I Get Paid To Play Video Games

April 9th, 2010 Josh Whitten Posted in wii games No Comments »

The world is full of video game enthusiasts. And if you're one yourself, you may have thought about whether or not it's possible to get paid to play. In fact, it is! There are many lucrative opportunities in the field including those that involve playing video games all day. But do not think for a second that just anyone can get these jobs.

When you're a paid gamer, your hobby becomes your job. A good way to get started in this industry is by signing up to become a beta tester. As a beta tester, you will find any glitches, errors or bugs within the game. The development team will use your information in order to perfect the game prior to its release. Beta testers may not always be paid, but it is valuable experience and sometimes you even get to keep the game!

If you'd like to earn money playing video games, it's important to get your resume to several video game production companies and consider attending a technical school such as ITT or Devry. There are other options when it comes to getting paid to play video games as well.

Entering a tournament can give you the chance to win cash money. Worldwide, video game tournaments are becoming more and more popular and they often have cash prizes. Of course, keep in mind that there will be expenses involved in traveling to the tournament, possible entry fees and no guarantees that you will win. Top gamers who dominate the tournaments often spend countless hours honing their skills in an effort to be unbeatable.

Becoming a video game reviewer is another way you can get paid to play. Magazines, websites and other venues need video game reviews. Video game reviewers test new games upon release (or occasionally prior to release depending on the employer) and provide detailed reviews.

Details such as the storyline, the characters, the graphics, controls or other important information should be included in your review. In order to be a video game reviewer, you must have a true passion for playing video games, the desire to play for long hours and the ability to write an accurate review. Although not always easy, it is definitely possible to get paid to play video games!

Yip you heard it right you can get paid to play video games. Find out how to become a video game tester here.

Black Wii Is A Big Hit In Europe

March 9th, 2010 Nicky Williams Posted in wii games No Comments »



Video gaming is an activity that, as a rule, tends to take place in teenage bedrooms. Your kids get to about ten years old and you buy them a games console (after all, all their friends have got them). They then disappear into the bedroom for hours on end. You see them occasionally when they emerge, red eyed, for toilet breaks and a quick snack to give them the energy they need to level up.

However, that all changed when the Nintendo Wii console was released. The Wii was a console for the living room rather than the bedroom. There are a number of reasons for this.

In the first place, the Wii's motion sensitive controller meant that the way games were played was much more intuitive. Games were easier to learn, no need to remember that button X is to jump, button Y lets you breathe fire and button Z executes a back-flip. In fact, Wii games are so easy to play that even adults can learn them in a matter of minutes.

Also, because of the physical element of Wii games, there's some exercise involved. Not just Wii Fit - but virtually all of the Wii games involve a certain element of jumping around, much more so than the typical games found on other consoles. That needs a bit of space.

For some reason, which is difficult to quantify precisely, Wii games and the Wii console seem to have a more social element than has been seen up to now with other PC or console games. You can "play the computer" if you want of course, but Wii games tend to be much more fun as part of a group of gamers.

It might be the fact that you need to jump about waving your hands in the air, and generally make yourself look a bit daft. For whatever reason, the Wii gives most enjoyment when performed as a group activity.

As cheesy as it sounds, the Wii is, very genuinely, great fun for children of all ages. Playing Wii games can become a social event. They can help you to exercise and lose weight - and most important of all, they are a lot of fun. The Wii has taken gaming out of the teenage bedroom and put it right in the middle of the family living room.

Maybe that's why Nintendo had such great success when they released a black Wii console bundle in Europe just before Christmas. It turned out to be an extremely popular choice with consumers, possibly because a black games console goes better with the TV, the DVD player, the cable box etc. Currently, the black Wii option is unavailable in the States - but it should be arriving soon.
