What Are the Standard Video Game Tester Requirements?

admin — Sun, 14 Mar 2010 00:10:35 +0000

If you’re a gamer and wish to become a paid game tester, then you’re in luck, as the video game tester requirements are quite lax these days; hence, nearly anyone can get a job testing video games for pay.

Here are the most basic video game tester requirements….

Must be at least 18 years old. This requirement can be bent depending on the gaming company hiring you. Although they are typically few and far between, there are in fact companies out there hiring gamers whom are below the age of 18.

Must be an avid gamer with plenty of experience. In this day and age, who isn’t a gamer? A couple of weeks with Halo, Final Fantasy, Oblivion, and/or any other highly popular games and any person can call themselves an “avid” gamer.

Must be upgraded to next-gen. If you’re not playing next-gen video games nor own a next-gen system (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii), then you’re WAY behind when it comes to video game testing jobs. Since many developers have “at-home” testing opportunities, it is vital that you get up to speed and into the next-gen race. (If you don’t have a next-gen system, you need a high-end computer)

Must have high-end computer. If you’re more of PC gamer, then having a powerful computer is of crucial importance. A powerful PC means you will be able to put any of the developer’s games to the test without worrying about your own hardware problems. (If you don’t have a high-end computer, you need a next-gen system)

Must have a video game tester resume. It doesn’t matter how long you’ve been testing (or trying to test) games, you simply must have a professional looking resume. Professional game testing is a job, so you can’t expect to get by with just a smile and a “can I test games for you?” mentality. Remember, your resume doesn’t have to be breath taking — it just has to be professional and well put together.

The above video game tester requirements are really all you need to get started. In fact, some of those requirements might be null & void when it comes to certain developers. That being said, don’t be afraid to submit your application/resume just because you don’t meet a certain requirement — you never know what exceptions a gaming company is willing to make!

Wholesale Video Games Suppliers A Commodity – News

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 20:38:34 +0000

Did you know that even a wholesale video games suppliers list is a commodity? Most of the stuff we buy should be defined as commodities. Look at them closely, the material things – think of them. These are many homes Playstation 3, big screen TV’s, business partners, friends, discussion communities and even your selected work as there are many other choices to rely if wanting too – we decide what we want. Isn’t that true?

So what does this has to do with commodities and news regarding supplying? Since early 2000 the net has been growing strongly and reliable information has been filtered and hardly seen by those who need it most. A supplier in this case, a video games source, is an entity or another small business person providing services to retail customers. Such practice must often include other than you, a 3rd party in the video games industry. The 3rd party for the specific games business is the manufacturer.

The complexity with the unknown should now become simpler. In the video games business, video games suppliers aren’t the manufacturer as far buying in wholesale definition goes. Like when buying from a wholesaler or distributor, a supplier often charges you a fee for their bulk service. Distributors and wholesalers in this specific market most often provide you the customer, the one who is most likely wanting to save 10-30% in brand new accessories or brand new games a per unit individual discount instead of the bulk service fee.

Unless you practice or are in the re-selling business, suppliers for our specific gaming market should only be considered when wanting to offer entertainment accessories or games in advance from bulk purchases, net-30 contract practices (in which hardly the situation if playing with $40-$60 per unit) or you have a well developed established business. Most often as you may remember the word supplier goes well within the offline merchandise trade within your local favorite retailers.

It’s important to know the basic principles and concepts of such trading facets. While many of us can understand the tangible advantage from buying audio or stereo equipment from a determined supplier, buying in bulk for saving a small percentage for your own entertaining home purposes would likely become a frustration. There’s a difference between an efficient $600 “Audio Pipe” audio music systems for your car, than a $32.95 “Fight Night 3″ PS3 game. Would you lose an inch of influential pep talk for acquiring a discount from an already maxed out discounted game? I guess not!

In conclusion, make sure to at least know the difference and basics of supplying games for unit discounts and buying a wholesale video games suppliers commodity for just a specific item you are interested at the moment. Even when many of us consult and offer specific source contacts, it’s obvious for many of us to save more money from distributors, wholesalers, clearance companies and liquidation services than it really is in most of the cases for video games suppliers or wholesale bulk purchases that you might delay on getting to successfully re-sell.

Endless Ocean: Blue World

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 07:57:57 +0000

I wish there were more games like this for the Wii. This is an excellent game as is the first version. I would recommend to anyone that enjoys games outside of first person shooters. Any real gamer should enjoy this. Its also a very nice game to look at especially at the moment; its a grey dull winter outside currently.

One problem, that might not bother some, is that this game references global warming and other environmental BS. I really do not like it when people put messages into things to brainwash young minds that might be playing this. I have to explain to my kids that global warming fake and make them understand that these message are put into things because nut jobs cant back up their claims with evidence, so they repeat the message again and again. Then people start to believe it and the nut jobs start raking in the money (al gore). This is the reason I took of a star on the rating.

If you have a mind and can see past the propaganda there is a great adventure game here.

EA SPORTS Grand Slam Tennis

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 07:57:56 +0000

I bought this tennis game and the Nintendo Wii Plus attachment for the controller on the assumption that it would be more fun than the original Nintendo Wii Sports Tennis. I was wrong. This game is less fun. It requires pushing more buttons that confuse the player. The game is less easy to play. The Wii Plus seems to add nothing to control of the ball that is not in the original Wii Sports Tennis. The game is too fast and the “player figure” seems to jump around and get out of position for the next shot. This does not happen in the original game. Perhaps the Nintendo system is too limited to make the game seem closer to “real”. The new technology from Microsoft and from Sony that eliminates the controller and uses a camera to “see” what the player is doing might be what is needed to give the player a more true to life experience of actually playing a real tennis game.

