For this week’s Desert Island Games, a column that looks at the top five games of some of our favorite industry personalities, we speak to Jussi Laakkonen, Business Development Director with independent Finnish studio Bugbear Entertainment.

Bugbear formed in 2000, and released the historic PC racing sim Rally Trophy the next year, before moving on to Tough Trucks, a monster truck game for PC, in 2003. However, it was the over-the-top, physics based console and PC racing title FlatOut that drew international attention to the company – the game sold over a million units and its sequel in 2006 proved equally successful.
