Final Question

Recently a study came out saying that one third of gamers who bought Rock Band or the latest Guitar Hero also bought some of the expansion music sold by the companies. That's a lot of people buying songs and everyone wants to get in on that. In fact, an Internet radio station has just created there own channel featuring tunes from both franchises. My question is, whose Internet radio station is cashing in on this?

Who is RadioIO

Last week, news came out that Codemasters creators Richard and David Darling will be honored by Queen Elizabeth II as Commanders of the Order of the British Empire (CBE) for their "services to the computer games industry". They are one of the first big computer startups from their own bedroom and a Commadore 64 or ZX Spectrum. My question this week is, before the brothers became Codemasters, they originally were called another company when they signed with their first publisher. What was the company called?
