Hello, I''m currently living on the East Coast (Suburb of Philadelphia) and I''m trying to coordinate a move to California with my girlfriend after she graduates this year. I''m looking to start out in the Q&A department of a company somewhere in Cali. Does anyone know of a good place to find all the videogame companies that would exist in a particular city? Or any listing of Game Development companies by address? Raison "Straius" Varner Leader/Composer & SFX Deus Ex: Convergence http://www.ConvergenceMod.com Straius@Bellatlantic.net

There used to be a big list of videogame companies posted every now and then to rec.games.programmer. Someone probably still maintains this...

But the short answer to your question is that they are all in the San Fran - San Jose area. Check out the Gamasutra job postings (and here on GameDev) for a few companies that are currently hiring.
