Evolution of video games

Video games have come a long way over the years. From 8-bit and 16-bit cartridges to blue-ray discs and virtual reality games. Video games have evolved and so have the players. The present day games keep the players aware and focused at all times. The now available motion sensor video games rid the players off controllers and give them exercise as well instead of just sitting around and twiddling their thumbs. These modern video games keep the players on their toes, literally and keep their bodies and minds active. Long gone are the days of ''Mario''. Now instead of saving princesses from different castles, players are scoring goals by physically kicking through the air while the animated character in the game performs the very same move.

Xbox Kinect v/s Playstation Move

The latest innovation in the gaming industry is the advent of motion controllers, and the two major players are gearing up for war. Sony and Microsoft have attacked this new dimension in gaming from two different viewpoints. Whereas Microsoft tracks the motion of the user, Sony's controller tracks its controller in 3-D space. Microsoft seems to be using the Xbox Kinect as a testbed for its motion control project, whereas the Playstation Move is just a motion controller. The Kinect can track up to two people simultaneously, and is now integrated into very few games, whereas with the Move, the number of people who have the controller can participate in the game. The games which will implement these controllers will decide their fate.

Get Paid for Playing

If you’re hooked onto your computer or gaming console all day long and crave for the latest games, well then, you might just try your hand at becoming a Game Tester.
A Game Tester is an individual who gets paid for playing the latest versions and updates of a recently developed game to find any bugs or glitches to be fixed. One does not require any high class degree to join this lucrative fast-growing profession. The advantage of providing any individual with this job is to help the company maximize their profits.
On an average an individual may earn up to 25$ an hour to test the latest game. Companies would be willing to pay such amounts compared to the huge profits they make on the success of the game. Game testing is definitely an occupation for one to watch out for.
