    I am a college student at Western Illinois University. I am planning to major in computer science, and would love to be a video game designer… Right now I am hoping to get a start in the industry. If I could get information on how to become a tester to get my start I would be extremely greatful! Please e-mail me anything available!! Thank you

  • I have a Playstaion 3 and am getting tired of playing the games that are already out over and over again. I love to play videogames and would love to get payed to do it. I would also love to play games that aren’t even out yet. I am currently an intern at a composting place and am not getting paid. Being a videogames tester would be perfect because I go home and play videogames anyway, so why not get some cash for playing my PS3? Thank you for your time and for considering me.

  • Dalton Wignall

    I have been playing video games since the age of 3, and have owned or played nearly every notable game system in existence. I know more about the technical aspects of gaming than the average gamer as I have done some CG modeling, texturing, lighting etc. and even have some experience with programming. I’m currently majoring in Computer Science and potentially might direct my degree to a more specific area. I consider myself to have proficient writing capabilities and a good technological understanding of many game design terms and concepts. I tend to have a good recollection of previous problems that may have been present, and consider myself to be technically proficient in taking and carrying out directions.

    I would love to hear more about this potential opportunity, and I can assure you that I will try my best and work with efficiency if presented with this task.

    -Thanks, Dalton

  • Greg House

    I talk about the new video games i get at work and the guys are always telling me i should become a tester cause of how i talk about them, How great one was and how i keep getting a glitch in that one, so i just think it would be great opportunity

  • My life is video games and only on the PS3 for it is the best gaming console out. I would probably be the happiest person on the planet if you picked me to be a tester.
    Thanks,

  • murtmurt

    I would love to be a games tester. i am currently studying for a degree in games development in ireland and would love some information on gow to become a games tester

  • Matthew Branagh

    One would absolutely love to be a games tester for playstation; it would be a dream come true. For many years one has considered this but never realised that a ‘living’ could be made from it. One has many years of experience playing the Playstation, x-box, nintendo, PC and joystick aided games and would like to get into computer game design. Have always been interested in developing a new version of the game ‘The Last Ninja’ which is an extremely old game for the commodore 64 and was extremely playable and exciting.
    Please, please, please consider one for a place within your company; you will not be disappointed.
    Many thanks, Matthew Branagh

    Hello,
    Im 21 and i have been an experienced gamer for many years. Dating all the way back to nes orginally with many consells inbetween,spaning over time and now have a ps3. The reason i want to become a games tester is simple i love vidoe games and spotting there flaws and weaknesses. I have easily being honest,completed over 200+ video games and live to play the next great game, but usally expectations of a game rarely live up to its hype. I would be humbled to be a part one of the biggest gaming company and have a influence and being able to voice my option, and unlike at the moment be heard by more people then just friends. Please contact me and i would always perform to the best of my ablitys and always try to surpass expections.Thank you for taking the time to read this short paragraph and hope to hear from you.

  • truthfully i don’t know how long i have been playing video games but i know the first game system i really enjoyed was a ps2 my mother bought me for Christmas when i was in school. i don’t have any collage background or any special technical training just the love of what i do and what interest me and every thing about games interest me ever since i graduated from high school i wanted to get a good job some thing that challenges me and that makes me feel like I’m making a difference in peoples lives soon after graduation it changed from a job to a career I’m not saying i want you to give me the job although that would be fantastic i would like help in achieving my goal so what i am asking is for some info on how to get started like what do i need and where do i go so i may apply

  • David Bergeron

    Video Games are my life, hart, and soul, being a game tester would mean the world to me i spend about 10 to 12hrs every day. I would be dedicated and passionate employee for the sony company.

  • James Makula

    Hey, I’m looking at getting started in video game testing. I am also looking at getting into some journalism. I know this is a job, and I will treat it like one. I’m in college looking to make some extra money.

    Thanks

  • Barbast

    Hi, I have been a gamer ever since I was 6 years of age, I spend all my time, all day, all night just playing games, and most videos on YouTube that show glitches in games like CoD 4,5,6,BFBC, and more first person shooter games I find glitches I love them. I also own Xbox 360, Playstation 3 and PC, which are the most important in todays society or shall I say gaming world.
    I would love to get paid for reviewing games or anything to do with games.

