Ritual Entertainment, a development house famous for mainstream hits such as CounterStrike, Painkiller, Quake 4, and 25 To Life, has been acquired by casual game developer MumboJumbo. Robert Atkins of Ritual Entertainment had this to say about the merge:

The disciplined structure of high end game development requires an in depth understanding of sophisticated tools and design techniques, Ritual’s expertise in these areas complements MumboJumbo’s mass market approach to casual game development and gives us a true competitive advantage.
