"Hello, all PS.blog readers. I'm fortunate to get to work on a lot of PSN titles, such as Wipeout HD, Crash Commando, and Savage Moon. But I'm back on the blog today to talk about one of my titles from way back, Super Stardust HD. It's one of the most popular games on PSN, and the big news today is that it's celebrating its 2 year anniversary this week. It was developed by the fine gents and gals at Housemarque, located in Finland. As you may have noticed, my name isn't too typical for an American name - yes, I'm from England, so it's great to be working on all of these strong titles coming from great developers across the pond."
If you've been hankering for an intro to Housemarque's brand of adrenaline-filled action, then here are 3 awesome titles you should try.
Do it! It’s a seriously addictive experience. Housemarque is the master of modern arcade classic gameplay. Curious to see how Returnal turns out tbh.
Thanks. Downloaded it and will be playing it shortly.
Pre-ordered Returnal too.
Yep, had a lot of fun playing it with my kids. Although they always fight over the drops.
Finland’s longest standing game development studio, Housemarque, today announced that it is licensing Unreal Engine 4 and moving away from its own in-house technology for future projects, including a soon-to-be-announced title.
Agreed, I found d their games to be fun and enjoyable... To bad I seem to be the minority.
Well, I haven't played all of their games, but "Nex Machina" is pretty darn cool imo.
I didn't read that. I've read that while they are planning to expand into multiplayer, the only thing they've decided to give up on is the top-down arcade shooter style of games because the last couple have sold in decreasing amounts.
Too bad for me as I've enjoyed most of their games. Now I feel bad that I didn't buy Matterfall but I just didn't like the addition of platforming into the mix.
I haven't read anywhere that those MP games wouldn't include SP.

- Ah, now I got what @TheOttomatic91 meant with "Damn it sucks they won't be doing any SP games anymore.". Well, to be fair, "Matterfall" isn't exactly one of their better titles...
IDK what to expect. Me and my GF love HM hopefully they keep making couch coop games.
You can now enjoy one additional free PS Plus game for PS3 in March 2016, if you managed to get it earlier.
This was the first game I ever got for my PS3: unbelievably fun it is!
Of course the best news from this article is that they have a new PSN exclusive in the works.. Hopefully more will be shown at gamescom, especially since that convention is in Europe.
Still blows me away everytime I play. Just good old-fashioned fun.
