Becoming a video game tester:

If you’re thinking of trying out games for money, that in itself is a decent job, one that requires you to have a keen eye and decent writing skills. These opportunities are ways to get paid to play video games at home, doing what you’re already doing, but with a small cash reward at the end of the game.

contests

There are ways to earn money by participating in online gaming contests. You can compete with your fellow scrabble players or compete in tournaments through your favorite online games. The opportunities are plentiful, but the key is that you can actually get paid to play video games at home.

game reviews

If you’re playing the games anyway, why not write about them? Video game reviews are everywhere on the internet. Everyone writes them, but you can actually turn them into money if you know where the resources are on the internet.

Video games are a great hobby. It’s relaxing, it’s entertaining and it can involve you. For some, it can even be rewarding, allowing them to play video games at home and get paid for it.

The 3 requirements you need to BECOME a game tester are:

• You must be 15 years or older to get paid to play and try.
• You need a computer you already play on, or a console you prefer to play on (Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, etc.).
• You have to love video games. That’s obvious!

You don’t need a marketing or design degree to do this! Heck, you don’t even need to finish high school. Here’s a list of frequently asked questions when you fill out your “work assignment sheet.” Sick let you decide If you are, you think these questions are difficult.

• What did you think of the game’s main menu? (did you like the overall look, was it easy to navigate, get in and out of different modes, etc.)
• What did you think of the single player Campaign mode? What were your most and least favorite parts of the game?
• What did you think of the multiplayer mode? What were your favorite and least favorite game modes/features from the lobbies? Is there anything you would change to make it easier or more comfortable to use?
• What was your preferred mode: single player or multiplayer?
• Are there any notable bugs/issues you’ve noticed?
• What age group do you think this game will BEST appeal to?
• Overall, how did the game perform? (story, gameplay, graphics, replay value, etc.)
• If there was one thing you could add to the game to make it better (more zombies, more weapons, etc.), what would it be?
• On a scale of 1-10, how would you rate the game overall?
