A NEW game publisher has joined the online gaming fray in the Philippines. Eaglegame International Limited will be based in Ortigas Center in Mandaluyong City and will focus on online casual games.

In an interview, Eaglegame marketing and communications manager Rio Encarnado said the Philippine office is a subsidiary of interactive entertainment firm NeteLusion Hong Kong Limited, which focuses on gaming, media and fortune.

NeteLusion also has offices in Singapore, Malaysia and China and is expanding its business in the US, some European countries and other Southeast Asian countries.

Among the online games that NeteLusion Ltd publishes in other countries are MyWorld365 and Da Fu Weng.

Encarnado said Eaglegame will officially announce the games it will launch in the Philippines sometime soon.

However, it also plans to launch the dance game HighStreet 5. In fact, the company already has a local website for the game.

HighStreet 5 is already being tested in Malaysia and Singapore.

The game uses a PC keyboard’s four-way directional button, each one corresponding to a command that will execute a specific move of the player’s in-game avatar. There are also in-game item purchases that improve the avatar’s dancing abilities.
