Are casual games forming a bubble?
In a big expansion of casual games, Viacom, the parent company of Nickelodeon and MTV, is investing $100 million dollars to add 1600 new titles to its lineup of Web sites that includes Nick.com, NickJR.com, Neopets.com and AddictingGames.com. Viacom is expanding the number of games to 6,000.
The casual game market is growing by about 20 percent year over year, according to the Casual Games Association.
