eGames Partners With Quepasa Corp. to Publish and Distribute Social Game Titles


LANGHORNE, Pa., Jan. 3, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- eGames, Inc. (Pink Sheets:EGAM), a leading developer and publisher of casual games for leading Social Networks, today announced it has signed a publishing and distribution agreement with Quepasa Corporation (OTCBB:QPSA), creator and operator of Quepasa.com, a rapidly growing online social network for the Latino community.

The agreement provides for the addition of five new social game titles to Quepasa.com beginning in January 2011, building on the success of the other games on Quepasa's Open Social Platform. Further, the agreement allows Quepasa to act as a distributor on eGames' behalf. In this capacity, Quepasa will publish and promote eGames' titles to relevant third party social media platforms. This gives eGames the opportunity to leverage Quepasa's expertise and resources in the Latin American market, and opens up an additional revenue channel for Quepasa. 

"We expect eGames' titles to drive the engagement and monetization of Quepasa's rapidly growing Latino user base, now totaling more than 25 million," said John Abbott, CEO of Quepasa. "We are also excited to position ourselves as both a publisher and distributor in the Latin marketplace; we believe this differentiated strategy will put us in a strong position in a post-Facebook social gaming environment."

"This partnership will kick off with some of the strongest internally-developed titles in our company's history," says Jerry Klein, president and CEO of eGames. "Quepasa's large, growing userbase provides an ideal audience to drive rapid adoption and monetization of these games, and we believe the company's support with the distribution of our titles in Latin America will bring us both great success."
