Yeah cool job 
You have to be able to analzye the bugs and mention the gameplay experience.
Your not just paid to play games, you have to test etc.
Where you working at and for what console?

it basically tells you what you need to do and how to get these types of job sand provides links pretty cool.
but yeh the game arn't meant to be fun you have to find problems but you can still have fun and you usually get to keep the games as well as get paid

because he loves resistance?
i would love to do for nay as a start it would be hard to get into a major one straight away
lukeclem1 said: why Insomniac Games??
Due to my impressions on Resistance 1 and buying a REAL console (besides 360) i was inspired to revolve my life around video games. Want to do character/background design mostly. Anyway after playing Resistance 1 and a few Ratchet and Clank games, i knew Insomniac would be a great place to work for. So now i'm working hard as a drawer and hoping that i can become a part of the company one day. And the company is located in California as well.

I'm 16. Was playing Nintendo games before so it never really got me to become a 'gamer'

Yeah i saw their website before and what they're looking for. Basically i have to work my arse off during my last two yrs of high school if i want to go somewhere that'll teach yu the things you want in order to work in games. Hopefully all that work will pay off.

Man, I can't believe you paid for this...
It's a con. They made you pay for information that is freely available.
You didn't think to do research or just email some gaming companies?
Game Testers get treated like and paid ****.
And they all end up hating the games they are working on.
Seriously if you are young, do further education and learn the skills to build these games.

Probability of being a professional game tester is the same as Microsoft producing an original idea for the 360
If your talented at programming, or are very artistic...those are some great entry fields into the gaming industry. Also Journalism is another avenue.
Just have to find that spot in-between dreaming, and realistic.

If all you're doing is testing games, wouldn't that make you sick of the games? Like, you're not playing them to enjoy it ... you're playing them to find problems.
Like, let's say KFC or Subway. If you work there, you wouldn't eat their food ... you'd probably hate it ... right?
