TDK Life on Record expandsfamily of Trek Wireless speakersSmall in stature, but big on sound. Coming soon to Exertis Gem.

TDK Life on Record, a leading global brand dedicated to delivering high-quality headphones and audio products, has launched two additions to its TREK family-a line of speakers with a unique weather resistant design. New in the portfolio are the TREK Micro and A360 wireless speakers, both soon to be available from Exertis Gem.

First introduced in the U.S. in September 2013, the TDKLife on Record TREK Wireless Speaker leverages the latest Bluetooth wireless technology to provide high quality, near lossless audio streaming with no docking required. Despite its compact size, the TREK speaker delivers an impressive listening experience through twofull range drivers and two passive radiators.

The new TDK Life on Record TREK Micro Wireless Speakerwas designed to deliver exceptionally clear sound while on-the-go. Yet, measuring in at only three and a quarterinches square and less than half a pound, the speakercould go virtually unnoticed when attached to your backpack, belt loop or purse.

The brand also offers the TDK Life on Record A360 Wireless Speaker, the latest addition to the line ofportable speaker products. The new speaker impressivelydelivers rich, balanced audio from its four full-rangespeakers and a subwoofer that instantly fills any spacewith 360 degrees of sound. The A360’s rechargeable battery provides up to six hours of portability while itsuniquely designed casing is weatherized to protect againstthe elements.

After five years in development, Ubisoft’s groundbreaking blockbuster isfinally ready for launch.

This exhilarating openworld action adventure stars Aiden Pearce, a giftedvigilante hacker who must use all the skills at his disposal to track downthose responsible for hurting his family.

From the creative geniuses behind such huge-selling brands as Assassin’sCreed and Splinter Cell, Watch_Dogs shares some of the DNA that made thosegames so special.

The game is set in a modern day Chicago, a bustling urban metropolis whereeverything is connected… and everything can therefore be hacked.

In Watch_Dogs, the city infrastructure runs on the same Central OperatingSystem (ctOS), and Aiden Pearce knows exactly how to manipulate things forhis own ends.

He is able to monitor and hack everyone and everything via a mobile phone,and can control security cameras to avoid detection, or download informationto locate the whereabouts of a target, or even control traffic lights and raisenearby bridges to cause chaoas in a getaway.

Put simply, the city is Aiden’s ultimate weapon.

And when subtle countermeasures don’t cut it, Aiden is also pretty handywith his fists, or taking down enemies with his dead-eyed shooting skills.

Watch_Dogs gives players more than 30 weapons to get to grips with, andboasts some 65 vehicles to explore the city with. With contributions from theteam behind Driver, it’s a game that will feel great behind the wheel.

Watch_Dogs is also a stunning game to look at, thanks to its 'Disrupt' gameengine. With all versions developed in tandem, gamers will enjoy benchmark-setting visuals - no matter which platform they own.

Player choice is also a key feature of the game, and the decisions made willcreate a "ripple effect" on not just the story, but the city and the life ofChicago's population.

Meanwhile, the game's unique multiplayer component allows players tocontrol surveillance cameras in order to hack opponents.

Watch_Dogs will be one of this year's key releases. Get in touch with yourExertis Gem account manager today.

Stuntbike racing series Trials returns this month, with a beautifulnext-gen makeover of the classic formula.

Following on from the stunning critical and commercial success of the2012 Xbox Live release Trials Evolution, Finnish developer RedLynx hasdelivered its most ambitious and fully featured Trials game yet.

Trials: Fusion enhances the classic pick-up-and-play formula with next-gen social features that takes the game’s keen competitive element to a whole new level.

The game represents a technical breakthrough for the long-running series, with the added power of the new platforms allowing RedLynx todeliver the cutting edge ‘FMX Physics’ trick system.

The bikes will feel more responsive and realistic than ever, allowing players to truly feel in control as they get to grips with the nuances ofthe devilishly testing tracks on offer.

This time around, RedLynx has opted for an altogether more futuristicvibe for the track environments, with immaculate neon cityscapes, andsoaring skyscrapers offering a vertigo-inducing experience.

The game will ship with more than 60 challenging tracks, but users will be invited to create and share their own via Trials Fusion’s contentcreator mode.

With more than 1000 parts available to tinker with, and vast 4km mapsto build custom creations on, Trials: Fusion’s creative element has beenplaced front-and-centre.

Indeed, the player’s own character level and multiplayer progression islinked to the creative mode, to encourage players to get involved with the community.

Trials: Fusion also promises more vehicle variety, with quad bikes and a BMX bike allowing players to enjoy entirely new challenges on the same tracks.

But perhaps the most significant new feature is the addition of tricks tothe stunt racing formula. Players can showboat for extra points, by flailing their limbs, or holding a pose while spinning throughthe air.

As ever, global leaderboards present that competitive one-more-go element, while local and online multiplayer promise to make Trials: Fusion one of the most compelling social games around.

Everything’s lined-up for Trials: Fusion to head onto the big stage and become one of gaming’s rue superstars.

EXCLUSIVE TO

MICROSOFT STUDIOS | XBOX ONE - £49.99 | 11th APRIL 2014

Developed by Rare, the studio behind Kinect Sports - one of the best-sellingfranchises on the Xbox 360, Kinect Sports Rivals is the next generation ofreimagined sports games for Xbox One.

Kinect Sports Rivals immerses players into the game like never before, tracking notonly limbs, but fingers, hand gestures, even facial movements and expressionswith incredible accuracy.

Scanning the player, Kinect instantly produces a stylised avatar called a “Champion”. This one-of-a-kind athlete is dropped on to a rich seamless island, where all the sporting action happens.

Both global and personal games are held here daily, on pounding waves and towering stacks, target ranges and tennis courts, with 6 exciting sports to master:Tennis, Bowling, Soccer, Wake Race, Target Shooting and Climbing.

Delivering new sports and events that were never before possible, thanks to the Xbox One’s revolutionary technology, this new and improved tracking letsplayers deliver more lifelike moves such as devastating backspins and lobs in Tennis, or the all-important spin with a skilful twist of the wrist to achieve a strikein bowling.

Soccer returns from previous entries with a new approach. Players must pass the ball to static marked and unmarked team mates; the increased difficulty of the passes will provide added shooting power when player finally targets the goal.

Target shooting requires players to accurately point at targets to activate them,but targets will decrease in score value over time, so order and timing is key for mastering this activity.

Another new addition is Rock Climbing, where players open and close their hands to grip on to the digital rock face.

Finally Wake Racing brings exciting Jet-ski races by revving and steering with imaginary handles over stunning waves.

With exhilarating competitions to participate in, players can join one of three competing global teams on the island: Wolf Clan Eagle Legion and Viper Network, each with its own playing style and philosophy.

Progressively mastering sporting events by levelling up, players can gain fame and unlock rewards. It’s a world full of sports that all will enjoy. Customers can take on friends at home or rivals online across the world.
