Housemarque
Housemarque is a Finnish video game company founded in 1995. With Remedy Entertainment, it's the oldest game company still operating in Finland. Housemarque was a fusion of two smaller companies, Terramarque and Bloodhouse. The rise of the PC game market prompted these two companies with a background in Amiga games to change their strategy.[1] On March 22, 2007, Housemarque announced on their website that they are working on digitally downloadable titles for PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade.[2]
