Both Ubisoft and Majesco have taken a financial interest in the growing popularity of casual games. Ubisoft are doing things the usual Ubisoft way, acquiring Petz developer Digital Kids to do it for them. Majesco is going out alone though, creating its own casual games studio that will be located in LA.

New information has been released on Majesco’s upcoming Wii game Blast Works: Build, Fuse, and Destroy. The new information pertains to the editor mode, which will let you create your own side scrolling shooter from a number of included enemies and backgrounds, and even create your own objects for inclusion in your game using a WYSIWYG editor. Creating the objects involves a simple system of placing, stretching and coloring polygons - you can then alter the hitbox, bullet firing patterns and power-ups.
