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.

E3 2013 Awards: Best Shooter

Amidst the testosterone-fuelled mudslinging between EA and Activision over upcoming juggernauts Battlefield 4 and Call of Duty: Ghosts, Halo studio Bungie delivered a Master Chief-sized boot print on the heads of its rivals with the impressive-looking shooter, Destiny. Yep, forget about contemporary shooters coming this holiday season, as far as PSU.com is concerned, Destiny is THE shooter that won E3.

The scale of Bungie’s blast-'em-up is nothing short of impressive, with the developer trumpeting the fact its sci-fi-thememed, gigantic game world is ‘alive.' Players will encounter in-game events throughout, which are not pre-determined by the game’s creator allowing for an unpredictable, dynamic gameplay experience. Powered by a brand new game engine, Destiny places great emphasis on multiplayer experiences, though eschews much of the traits of traditional MMOs. For example, Bungie has opted for on-the-fly matchmaking, as opposed to the usual process of interacting with players in-game or on a server.

Destiny’s biggest pull however is the game world, taking place in a futuristic, post-apocalyptic setting following an influx of peace and technological advancements known as the Golden Age. However, following an event known as the Collapse, human colonies around the Solar System have dissolved, leaving mankind in a precarious situation. Hostile alien races now occupy the former human colonies, which sees the player – as a member of Guardian of the City – out in force attempting to quell these alien threats and prevent mankind’s extinction.

It’s a bold premise and one filled with legions of unique characters, places and weapons, and more importantly one that is sure to differentiate it from the Halo series. Keep an eye on this one, folks.
