    Anyone else here game testers?

    Producers in gaming basically do the same thing as they do in movies. They manage the whole project and make sure everything goes as planned. It is helpful to know some coding, but not at all necessary. I applied at LucasArts for the same position and got beaten out. Oh well.

    Anyone else here game testers?

    Alpha, beta, in-house at developers? Not to brag, ok maybe a little, but I'm fortunate enough to have many, many, many developers calling my area home. This gives me the wonderful opportunity to go test games at a variety of companies. Not to mention all the beta and alpha tests I take part...

    what do you think of people blaming violence on video games?

    All good points. As far as good news on the news, there is always that feel good story they put between the headlines and the weather. You know the ones. And I do see the validity of blaming video games for youth violence. To an extent. Psychologically, young people are more apt to gain a...

    Alas, we seem to have a few of there here, as well...

    Ok, so I will name a few names. IGN, Gamespot, and the VN Boards are all part of one larger corporation that has nothing to with gaming, which, to still be a little nice, I will not name. No, becoming successful is not evil, nor, for the most part, is the corporate world. My opinion is just that...

    Is the AC: Wild World craze over? NOOOOOOOOOO...

    My gf is all over Wild World. Bought her the system and game just so she could play it and she loves it. A little too much because I don't get as much attention any more. =) Well, at least I still have my games to play, which are far too many.

    PS3 to cost 900?

    I read the article some time ago. No, the PS3 will not cost $900. As stated before, that is the initial cost per unit that SCEA has to pay. This price includes things such as salary for their (extremely talented) engineers, operating overhead, etc. The company does plan to stay competitive with...

    I agree with the hating IGN thing. Not because of content or anything, but because they are just another spinoff from the corporate cog. I won't name names because that's just not nice. I truly don't know why one corporation needs so many message boards and FAQ sites, all dedicated to gaming...

    Help on debate

    Guinness Book of World Records lists Super Mario Bros. for NES as the best selling game of all time at over 40 million units. This includes the fact that it was sold as a bundle with the system. Best selling series is, of course the Mario Bros. series at over 180 million units. Best selling...

    Project Needs Members

    I'm sure there is someone here who can program, but nobody who would be willing to do it for free. On another note, there are people in the industry who have the job of coming up with ideas for future games. The problem with this is that the competition for these positions is extremely fierce...

    Most Badass Characters

    My vote: Gunny in MOH: Rising Sun. Why? That guy absolutely never dies, no matter how much hits the fan. Not only that, and I've tried this, he will kill all the enemies in any stage he's in without help. And he talks smack the entire time.
