There are a lot of reasons why someone might want to check out a guide like T Dub Sanders'. One might be interested in the underside of the game testing field. Others might just want to know what they can gain from a guide that is written to help people understand their role in the gaming industry. Others still are just pining for that ultimate career working alongside game developers and designers.

Whatever the reason, T Dub Sanders has put together one of the biggest and best game testing guides on the market – one that shows the underpinnings of the career in their raw, real format. There are no false promises of automatic testing or sitting at home and playing the newest games for hundreds of dollars a day.

That stuff is all pretty much a pipe dream and most people know it – yet many guide writers try to tell everyone that they can become the biggest and best new game testers in a field that doesn't really exist every day and too many fall for it. On the other hand, what T Dub has put together is a much more realistic, much more comprehensive look at what game testing is really about – the hard work and dedication that goes into becoming someone in charge of all that code each day.

By showing what it really takes to be a game tester, T Dub opens up an actual, realistic path to getting into the industry. He showcases skills needed to get started as a tester, the classes or college majors that people better be willing to invest in if they want to be a professional in this field and much more to help them figure out not only if the career path is right for them but if they are going to be cut out for it. That means a great deal for someone who may or may not know exactly what a game tester does and how it operates.

For anyone that is thinking about taking the path toward becoming a game tester, one of the first things that needs to be done is to learn more about what the career entails. Those people should pick up T Dub's newest guide and get a real insider's look at the job and how it really works. If you're serious about doing what T Dub shows you, you'll be on the fast track toward game testing in no time flat.

For long-time fans of the Assassin's Creed franchise who are eagerly looking to take to the waters this autumn, Ubisoft has revealed three books they will be releasing to engulf fans in the Black Flag experience: a novel, an art book, and a strategy guide.

The novel, written by Oliver Bowden, will be published by Penguin in the UK on November 7 and in the US on November 26, with no confirmed debut for the novel elsewhere. The novel puts readers in the shoes of Edward Kenway, who starts from humble beginnings and rises to become a pivotal player in the Templar-Assassin conflict. How, or if, the novel will tie into the narrative of its video game counterpart is unknown.

The official art book, published by Titan books and dubbed The Art of Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag, will become available starting October 28. The first 500 copies sold will be a special slipcase edition, containing two exclusive, signed concept art prints.

Lastly, Prima and Piggyback will be publishing the official strategy guide, an all-inclusive walkthrough made by the development team. For those looking to get that beloved Platinum trophy, this guide will explicitly light the way. It will be releasing alongside the game on an unconfirmed date between late October and early November.

Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag will be releasing for PlayStation 4 and PS3, so stay glued to PSU.com for our impressions and eventual review. Get our news on-the-go via Twitter @PSUdotcom.
