Well I'm starting to work on the score of a videogame here in colombia…. believe me… here it is a lot harder to find this kind of jobs, so:

don't look for game composers, look for game developers, make a portfolio, in this industry is the result what matters, if you studied music for 40 years but have no creativity, you're doomed, but if you don't even know how to read music and still you manage to make cool music that can take the gamer to a specific situation even without the game, you have it pal.
obviously if you have a background and creativity that's very cool too.

bottom line: PORTFOLIO

start sending that everywhere.
