You should be a contractor for people looking for work, nice finds.. If you want for others to save their time looking at the links, put the basic locations of each company.

[Generalvivi]

I'm pretty sure Raven is also? go ahead and add them to the list (not sure if its for lvl designers tho, prob for animators and the such)

[Mr. Happy]

infinity ward is on there twice

[Zipfinator]

I wish Valve offered them!

[ChopperDave]

I think Raven did internships once upon a time, but I haven't seen them do it lately. I updated my OP.

Also, id Software has a section on their careers page for support/testing/interns. Maybe we'll see internships there in the near future?

[undertone]

oh very nice. thanks.

[ChopperDave]

I don't see any at Iron Lore or Irrational (Boston or Australia), and Turbine seems to only be QA (sure it's an internship, but not one that people are gonna want). Where did you learn about the ones at Irrational and Iron Lore?

[Sorrow]

Godsdammit, nearly everything is in the US. I don't want to find a job and live in the US...

England or Belgium plx...
