This may not come as a surprise to many, but the brand is a creation of the computer powerhouse Microsoft.

Some xbox beta game testers report wages as high as $100 per hour.

2 - Xbox Games Are Complex

The main role of a game tester is to discover bugs and issues in unreleased video games, and report them back to the gaming companies. Xbox 360 have amongst the most complex graphics and production qualities of any games produced currently. For this reason, there is even more importance for gaming companies to ensure their games are free of bugs and issues prior to release. For this reason there are slightly higher standards required for testing the games.

3 - Xbox Games Are Easier To Mass Produce

The release of the Xbox360 was timed specifically so multi-platform developers would favour the gaming console. The result was that a high amount of games were created for Xbox in a short space of time. Xbox has also been created with far more advanced development tools, making it actually easier for gaming companies to produce games in their format.

Conclusion

So what does this all mean to you at the end of the day? If you are considering becoming an xbox game tester then there are certainly a lot of opportunities out there for you. Of all gaming platforms xbox game testers will be in the highest demand, and more likely to command the highest pay available.

3G Technology on Mobile Phones

Third generation technology, better known as 3G technology has hit the United States and is here to stay. What 3G doesnt do is have an obvious impact on the look, fell or design of a cellular phone. However, what 3G does dose is promise faster communication services which include fax, voice, and even internet services. This can be offered 3G uses seamless global roaming. New multimedia entertainment and applications are able to be used to their maximum capability because of the 3G network. The first 3G network was actually released in Japan, and is now offered in the United States by companies like Cingular.

Along the same lines of 3G technology, Verizon has decided along with Sprint/Nextel to offer their own version of 3G services but is called Ed-Vo. Other companies such as T-Mobile dont plan to roll out this technology with their services until 2007. So what is 3G technology exactly? This technology will bring wireless data services to your phone like youve never seen them before. This technology boasts speeds about three times faster than a 56 Kbps connection to 2.4Mbps connection speed, equivalent to using a cable modem. 3G networks allow users to easily and quickly read through web pages, watch streaming music videos, and use video conferencing to its fullest.

The experience you will have while using 3G technology with a cellular phone will be one close to using your home computer with a broadband connection. It seems that hand held computers are definitely the way of the future. With each company committing to spending billions of dollars to upgrade to a 3G network, this technology is surely worth the price we will all undoubtedly pay. But with a loss each company will take to upgrade, comes a need to gain customers, so look for new and improved handsets to launch when your favorite company upgrades to using this system.

Is the Next Generation of Gamers Spoiled?

As I sit here watching my friend play the game Dirt on the XBOX360, I admire just how realistic looking it is and how easily my grandparents could be fooled into thinking they were watching an actual race.

I'm reminded of the first console I ever had, which was a Super Nintendo. I played the regular Nintendo at my friend's house, but when I got to the age that my parents deemed appropriate to play video games, Super Nintendo had just come out. My friends and I would spend hours playing Super Mario, Double Dragon and Street Fighter. I also became a huge fan of RPGs thanks to the Super Nintendo's classic library of Chrono Cross, Final Fantasy III, Super Mario RPG, Lufia I & II and more that I can't think of right now.

My generation (people who are around the age of 21) was, as I see it, born in just the right time to experience the humble roots of video games and can see how far they've come today. My parents and their peers aren't included because they don't appreciate video games as much as us and didn't grow up playing them like we did.

This can apply to anything technological; I didn't get a cell phone until high school and there are kids in elementary school with theirs glued to their ears; maybe that's an exaggeration, but the point is I can remember life before cell phones and it involved a lot of collect calls made from the food court of the mall. Or when my family got its first computer; Windows hadn't even come out yet and the only interesting game was solitaire, which was more fun than trying to get connected to the internet back then.

People in middle and high school grew up after Nintendo and 32-bit consoles and played N64 and Playstation. Although those graphics can't compare to today's consoles, the jump isn't as big as it is going from Contra to Halo 3. Maybe spoiled is too harsh of a word, unappreciative might describe younger gamers a little better. But it will probably be even worse in the later generations that follow when graphics on the next consoles for Sony and Microsoft are the norm and games like NBA Jam and Frogger are going to be as ancient as the Dead Sea Scrolls.

I can't wait to see what new advancements take place in the gaming world in future years; though it may sound strange, I approach this predicament of non appreciative gamers as a society would hope to preserve its culture, because like it or not, video games are a big part of many people's lives, and not in a bad way. So keep your old Nintendo games (except ET, that goes to the landfill) and every now and then pop in a copy of Battle Toads and enjoy it with your friends because it's up to our generation to make sure classic games on the old systems are never forgotten.