    Barbast,

  • Christian Alexandrea

    Any information toward becoming a game tester would be appreciated – been playing games since i was three granted i wasn’t any good but it became a passion of mine fairly quick.. remember getting my hands on playstation when it first came out.. destruction derby anyone? most fun i had as a kid.. and now at age 21 that passion still burns for gaming – going to school for 3d graphic design in hopes of doing this and more with gaming

    again any information would be greatly appreciated

    Thank You,
    Christian Alexandrea

  • Denise Cardenas

    I feel I would be an Ideal candidate for a video game tester. Being a woman, it brings more diversity into the gaming world. I’ll have a unique insight to the female demographic which needs to be marketed to more intensely. I have the ability to be intuitive to the needs of ALL gamers.

  • Enrico Porceddu

  • david

    hey i have wanted to be a game tester for a while as i play a lot of video games and i get annoyed when i find bugs and crashes. So i want to help the gaming industry find these flaws and correct them. It just spoils the game for everyone especially if it is vital to the game play that you succeed pass where there is a bug or crash site.

  • Ryan Ard

    i played video games for years and i wanted to be a tester. i played many different systems mainly ps2.

  • endsilently

    Hi i’m a female gamer and kick butt as a sniper! :) I love first person shooters (Army of 2, Vegas Rainbow Six 1 & 2, Two Worlds, Call of Duty 4, etc). I’d love to be picked as a gamer simply because there needs to be girls who kicks butts and because i absolutely adore gaming… which is weird since i’m a psychology student! But hey… gamers come in all shapes and sizes. I have a PS3, computers and xbox360. I grew up playing leisure suit larry Sega… :) so yeah began playing this game when i was 7…. contact me please if you’d like to more know and perhaps consider me for a position as ‘game tester’ :)

    Thanks

  • Mrs S Palmer

    I am based in Hampshire UK, but I will still like to become a tester for video games. I am currently studying the Designer Course with Train2Game, which is a established game study centre.

  • costi

    Hi, my name is Costi….what can i say, games today , i feel that is something missign from them…every time i play a new game i feel that something is missing…i would like to be a game tester because i feel i can bring improvement….and have fun in the same time

  • Ryan

    Im trying to find some way to become any type of Beta tester and what would be the most fun would be VG Tester. I understand that if u want to get yourself into the videogame field like actuall 3D Animation and Game design, that this isnt the way. Beta testers usually stay in the same job and get stuck. i dont plan on moving. game design is amazing but being able to find the glitches and keeping notes all the time would be fun.

  • Greg Cole

    I am a 23 year old who eats, breaths, and sleeps Playstation. I love all kind of games especially Racing games (CAN NOT WAIT UNTIL DEBUT OF GRAN TURISMO 5 seriously cant wait).My favorite games growing up with PlayStation over the years have been obviously Gran Turismo, Mortal Kombat Trilogy, (after Trilogy they were not so great)and Metal Gear Solid. I own over 70 PS1,2, and 3 games. Being a tester for Sony PlayStation would be an opportunity that I would not take for granted. I work two jobs in order to fuel my PlayStation needs and I can still find time to get on the old PlayStation. I feel a need to expose a games for what it really is. For example I am far from an RPG fan, but recently I have played Dragon Age Origins and it made me have different feeling about an RPG game. It was like a Final Fantasy with much more interaction between player and game. I am a sucker for the small details in a game. ex) Dragon Age Origins- When you strike an enemy the blood can be seen on armor and will stay on even after a reloaded game. Like I said it the small things in a game I look for. Anyways I don’t want to make this crazy so to the point. I would appreciate the responsibility and duty of testing and reporting on products from Sony PlayStation.

  • dominic powner

    I have been playing computer games for the last 18 years of my life and find that i just cant get enough of them. I really would like to do some game testing but have no experience or know how to go about being a tester i would not even want paying for it as playing games is what i live for. I have a wii xbox 360 quadcore pc (for hardcore gaming) and a ps3 and play on them all throughout the day but find that there is just not enough hours in a day to play them, if you are still after a tester i would love to do it for you or if not could you please send me some information into how i could get started thanks
