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.

Discussing the success of DC Universe Online on the PlayStation 3, the game's producer, Larry Liberty, said in an interview with NowGamer that the PlayStation 4 will be a 'great platform for MMOs'.

DC Universe Online, developed by Sony Online Entertainment, was launched in 2009 and became a free-to-play title starting November 1, 2011, and to date is one of the first and only MMO titles available on consoles.

"We proved that we could get a full-featured MMO onto the PS3 and that it could be very successful," Liberty said. "The majority of our player base is on the PS3, and we get thousands of new players each day."

Liberty went on to praise SOE for its efforts towards creating a stable environment for console MMOs and free-to-play titles, both of which were widely considered unthinkable at the onset of the current gaming generation.

"They've become a great partner, and are genuinely interested in effecting change that will make their platforms work better for free-to-play titles," he said.

Considering the success of DC Universe Online on the PlayStation 3, the working relationship developers are forging with SOE, Liberty is optimistic regarding the PS4's ability to become a good source of MMO and free-to-play titles in the coming years.

"I would expect that, with all of the amazing features that have been announced for the next PlayStation, that it will be a great platform for MMOs," he said.

The PS4, despite little being known publicly about it, has already garnered considerable praise from developers and publishers across the board. More information regarding Sony's upcoming next generation console will be revealed next Monday at E3.
