Many PlayStation gamers I speak to have never heard of ‘The Tester’ before, which is unfortunate because it’s one of the most entertaining and enjoyable reality shows around.
Each season of The Tester features twelve gamers competing for a coveted position at Sony Computer Entertainment America. The first two seasons’ winners literally became testers for SCEA after claiming victory, whereas the winner of season 3 will earn themselves a job as a Production Associate at God of War developer Santa Monica Studio.
The contestants in The Tester 3 will be judged by special guests who are relevant to PlayStation gamers. These include Nolan North - voice of Uncharted’s Nathan Drake - and David Jaffe - creator of the Twisted Metal series.
The Tester 3 will start on February 7th and run for eight weeks. You can either download the show in HD or SD from the US PlayStation Store or watch each episode online at TheTester.com.
Check out the awesome teaser trailer for season 3:
