Kinect, formerly known as Project Natal, is a hands free game console by Microsoft. It was intended to be a challenge to Wii. The question is will Kinect be able to revolutionize the gaming industry? Or will it fail miserably to server as a warning to aspiring game console developers?

In E3 2010 presented in June 2010, several Kinect games were presented. Some of the videos can be found at Tinkrbox, a video/website bookmarking website. Games such as racing, fighting, running etc. Naturally, as a hands free game console, playing games on Kinect would require body movement and having players to stand, walk or even jump. With this in mind, players would not be able to enjoy the game console while sitting down. According to an article by John C. Dvorak, compiled at Tinkrbox, playing games on hardwood floors will definitely be a problem. Player who would want to rest while playing video games would not find Kinect appealing.

However, younger gamers who are active would find this appealing. Kinect will be a blast at parties, where there are lots of movements. Sport game fans would find this appealing too. Tai-Chi fans too might find this product excellent for self training. And of course, tennis fans would like to get their hands on Kinect.

Could you be seeking a job as a Microsoft Tester? I know how to teach you to be a Microsoft Tester inside of this article. Microsoft is a venture that makes games for different platforms like the Xbox and the Xbox 360 as well as your personal computer. There are several games released each month due to the different game developing companies. Microsoft has to find new beta game testers to tests these at high pay.

What are the Microsoft game tester requirements?

1. Microsoft video games testers receive the unreleased games in the mail. Your next step is to review the games and look for anything wrong.

2. Now provide a bug report. Testers fail here. The bug reports have to be brief and have value. Bug reports that give vague descriptions will not work. Be as descriptive as possible to help the game developers duplicate your issues so they can fix it before they finally release it.

3. Subsist as an active tester. Video games testers should have the ability to play the games. Jobs for testers may require them to turn the games on and off several times and even play the same level over and over. When the release date is close, you may have to work more hours to review any problems on the video games.

Take a look at your video game library. How many of those games have you completed? How many those games did you intend to complete, but abandoned because their challenges became too difficult or repetitive? How many role-playing stories have you dedicated dozens of hours to without seeing their endings?

I’ve always prided myself on completing most of the games I play. Sometimes it is a labor of love; other times it’s a labor for labor’s sake. The sense of accomplishment that comes from toppling a difficult boss is a large part of what makes video games alluring. But, even as someone who welcomes a challenge, I often find myself thinking a particular fight is ridiculous, that the design is working against the player, or that I wish there was a way to skip a particular section of a game. While I’m a poster boy for shelving my social life for a night with a boss battle, the reality is that most players do not finish the games they play.
