Want to Get Paid to Play Games? Enter the Field of Videogame Testers!

The first videogame tester resource you'll learn about is a fairly good resource, but I much prefer resources we'll cover later. Only 4 Gamers gives you a step by step guide to breaking into the industry via video game tester jobs. They take a methodical approach that you would expect from someone teaching medicine or law, and yet it's still easy to follow the step by step process. I think the best part about Only 4 Gamers, however, are the follow up emails they give to you, making sure you get the latest updates on the video game tester world.

Despite all of this, Only 4 Gamers has a few flaws in the way of its execution. There could have been more information given up front, and a better resources page could have been provided.

Overall, Only 4 Gamers deserves an 8/10!

Richard West, the creator of Game Tester Guide, is a truly inspirational guy- he has taken his successful videogame beta tester background (he's been in the industry for 4 years), went back through all of his past experiences with getting and maintaining good jobs, and now has written everything he knows about the process in a very easy to read guide. What more could you ask for?!

I like Richard's guide because he explains the "why" behind many questions- like "Why can't I find jobs on my own?" or "Why do I need you?" the answer would be because most testers are only given a shot if they have prior experience in the industry (I.E., started as a programmer or designer), or if they play things right in their resume and interview phases. If you have no prior experience, then you will need a guide like West's which explains how to "walk the walk" and "talk the talk" so to speak.

The downsides to the system are few and far between- really I think the only problem is West's tendency to focus on off line videogame testing opportunities, when there are plenty of online ones as well.

Still, it's a great resource that deserves a 9/10!
