Level Up! delves into video shows

Alexander Villafania INQUIRER.NET MANILA, Philippines -- Game publisher Level Up! is pushing its online multimedia experience, starting with a five-day online video show. The video channel is part of the Level Up! Liveblog service which begun during the recently held Level Up! Live gaming convention. This time, the company will provide both reruns of videos taken during the convention and fresh shows, most of which will be shot live and streamed on the Internet. There will also be scheduled live video streaming featuring prominent personalities among the communities of Level Up! games. Viewers can also interact with the guests through the liveblogging system. The project will be called Reliving Live: The Live 2008 Experience and will start on November 10 to 14. Level Up! Multimedia Head Joey Alarilla told hackenslash that the success of their livestreaming during Level Up! Live prompted the company to start a continuing activity that will entice their players to visit their site. During the Level Up! Live over 50,000 people from 27 countries viewed their video streaming. They also received over 22,000 comments for their liveblog. "We want our players to know that there are other stuff we could do and not just playing. We want them to enjoy their gaming experience beyond the games they play," Alarilla said.
