What is expected from entry game developers?

For example a game developer position for sony, konami, capcom, are advertising for entry level game developers that needs a degree + demo. Other than a degree, how good does a demo have to be? if possible please provide links to demo games from ENTRY level developers. thanks

Here's a big hint. If you are senior or in grad school, apply for a "special project" (as opposed to "research" or a thesis). You'll need a professor's approval. Try to get atleast 2 quarters or 1 semester for it. Then, use that to do a MOD or standalone game. If you do standalone, I recommend grabbing Genesis3D or Crystal Space, for a game engine.
PS: Make sure you are comfortable with both C and C++.

Most colleges won't teach you game programming. There is some but limited amount of programming usefulness typical college C++, Data Structures, Math, etc. classes will have for games. If can find an class on OpenGL or Direct3D programming, sign-up ASAP.Here's a big hint. If you are senior or in grad school, apply for a "special project" (as opposed to "research" or a thesis).
