130w ago - PlayStation Network Executive Producer Kevin Furuichi has shared a few preview videos of The Tester 2 Episode 4, which is available today on PSN.

To quote: During the first three episodes of "The Tester 2," the cast has been tested on their PlayStation knowledge, attention to detail, memorization and communication skills.

This week, it's time to see what they're truly made of in the most physically demanding teamwork challenge of the season, inspired by Medal of Honor. We'll see who can really dig into the trenches and continue to prove that they have what it takes to be the next PlayStation QA Tester.

Along with the Medal of Honor themed challenge comes the Tier 1 beard! Greg Goodrich, EA's executive producer for Medal of Honor, joins both Adrianne Curry and Brent Gocke to determine who's moving up the ranks and who's turning in their badge.





Episode 4 of "The Tester 2" debuts today only on the PlayStation Network. Look to download from the PlayStation Store later today after the update and check it out in PlayStation Home starting Wednesday to receive a new 'Game Over' T-shirt.

The editors of Popular Science selected Move as the only video game technology worthy of the honor this year, calling it the "most immersive gaming controller" on the market and "the first motion-capture game system accurate enough to attract the hardcore gamers who consider the Wii and Microsoft Kinect to be kids' stuff".
