Can You Be A Computer Game Tester?
There are quite a few different video game systems out there, leaving many people to wonder if it’s possible to be a
computer game tester. Systems like the Wii, the Playstation, and the Xbox have started to dominate the video game
industry. Thankfully, though, there are still those that create and sell computer video games, and often those video
games are of a much higher quality, in a number of ways, than the games that are released on game consoles!
Popular Computer Games
There are a number of computer games that have loyal followings. A lot of these games are considered to be RPG’
s, or role playing games. They put the player in the shoes of the main character (or characters) and allow them to
dictate what choices the character should make. One of the most popular RPG’s is the War Craft franchise. This
series started years ago when computer technology was not as advanced as it is now. As computers have become
more sophisticated, so too have the War Craft games.
War Craft expanded their following when they introduced The World of War Craft. This game let players log onto a
server and play together in a huge world. This project required a number of computer game testers in order to
make sure that the game was working correctly when the characters logged into the network. Hours and hours of
testing was done in order to make sure that everything worked the way it was supposed to work.
Another popular computer game that required the help of a number of computer game testers is the Sims series.
Sims is a game that allows players to role-play characters that they create. They choose what the characters will do,
whether they will eat or not, and what kind of jobs they will have. Everything that the character does is chosen by
the player. This game, as you can imagine, had to be checked over and over again, because there are so many
different possibilities and outcomes for each occupation and decision made.
Why Computer Games Still Exist
With all of these different consoles available to play on, why do computer games still sell? There are a number of
reasons that people play computer games over console games, the first and probably most important being that
some people have no desire to get a console game. They are more than happy with their computer and want to be
able to play games on the system as well. Another reason is that computers are getting more and more
sophisticated, in both graphics and sound, often giving a better performance than game consoles.
Yes, it is still possible to test video games that are made for a computer. There may not be as many companies
making computer games, but those that are have a steady income and are generally great to work for. The more
you know about computers, the more valuable you will be to a computer company looking for a computer game
tester.
