Some of you may be interested in this, I've been doing it for months and it gives you a new perspective on the gaming industry. Its also a good way to build up your resume, talk to developers, and other exciting and fun stuff such as previewing and playing games before they hit the stores while also helping to improve the game by finding bugs and providing constructive feedback to developers. A few of you like to complain about the latest buggy game, here's your chance to make a difference.

Here are the requirements:

Only issue is you have to play some buggy game and you don't even get paid for it. Whats the point? The only 'good thing' is you get to play the game before everyone else.

Let me just say that the beta is the reason I hate Diablo 2 so much. Not really my thing.

People actually test games for a career- It's something I would be capable of doing a few years ago, but I don't think I'd have the patience now. Those guys work 16 hours days regularly. That's allot of running around an unfinished map and writing reports about it. I don't think yo uget to pick and choose just the cool games, you might get stuck with "The Sims, moron adventure", or something. It would be worth doing if it were a cool game though.
