How To Become A Game Tester

Hello, I am Rene Millman and I'm the editor of Absolute Gadget, the gaming and gadget all news website. Today I'm going to be talking to you about how to get the most out of your Wii console. In this video, we will be showing you how to become a games tester.

Now it seems a dream, doesn't it really? You've got the console and you want to play games all day long and you might want to get paid for playing games all day long and you're thinking that, well if I can test these games, not only will I get paid but I'll get to play the games way before anyone else does. Now that seems like a good idea but you've got to be a bit careful because if you look on the internet, you'll see that there are various websites that will say they can help you become a games tester if you give them some money and you sign up for their website. Now I would really really warn against you parting with your money to a company who reports to get you a job as a games tester.

Really? If you want to become a games tester, I think you actually need to contact that game's company directly. Now before you do that, I would make sure you get very very good at particular games, and also, being a games tester, you need to find fault with games because it's not just a simple case of “Oh, I really like that and it was really really good,” but you know there might be some mistakes that need to be pointed out. If you can point out these mistakes even when the game is actually out and sold, then you'll get yourself a name as somebody who can see where a game can be improved.

If you do that and you get really good at it and you can help games companies produce better games, you're on your way to becoming a games tester and that's how you become a games tester. .
