Obviously, you have to be pretty good at playing video games. However, I'm curious as to how good must one be to be successful? Any thoughts?

    You have to be as good as somebody who can complete most games on easy.

    If you’re talking about a website (like IGN). Not really.

    If you’re talking about a magazine (like EGM), Journalism experience. However, Video Game Reviewers are pretty much the lowest paid job in journalism.

    Not really much to do with videogame skill.
