"Naughty Dog co-founders Jason Rubin and Andrew Gavin have launched a new casual gaming studio named Monkey Gods.  After previously creating the Crash Bandicoot and Jax and Daxter franchises, Rubin and Gavin have now joined forces with HBO media consultant Jason Kay to set up the new studio. Monkey Gods will focus primarily on casual games for social networks as well as titles for iPhone and consoles.  Writing on the studio&amp;#039;s official blog, Rubin said that it is a &amp;quot;new company from an old team&amp;quot;. He and Gavin have been working together for almost 25 years.  &amp;quot;So we have game experience, web experience, social networking experience and a love of all of them,&amp;quot; he explained.  &amp;quot;Monkey Gods was started so we could work on our passions. We think you will see that in the games.&amp;quot; Their first project will be a sequel to shareware title Snood for iPhone, followed by the word game Monkwerks.
