September marks the start of peak which, for many, means optimism for growth, new technologies emerging and an abundance of new products to ﬁll shelves. This Christmas, the gaming market will be dominated by software with a brilliant showcase of AAA titles coming to new and current generation platforms. From NBA 2K15, Just Dance 2015, Assassins Creed Unity and The Crew to PES 2015 and Halo: The Master Chief Collection, we’ve got a huge line up with some fantastic pre-order offers available.

new to us

Race ahead with Anki DRIVE We’re delighted to announce an exciting new partnership with Anki, the leading Artificial Intelligence and Robotics company, to launch its award winning Anki DRIVE to the UK retail channel. Anki DRIVE is a video game that is played in the real world. Launched on stage at Apple’s WWDC in 2013, Anki Drive has gone on to be recognised as one of the Top 25 Inventions by TIME Magazine. Using the accompanying Anki Drive iOS app players race robot cars and can compete against their friends or against the robot cars that use Artificial Intelligence to drive themselves. The Anki Drive app is continuously updated so that the game play continues to evolve. The Anki Drive Starter Kit includes a track which rolls out and becomes instantly playable on any flat surface, plus 2 cars and key accessories for just RRP £179.99. In addition, a number of Expansion Cars are available to buy separately for RRP £49.99. Each car is different, completely customisable and upgradeable through software. Just like a video game the more points a player earns through gameplay the more features can be purchased for each car. These can be additional weapons and defences, trick moves, and special capabilities including making the cars go faster or even drive in the other direction. Children love that they can upgrade the cars to enhance their gameplay. Danielle Barker, Consumer Electronics Category Manager at Exertis Gem commented “Anki DRIVE brings slot car racing into the 21st Century using revolutionary AI technology and is a unique accessory to bolster our Apple offering to the retail market. We’re excited to have been selected as their distribution partner, and look forward to seeing their brand develop in the UK.”

Typing Matters from Microsoft Not just a keyboard. A springboard

Typing Matters

As a nation we’re spending more and more time studying at our computers, laptops and tablets. But are we missing the opportunity to gain valuable skills that could set us up for life, like typing?

The initiative is empowering parents of children and students to create the right conditions for successful study both at home and in educational establishments, so students have the best chance of succeeding academically as well as professionally.

Microsoft wants everyone to have the best chance to succeed academically and professionally. And it all starts with the right keyboard.

‘Typing Matters’ is a new initiative from Microsoft to raise the importance of typing as a life-skill amongst parents and students across the nation.

‘Typing Matters’ is a call-to-arms, a cry to wake up and shake up the nation to the importance of being able to type well in the modern world. It is providing the future generation with the right tools, information and environment to learn new skills and set them up for future success.

to find out more

The Aim

The Springboard to Success

The aim of Typing Matters is to encourage parents of children and students to take a step forward both at home and within education to succeed academically and professionally later in life. The ability to type well is an increasing necessity in the modern world and one that will continue to grow. Therefore it is fundamental that the younger generation are learning to type as early as possible.

This concept positions a Microsoft keyboard as a catalyst for success, but it also communicates the skill-for-life message. The concept works to show how the life-skill of typing will remain with the person from childhood through to adulthood, how there is a Microsoft keyboard for every stage of life, and how those keyboards and typing as a skill have provided a ‘springboard to success’.

The concept and skill of typing will follow a child through life to whichever profession they may enter. The ability to type is a key skill within every profession from medical to mechanical, ofﬁce work and hairdressing.

To complement the Typing Matters campaign, Microsoft are also giving away a free typing course to give children a head start on their journey to having a real life skill.

With such a huge range of Microsoft’s keyboards to suit a variety of ages and requirements, there are no limits. It will encourage desk top working which not only improves posture but also productivity.

With Unity, Ubisoft seems to be redeﬁning the very pillars that ﬁrst held up Assassin’s Creed, and interestingly enough, going back to focus on the roots of the franchise seems to be the best move that the series can make this time around. PLAYSTATION LIFESTYLE

Latest in the best-selling blockbuster series First Assassin’s Creed designed for next generation systems Four-player co-op mode

pre-order today with Exertis Gem

he next chapter in the 73 million-selling Assassin’s Creed series arrives in October, and takes players to the bustling streets of Paris during the French Revolution era. Set in 1789, the cobblestone streets run red with blood of those who dare to rise up against the aristocracy. A young man named Arno sets out on a brave journey to expose those behind the Revolution; with the fate of the country at stake, players must transform him into a Master Assassin. This year’s release represents a special milestone for the series, being the first designed exclusively for the next generation platforms. Unity will be a showcase for Ubisoft and their incredible new Anvil engine tech. The game has been completely rebuilt from the ground up to take full advantage of the capabilities of the next generation systems, and players can expect incredible visuals with a cinematic flair. From the storming of the Bastille to the execution of King Louis XVI, players will get to experience the French Revolution like never before and help the people of France liberate themselves and carve their own destiny

The game also boasts a reinvented fighting system, and Arno, is billed as even more lethal and deadly than his ancestors. Players can choose from an array of new weapons, including the Phantom Blade - a hidden blade with crossbow capabilities.

A return to what made the franchise great in the ﬁrst place: exotic locations, the thrill of running free for a kill, and the political intrigue of a new conﬂict.

Unity [is] a beautiful looking game, keeping up with the style and substance of the previous AC iterations that came before it. Assassin's Creed fans are probably going to love it.

Elsewhere, the movement system has also been overhauled, with new parkour abilities that promise

GAME DYNAMO

The shift in emphasis to more stealthy gameplay could be a great thing; a fresh take that the series has been in sore need of for some time.

‘unprecedented control and freedom’ Enhanced stealth mechanics, meanwhile, make avoidance and assassination even more thrilling. Overhauled co-op play will also be a key new feature of the game, with a four-player online experience that allows players to team up and pull off heists together to earn loot, or play through story-driven missions where teamwork is essential.

he world’s top selling dance video game returns with the most exciting features and the hottest track list yet.

Since the series first emerged five years ago, over 50 million copies have been sold, and more than 100 million players have interacted with the Just Dance universe. With this passion for sharing and creative energy to tap into, Just Dance 2015 is set to take the series to the next level by allowing users to power it. Thanks to the new Community Remix feature, Ubisoft is bringing the players into the actual game for the first time by using their console’s camera peripheral. Players can record themselves dancing to their favourite song, and share the results with the world. The community then votes on the best videos, and the Just Dance development team will use this fan footage from 15-30 videos to make new remixed gameplay that will then be made available for players worldwide to compete for the highest score. Elsewhere, the Just Dance Wall keeps all of the feats of the Just Dance community, and allows players to make friends, share their stats, their finest dance moves, and also vote on others’ shared videos. Competition is always a big part of Just Dance 2015, and Challenger Mode allows players to dance against anyone in the world at any time. Previous performances can be rated, with those scores shared with the wider community for future challenges.
