Chinese Language Games Dominate This Week’s List of Emerging Facebook Games
Just one week after 胡萊三國 (Hoolai Sanguo) conquered our list of emerging Facebook games, three more Chinese-language titles turn to claim spots in the top 10.
First up in our top spot is 水果忍者 (Fruit Ninja), from developer MiniMax. The game is essentially a port of the Halfbrick Studios’ popular iOS game of the same name, only with finger-swipes swapped for mouse clicks. It is not clear if this is a licensed Facebook adaptation, but given the almost spam-like persistence of banner ads and unskippable video ads that load before the game begins, 水果忍者 doesn’t seem very authentic.
Next at No.3 is 蛋蛋龍 (Dragon Egg), from developer Raytoon. Like 胡萊三國, Dragon Egg is published for Facebook by 6waves Lolapps. It’s a cute-looking role-playing game where players apparently have to train dragons to fight egg-stealing monsters.
Lastly, coming in at No.8, we have 《千军破》华文版，最真实三国网游 (Qianjun Break Chinese), from Koram Game. We had trouble accessing this title at time of press, but it appears to be an RPG set in China’s three kingdoms era, like so many other Chinese language RPGs.

A game’s newsworthiness is not determined by its language. Thanks for reading.

Thank you for posting the list of Top Gainers (regardless of the language of the game). As a developer of social games, it`s important for us to be aware of and learn from competitions and features beyond English…especially since they`re dominating the chart.
