Welcome to TestGamer.com. I set up this site to help direct video game players with a desire to make gaming a full or part time career to the places that offer the best gamer opportunities. There are a couple of programs I have found that live up to their claims to show you how to become a video game tester.

GameTesterGuide is a proven program that explains what it takes to get paid to play video games and what companies have their "Game Testers Wanted" sign turned on.

An avid player myself, I was lucky enough to have family that encouraged any activity that stimulated the imagination and challenged my mind. I didn't let it rule my life, just set aside time to enjoy games like Mario Bros and Tetra with my friends.

Of course video games have become extremely advanced compared to the ones I grew up with. The graphics and interaction of games like World Of Warcraft, and the international role-playing have taken gaming to a totally different level. Testing video games takes more dedication.

This is why the companies creating and marketing the games need qualified people to beta test, design graphics and give solid input before sending the new video games to the highly educated market.

Many teen gamers start working at their neighborhood video store in order to have access to the most current games. The perks are good, but if you're like me, the money I made went right back into games and the latest consoles. It did provide insider gaming information on what jobs might be available as a game tester and other aspects of the gaming industry besides getting paid to play video games.

It isn't necessarily easy to become a game tester, but once you break into the gaming industry there are many employment opportunities. A vivid imagination is a great asset, but there are other areas like game developing,designing, programming and demonstration that come to mind.

If you don't work well under pressure being a game tester might not suit you. Deadlines and commitment come with the territory. You have to be able to consistently produce results in order to advance. Game testers wanted more say in the final edition of games, and in most cases this is now the rule.

GamerTestingGround is another established site that quickly sets you on the right path to testing video games for a living. The video game companies are expecting banner years in an already 50 Billion Dollar business in the near future.

The video gaming industry generates a huge following. It's hard to find a magazine rack that doesn't carry gaming news. These can be a good source for ideas about where you may want to begin. You can also find where the events that will let you network with other players are being held. The more information you can gather the better.

Both virtual reality gaming and role playing games require and encourage strategic thinking. At the rate video game technology is advancing there will be an even greater demand for competent game testers.

Don't hesitate! Check out how to get paid to play video games at GameTesterGuide.net and GamerTestingGround.com now!

New Game Consoles Expected In 2013

With internet companies testing out tier services (not so much TWC now) and them holding back bandwidth because “the market isn't there yet,” speeds are going to need to be higher or there better be some damn fast servers uploading. 10GB game isn't exactly streaming video. It's 10GB! Torrents that size could take days. And that's only If Microsoft developers kept the same size games.

Video Game Reviews.

Just like the film, the video game adaptation of X-Men Origins: Wolverine is all about Logan, his claws, and people being punctured by said claws. Raven has stated over and over again during the development process that they are trying to capture the essence of the character. Attack Of The Technovirus: As with any movie tie-in, X-Men Origins, Wolverine had to make the movie release date, and in doing so obviously missed out on a little bit of quality assurance testing.

The Impact of Game Reviews

I used to be paid to review board- and RPG-related materials for TSR'sDragon and other magazines 25-30 years ago, but I'd not write assigned video game reviews, as a proper review requires playing through the game, a much larger time commitment for video games. ... This comes back to the nature of the fans, who go to the sites with the “newest news”, who want to see the latest artwork for the Zerg (in a recent PC Gamer Magazine).
