Legitimate Online Jobs For Game Reviewers
February 25th, 2009 by admin
I love to play video games and feel I’m pretty good at reviewing them. Are there any legitimate online jobs for someone like me? It would be my dream job to play games as a tester and review them for development companies. I can’t think of any college classes/degrees that could prepare you for a career like this. Does anyone know how a person gets a job like this? You need very little experience to get an entry level job as a game tester. I would read up on some software testing methodologies to help you stand out of the applicants. It’s not like testing a beta – betas tend to be closer to the finished product. It is hard, hard work. You have to play games at the alpha stage, generally over 50 hours a week – games that aren’t finished and games that have almost no polish. It’s not nearly as fun as it sounds.
