Video Game Requirements
Well of course your love for Xbox 360 games and Microsoft software in general is a good start but won't carry you all the way through. It's good to know most of the video game lingo that will help you convey messages to developers in your reports. Terms like: Shaders, Geometry, Draw Distance, Fog, Collision Detection etc. When making a Xbox 360 bug and glitch report you will use these terms quite frequently, but also you have to know these terms so you can check if each Xbox 360 game has the correct parameters of each definition.
Besides understand the terminology you need to be able to play video games for a long period of time. This might sound easy but it can be very stressful if you are given a certain amount of game that you will be testing. You might have to replay parts several times to look for glitches, problems or to get a better understanding of the game. You might have to play a single part of a game for 4 hours, and this task will be much easier if you have a higher tolerance for Xbox 360 games and different game genres.
