Want to be a beta tester?Have a say in the production of KKND2 and other games Have you ever had the urge or desire to be a beta tester? You know, those people who test every aspect of software to make sure it's working to the best of its ability, with no bugs are present. If so, Beam Software is in search of YOU to beta test KKND2. They need 50 different testers with different backgrounds and different machine types who love strategy games. To be one of the few to pick KKND2 apart, head over to http://www.melbournehouse.com/kknd2/competition.html and fill out the online form. Be creative on the question, "Why do you want to be a Beta Tester?" It'll show you care. If becoming a beta tester intrigues you, you may want more information on it. Beta testing is done by a group of users who use the software in real life applications. They do everything possible with the application to make sure the program works exceptionally well (not plagued with bugs, doesn't lock your computer when run . . .). This is the final stage before the company releases the software, so user input at this stage is vital. There are many pluses to being a beta tester, such as: you can have a say in the software development process, you get a preview of the latest technology available, and some companies may offer you software discounts for testing their product. Wow, all that for playing games. If you think beta testing is for you, head on over to Game Spot's Beta Test Center. There, information is posted on opportunities offered by companies to beta test their games. Be the first to know what the future of gaming holds before everyone else, (except maybe the other testers, the company, and anyone else with an "in" in the gaming industry). Now, when you think to yourself that you could've helped make this game better, just remember you can.
