How to Become a Master Video Gamer

Everyone who plays video games admires those elite few that seem to have the ability to easily master any video game. They discover the game's secrets and cheats and are the first to beat a game.

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

1. Pick a console. If you don't own a gaming console, go out and buy one. To start, you may want to hone your game mastering skills on the Sony Playstation 2 or Xbox 360.

2. Start with the classics. You can't expect as a newbie to play and master Halo 3 on your first outing. Start with simple games that you can easily master, like an older Final Fantasy game or one of the titles in the Resident Evil series.

3. Give yourself a challenge. After playing a few of the simple games and mastering the use of your console controls, you can attempt to master a harder title. The newest releases often offer new challenges.

4. Practice, practice and practice more. You're not going to become a master gamer overnight. You need to devote many hours playing games and learning all that you can about the games you play.

5. Write reviews and walk-throughs for gamer sites. After you feel comfortable as a master gamer, share your knowledge with others. Log on IGN or Gamespot to write a review, provide cheats or give a walk-through of the game.
