About Me

In 1986, a man was born with the skills and attention to detail needed to methodically test video games and search out bugs which could otherwise make your game unplayable. Today, still wanted by many companies, he lives as a contract video game tester. If you have a game, if no one else can test it, and if I'm available, maybe you can hire... Me.

What I'm Playing
  • Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (PS4)
    Assassin's Creed IV: Black Flag (PS4)
    Ubisoft

    Assassin’s Creed IV Black Flag begins in 1715, when pirates established a lawless republic in the Caribbean and ruled the land and seas. These outlaws paralyzed navies, halted international trade, and plundered vast fortunes. They threatened the power structures that ruled Europe, inspired the imaginations of millions, and left a legacy that still endures.

  • The LEGO Movie: Videogame (PS4)

    In a scenario drawn from the film, The LEGO Movie Videogame puts you into the role of Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person--and the key to saving the world. Guide him as he is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.

    In The LEGO Movie Videogame you will be able to collect and use LEGO instruction pages to build construction sets or harness the awesome power of the Master Builders to virtually build extraordinary LEGO creations along the way. With more than 90 characters inspired by the film and 15 exciting levels, you can build and adventure like never before.

APB Beta Key Giveaway!


As some of you may, or may not, know. I'm a beta tester for Realtime Worlds' upcoming Massively Multiplayer Online game APB (All Points Bulletin). The game is a classic 'Cops and Robbers' style game where you pick your side and complete missions for your given faction. A lot of the fun, as with any MMO, comes with the player interaction which Realtime Worlds have got down to a tee in APB.

To quote the Wikipedia article about APB "Other activities involving missions within the game allowing the player to earn extra money, which then can be used to upgrade weapons, vehicles, and their character appearances, all that influence the game itself. For example, several Criminal players may rob a convenience store within the game; the game will then seek out one or more Law Enforcement players of equivalent skills and other criteria, and will issue an all-points bulletin for them to stop the robbery."

Anyway, enough of my gushing. Realtime Worlds have given me a product key to giveaway for the APB Beta. So if you're interested in helping the development of what could be the next big online game, and your computer can handle it, send an email to martin_baker@GamersNexus.net and if a few people email me, I'll pick one and email you the code.

See you in San Paro!