Developed specifically for the Wii, EA SPORTS Grand Slam Tennis delivers the deepest and richest tennis experience ever developed for the platform with real life tennis strokes letting anyone quickly pick up a racket and use every shot type and inch. read more.

Assassin’s Creed

admin — Fri, 12 Mar 2010 07:57:54 +0000

I have to say, waiting for over one week and paying what I’d pay in a store up the road is ridiculous, we were quoted this game only being $54.99 and we have been charged $64.85. When we called amazon they directed us to Taget, then we got some random email directing us BACK TO AMAZON. SAVE YOURSELF THE GRIEF, go to the local game stop and get your video games. I have my step kids coming in two days, and this game was supose to be a late christmas gift to him in two days, well, I’m not getting this game until January 9th after he leaves, AND IT WAS SHIPPED DECEMBER 27th. Once again, do yourself a favor, buy from somewhere else.

Video Game Beta Testers – Can I Really Get Paid To Play Video Games?

admin — Wed, 10 Mar 2010 19:30:07 +0000

Many people make a living as a video game beta tester. What this means is that they get paid to find bugs in beta versions of upcoming video games. The reason for this is quite simple. For the game company, it is financially beneficial to pay professional game testers to thoroughly test a game and all of it’s features so that it meets consumer expectations, and so that it is the best quality that can possibly be achieved.

Generally speaking, here’s how you get started: you contact a few game developers & game companies and you persuade them to hire you as a beta tester. In a nutshell, that’s basically what needs to be done. Sounds simple, right? Unfortunately though, it is much easier said than done.

The best way to “persuade” these companies and developers is by showing them your overwhelming amount of expertise in the video game industry; things like your skill level as a gamer, your ability to accurately document glitches and bugs, your ability to follow instructions to the letter, and so on and so forth. Occasionally, it means making them an offer they can’t refuse, such as testing a few video games for free (GULP). Why test them for free? Well, to get your foot in the door and show them that your a dedicated tester that just loves to play video games. Remember, they are looking for true blue game testers that can be remarkably efficient when testing video games.

When you begin landing video game tester jobs, you are generally sent a free copy in the mail as well as a questionnaire and “report” to fill out. Typically, you’ll be given an assignment to complete that either involves beating the entire game from start to finish or playing one level over & over & again. It really just depends on the information the developer needs.

Once you get your assignment, it’s time to go to work. Complete the assignment, fill out the form or questionnaire, and then mail it back to the game developer. It’s important to be fast with your video game testing and, at the same time, you must be professional as well. With that being said, get the work done quickly but make sure it is done accurately and without mistakes. After they have received your report, you will be issued a check in the mail. Typically, the checks are paid every other week to the video game beta tester.

To be a good game tester, you have to have an eye for detail, as well as the ability to play certain parts of a game repeatedly. At the same time, you have to be able to properly document errors and glitches that you find, which will be done via the bug reporting form.

When it comes to getting started and finding your first video game tester job, there are two paths you can walk. Path 1: You go out on your own and do everything completely by yourself without any help from anyone or anything. Path 2: You research and read through the numerous resources & testing guides in order to find a “tried, tested, and proven” approach that others have achieved success with. Obviously, the path you choose is up to you, but personally, I’d go with option 2. Why? Because video game testing is an industry made up of teams, not solo gamers. Plus, why would you want to “reinvent the wheel” when you can just improve upon it?

There you have it; a quick & simple guide on how to get paid as a video game beta tester.

PS2 Video Game – Download Ps2 Games Online

admin — Tue, 09 Mar 2010 02:13:18 +0000

Video Games have gone from strength to strength over the last 20 years. The consoles have got bigger & better, the games are getting more and more advanced and the players are getting better. Is there any sign of the computer game industry slowing down? No!

But one of the latest installments in the Video Game industry is the ability to download games, not only on your console but also on your average PC. Ps2 Video Games are now easily downloadable from websites. Once downloaded you can burn them straight onto CD (with software provided by the websites) and play them on your console. You can actually download as many games as you want! And most of the sites offer you a selection of videos, movies and music as well. You could be playing one Ps2 Video Game whilst downloading another!

If this all sounds complicated to you, it isn’t! It’s as simple as signing up to one of the Ps2 Video Game Download websites, searching for the video game, movie or tune you want to download, waiting for it to download, burning onto blank CD and you’re away! Downloads only take a few hours for video games and a few minutes for songs.

Which Video game download sites are the best ones though? There are a lot of them out there and a lot of them are scams, only offering you old games. Make sure the site has a money back guarantee and 24/7 support. These are definitely the main factors when parting with you money. (Which is usually only a small one time fee.)

If you want to download unlimited video games, movies & tunes from the comfort of your own home then Click Here!

Uncharted: Drake’s Fortune

admin — Sun, 07 Mar 2010 07:55:50 +0000

I just downloaded and played the demo to this game over Christmas.

The graphics were nice, but the game play was well annoying. It uses the new PS3 controler so you can move about like the wi, so as far as advancement goes, that is cool, but the game play was just too stop and go for me. It reminded me too much of Lost. I’d say this game is for the under 18 crowd and if I do buy it, I’ll wait for it to go on sale used for $10.00. I am still hooked on Call of Duty 4 online until the next Grand Theft Auto and Medal of Honor.
