supposedly this company can hook up game testers in the US, the UK and Canada.

obviously i can't vouch for it's legitimacy, but i thought i'd give a headsup.

let us know if it works and give us screen grabs and info on upcoming releases.

To join iVideoGameTester is a one time fee of only $34.99 for unlimited access. There are no additional hidden fees. ClickBank will, at its option, replace or repair any defective product within 8 weeks from the date of purchase. After 8 weeks all sales are final.

hmmm..

I've worked in games for years and this is a scam. You can apply directly to any game co for tester positions.

Trust me.

Hey what are game companies looking for when you apply to be a tester?

Just go to the webpage of game developers or publishers like EA or Ubisoft. Lots have job sections and if they are looking for testers, then you will find it there. Like flat line, I've been working in that industry for years (not as a tester, but IT).

The testers usually are not paid very well, except for the ones with ages of experience. Their working hours can be extreme, especially in crunch time (when the game MUST be finished soon) and if you have fun to do the same things (which will probably crash the game) over and over again is for you to decide. But, for some, it really is a fantastic job nontheless. I know some of them

As far as requirements go, one company I know says:

* You love games.
* You are creative and have stacks of good ideas.
* You can identify problems, and give solutions.
* You can read and write well.
* You communicate well verbally and in writing.
* You have a good personality and get on well with people.
* You think you have what it takes to help test the very best games.
* You can handle pressure.
* You are passionate and will work whatever hours you need.
* You will bring cakes in when required.

* You have a good personality and get on well with people.

That would completely disrupt me from that job.

Yeah, I guess that requirement killed off the whole thread
