter what you do it will still say fifty points
