Become A Video Game Tester

One of my subscribers has asked for some help.  Him and some buddies are trying to make a game called Mitrochron which is a MMORGPG/FPS game.  They are trying to release it this year and it will be completely free to download, register and play.

Bioshock is a new game put out by a company named 2K Games located in Soho.  I just found out that they are looking for game testers to work in their offices in NYC.  It sucks that it is only for New York residents, but that is my home town!

Snoop Dog is back with his second annual Hip Hop Gaming League.  Gamers from all over the US are invited to compete in tournament style play against the biggest names in Hip Hop.

Are video games addicting?  Absolutely.  I myself am personally addicted to several video games right at this moment.  Is that a bad thing?  I certainly don’t think so.

Believe it or not, an older console outsold all of the newer ones on the market this past year.

So we’re back in the thick of WWII.  Only problem is it just isn’t as much fun as it was with the past two versions.  The single player game lacks basic information.  Whereas the past versions were able to draw you in and make you feel like you were in the center of it all, Call of Duty 3 lacks that “reality” effect.  Don’t get me wrong, it’s not that the graphics are of low quality, it’s simply the fact that in the midst of play, the game does not give you enough information to allow you to feel a true part of the action.  In the past versions, you definately felt as if the war was going on around you at all times.  This version just doesn’t compare.

So I was talking to a fellow gamer and was so excited about being able to download the old Legend of Zelda and Mario Brothers games that she used to play back in the day, just one of the cool features of the new Wii.  I’m hearing a ton of awesome reviews for the new Nintendo system.

So think you’re hot enough to get on the pro circuit tour?  If you’re a hard core gamer and think you have what it takes to play other gamers for prices and just to hold a record, then maybe you should think about signing up.
