Majesco Entertainment Company, a mass-market video game provider, announced today that the popular anagram game Bananagrams will be available August 18 as a free Facebook application. Developed by Large Animal Games, Bananagrams is a board game with an ‘every-player-for-themselves’ approach for fast-paced puzzle play.

The object of Bananagrams is to create as many words as quickly as possible from one initial batch of pre-selected tiles. There are no ‘turns’ is Bananagrams – all players simultaneously play to form interconnected words. Once all the tiles in the batch are used, the player who was able to get rid of all their tiles first wins. Think Scrabble, but faster and with no time to whip out a dictionary.

Facebook users will have the option to play alone or online against up to eight friends. The game will also have two single player modes where players compete against time to beat their own or their friend’s beat times. Both multi-player and single player options will allow users to chat online during game play and compare results via the Bananagrams Leaderboard.

Majesco Entertainment Company has announced additional details this week of its Cooking Mama World Kitchen for Nintendo Wii, slated for a Christmas release date.

The game will be the newest addition to the Cooking Mama franchise, and will include new 3D graphics, recipes, modes and mini-games. By using the Wii remote as a universal cooking utensil, players can simulate real cooking by chopping, grating, stirring and slicing their way through the game.

The recipes featured in the game range from parfait to shrimp au gratin. Also, mistakes in cooking procedures result in mini-games. For example, if you flip a burger too high, a mini-game begins where you must try to catch the burger in Mama’s apron with the Wii remote.
