There's a lot of scuttlebutt on the internet concerning the legitimacy of money making opportunities like Game Tester Guide. It seems that many are unconvinced of the claims made at this site while some others profess to like it. The problem with these naysayers is that if there were any validity to their claims, the companies they are railing against would be out of business. The fact that Game Tester Guide is handled by a third party payment processor (Clickbank), which guarantees a refund period of eight weeks, gives the customer not only an impartial money back guarantee, but time to properly evaluate the program's effectiveness for personal use. 

With that controversy taken care of, how does Game Tester Guide stack up against the competition? Fairly well, as a matter of fact. Rather than offer a time limited membership, Game Tester Guide offers lifetime access to the information at one nominal price. For about the same amount as you would pay for 24 months worth of access on one of its competitor's sites, you get unlimited access to the information in the guide which will show you how to get paid to play and test video games. 

One of the main differences between Game Tester Guide and other well-known video game tester guides is the age limitation. You only need to be fifteen years of age (rather than eighteen) to be eligible for some of the jobs in this guide. The site takes you through the initial setup of your gamer profile to getting you submitted for the video game testing jobs. From there, the successful applicant will receive the games in the mail to play and evaluate. You will fill out the enclosed survey once you've played through the game, submit it back to the company, which will then issue you a payment.

In some cases, this scenario may be different. If you live in or near a large urban city, you may be able to work at a nearby local outlet where you clock in and clock out. There are game testing labs, companies that are like subcontractors, or you could be working directly for the company that created the game. Keep in mind this may eventually lead to higher paying work. Also, if you are testing certain types of games, you will need to have access to a video game system (XBox 360 or PlayStation, for example) in order to test the game.

One misconception that needs to be cleared up in programs such as these are the claims about hourly pay. Getting paid hourly is not the best way to describe the payment. If you are testing out of your home you will be paid for level completion or completing certain tasks. So if you are paid 100 dollars to complete a level of testing games and it takes you 2 hours, you are making $50.00 an hour.

Game Tester Guide is a downloadable guide written by Richard West who has been testing video games for over four years. The Guide is thirteen pages of concise, straight-to-the-point, easy to understand information. The real meat of the book, and the main point of investing in it, starts from page seven where Richard lists several resources you need to find jobs as a video game tester. These resources direct you to websites and companies that are actively seeking people to test their new games.

Don't be surprised if you find a company that is not only looking for game testers, but is also recruiting for similar roles in the game industry, like programming, graphics, marketing and research. You may end up considering a different job in the industry other than as a game tester. Obviously this information has taken time to research and to test. And that’s effectively what you’re paying for with Game Tester Guide — a list of high quality resources that direct you to money making opportunities with reputable companies.
