Paid 2 Play

I just heard today that I've been offered a position as a video games tester!

So from next week, I'll be getting paid to play video games!

I'd signed up with Only 4 Gamers about two weeks ago. Their job boards are full of video games tester openings, but after applying for quite a few, I figured the competition must be really intense for these jobs and I didn't have much chance of getting one.

But I kept at it and kept applying. Only 4 Gamers have a bunch of video tutorials up on their site that help you understand what the video games companies are looking for and the kind of things that you should say in your application.

Well, I followed their advice and it's finally paid off!

I'd definitely recommend you check out the site if your interested in becoming a paid video games tester yourself: Click Here!

They offer a full money back guarantee if you don't seem to be getting anywhere with applying for the game tester jobs. I was about to cancel my membership and try and claim my money back, but I've been approved and now I can't wait to head in to work next week.

Macho Man in WWE All Stars?!? ...........OHHHHHHHHHH YEAH!!

Believe it or not, 'Macho Man' Randy Savage is making a return to the WWE video game spin-offs.

If you believe what you read on the internet, Vince McMahon hasn't wanted anything to do with Savage in years due to *something* that transpired between Savage and Daddy's Little Girl, Stephanie Mac.

Maybe Vince is mellowing out in his old age and letting old grudges die. He invited Bret Hart back to the WWE, now he's letting the Macho Man return, albeit in pixelated form. Maybe they just got desperate for legitimate legends once they realized they wouldn't be able to feature Hulk Hogan on the cover of this one.

Whether the actual game will be any good or not remains to be seen. I wasn't too hot on Legends of WrestleMania, the last 'WWE goes old school' effort. I'm also of the opinion that the SmackDown! vs. Raw games take themselves way too seriously nowadays. I much preferred the simpler control system of the older games, which allowed complete novices to string together all of a given superstar's biggest and best moves with ease.

If this game can improve on Legends of WrestleMania and strike the right balance between pick up and play arcade action and the more in-depth approach of SmackDown! vs. Raw, it might just wind up being the best WWE game yet. Either way, it'll probably be worth picking up for the return of Macho Man alone.
