New York, NY (PRWEB) February 5, 2007 -- Paltalk, the largest online video chat community in the world, generated more than 500,000 games played and 100,000 active players within the first 30 days of launching 13 online multiplayer titles from Game Trust. Paltalk added the Game Trust platform in December of 2006 to lengthen sessions, increase impressions, and offer new premium services. Paltalk users can now enter and play popular casual games, such as 8 Ball pool, while watching real-time video and chatting with their opponents as they play -- all with no additional sign-up or download.
The multiplayer game experience provides Paltalk members additional ways to meet, socialize, and form friendships online with its community of more than 4 million active users. Game Trust has hosted a series of regular bracket tournaments and events, all enhanced by the rich communication capabilities of the Paltalk service. The complete Paltalk gaming experience includes:
- 13 classic multiplayer games, including 8 Ball, Backgammon, and Chess
- "Watch and Play" video to see, chat, and 'trash talk' your opponent as you play
- No additional download or sign-up to play
- Premium subscriber benefits, including special avatars and no advertisements
- Game chat, avatars, and players profiles
- Leader boards and bracket events, among others
"This partnership offers consumers a perfect synergy of community technologies", says Adeo Ressi, CEO of Game Trust. "The merging of live streaming video of your competitors with multiplayer game play is an exciting innovation, and the usage numbers bear out an initial success."
"We are very pleased with the initial response to our new game offering," says Joel Smernoff, President and COO of PalTalk. "Our community of more than 4 million active members love features that take live chat to the next level including group video chat, proprietary functions and original content that only Paltalk can provide. Our new game offering is another feature that allows our community to take gaming to a whole new level with the integration of patented real-time video features that allow them to chat during game play."
Game Trust plans to announce several more licensing deals in early 2007.
