The biggest Finnish companies are Remedy (Max Payne/Alan Wake) and Housemarque (several snowboarding games about 5 years ago), though Housemarque hasn't done anything remarkable in a long time. PS3 Super Stardust minigame doesn't count as remarkable.

Other companies that I know are for example Frozenbyte (Shadowgrounds) and Bugbear (Rally Trophy, Flatout franchise).

Those are propably the biggest, then there are several smaller companies and a ton of mobile game companies, or at least there used to be those.

Ahh there's a "black horse" company called Recoil Games, they are going a bit of the same way as Remedy, their first big game is in development right now and 3D Realms is producing it, just like they did with Remedy and Max Payne. It isn't a surprise actually, because one of the former key members of the Max Payne project is leading the development at Recoil Games. Samuli Syvähuoko is his name.
