Good Things Really Do Come In Threes!

For Immediate Release

Montreal, Canada, May 16, 2007 - Game publisher Meridian4 and Elephant Games (formerly known as White Elephant) are excited to announce the combination of their three RIP titles into one Arcade/Shooter box; RIP - Trilogy.

"We felt that the Trilogy was a natural extension of the series. When we saw what Elephant Games had done with RIP3, we knew we had to let everyone try the original RIP and RIP2 to have a full appreciation for the franchise." said Steve Milburn, Director at Meridian4. "RIP - Trilogy has a huge amount of gameplay with over 200 levels, tons of weapons, vehicles and an almost impossible amount of enemies, the Trilogy will have you playing for hours"

About RIP - Trilogy

With the completion of the third title in the RIP series, the RIP games have become an instant classic in the arcade-shooter genre. RIP - Trilogy brings all three RIP titles into one exciting and heart-pounding pack.

RIP

Not afraid of Death? What if he is accompanied by Halloween and Rock-N-Roll? Play the part of these antiheroes and go to war in this all-out action experience! Each character has their own strengths and skills, but this is not a game for the faint of heart. With over 40 levels to RIP through, the results are murderous!

RIP2 - Strike Back

Your favorite antiheroes are here to strike back with another score to settle. Death, Halloween and Rock-N-Roll...each character has his own strengths and skills, so pick one and start shooting. In Story Mode, you'll fight through 60 furious levels using an arsenal of upgradeable weapons, tanks, helicopters and turrets or for a quick adrenaline fix, play Rush Mode and see how long you can last.

RIP3 - The Last Hero

In the secret "Gap" bunker the Dictator's scientists discovered the portal to the Sorcery world. The first attempt of the cyborg troops to invade into the Magic kingdom failed. The magic leaked onto the Earth, changing everything around. The world was threatened with the great disaster... Three mortals from Earth's rebel forces and three immortals from the Sorcery world volunteered for the unannounced war. At midnight one of them will step into the portal between the worlds to stop the mad conqueror and free Earth...

The games combine the dynamics of a hardcore shooter while preserving the elusive classic arcade appeal and never let up on the intense action. Every level presents a new challenge, requiring you to not only prove your sharp-shooting, but to think and act tactically.
