Hey guys,

I have been curious about becoming a Beta tester for a couple years now, but without success. How exactly do you get such an exalted position??? I have also been thinking about writing reviews, but my full time job pretty much prevents me from finishing most of the games I start!!! Very unhappy about the full-time job thing, by the way...

To become a beta-tester, you watch the company websites. Some of 'em will post when a product opens for limited beta-testing.

As to reviews, if you want to do it for free, just contact an appropriate site owner, who may agree to publish what you've got after they've read and edited it. If you want to make money, forget it. The market is almost broken, now, due to the failure of the online web advertising model, and a lack of good print mags. That may change in the future, but right now, you'd have a better chance of selling New Age journals to Pat Robertson.

Fable,

I've seen some listings looking for beta testers, and have applied... just never got a response. I'm sure everyone and their brother wants to beta test everything they can get their paws on!!!

Thanks for the info... Oh, and why are some people on here "Exalted" members??? Haven't figured that one out yet.
