Hip Games™ Packs One, Two Punch
with E3 Title Lineup
Dog’s Life and Around the World
in 80 Days Lead Entertainment Expo Charge
LOS ANGELES, CA (May 6, 2004) – Hip
Games™, a division of Hip Interactive Corp. and leading publisher and
distributor of software titles for Xbox, PlayStation®2 computer entertainment
system, Game Cube, PC, and Game Boy® Advance, today unveiled its lineup of
top-tier software titles to be showcased at the annual Electronic Entertainment
Expo in Los Angeles. Leading the charge of over 20 games, are two new titles:
Dog’s Life, a PlayStation®2 exclusive by cutting-edge developer David Braben,
and Around the World in 80 Days for Game Boy® Advance, an action adventure based
on the soon-to-be released Disney blockbuster.
“We are excited to work with
industry-leading developers year after year to create and distribute a stellar
lineup of world-class entertainment titles,” said Peter Young, Executive Vice
President & General Manager of Hip Games™. “Dog’s Life, and Around the World in
80 Days are two of many innovative and engaging offerings from Hip Games™ that
will enthrall gamers and keep them coming back for more in 2004.”
Developed under the direction of
David ‘Elite’ Braben, Dog’s Life by Hip Games™ for PlayStation®2 is an adventure
of canine proportion. Players experience the world as never before as Jake, a
loveable mutt on a mission across the United States to rescue his dog-napped
comrade Daisy. Using ‘Smellovision™’, a unique game mode that relies on dog’s
sense of smell to explore rich, action-packed environments, players go
paw-to-paw against neighborhood hounds in an all-out battle royale. Throw in two
game modes, and numerous unlockable mini-games for an unforgettable journey la
Lassie.
Hip Games™ is also set to bring the
excitement of Disney’s soon-to-be released summer hit Around the World in 80
Days starring Jackie Chan straight to Game Boy® Advance. Fabulous adventures,
hilarious predicaments and exhilarating action await on this frantic,
heart-pounding around-the-world race. As Passepartout (Jackie Chan), players
journey to the farthest reaches of the globe, including London, Paris, Turkey,
India, China, San Francisco and New York by land, sea and air. At every turn,
battle opponents intent on delaying the completion of the trip of a lifetime.
Other titles from Hip Games™ include
CT Special Forces 3 and Sitting Ducks™ for Game Boy® Advance.
