    Hello,

    I do Gaming much. Not a fulltime gamer, I am a web developer too. I was wondering if there are ways you can make money as a gamer.

    Is it possible to make good money by reviewing, writing about games etc...?

    Thanks

    Some gamers sell their accounts once they establish their characters in certain games.

    Ah. I guess the guy that owns facebook is thinking of shutting down as it was all a waste of time. Larry and Sergey will be kicking themselves for starting that silly search engine too :D:rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

    If you have online game currency, sell it at Gaming Surplus
    If you have an online game account that you want to sell, do it at EGS

    If you have good writing skills, you could always write game reviews.

    You could become a game tester, and look for bugs in the game.

    You could conceive new ideas for a game- a " script writer " of sorts.

    Thanks to all for your replies and help :).

    I see many of you suggesting "Online" games, but sorry as I said I am unable to play them. I have got dialup. I play offline PC games. Like Cod4, Crysis etc...

    And... How to do that? :rolleyes:

    Making money with offline games will even be harder.
    With offline games, people can't sponsor events or tournaments (unless it's on a LAN party).
    The main reason why gamers get paid to play games is due to the advertising. I'm affraid the only way to make money with your offline games is to write a guid/website or so about the games you play. Write good and interesting text where you talk about your games, give your readers tips and tricks ...
