Exertis Digital gives retailers the ability to sell Xbox Live digital codes via your creditaccount, in conjunction with in-store marketing assets and an easy-to-use website topurchase your customer’s requested product.

The products available through Exertis Digital range from download currency todownloadable memberships and enables retailers to not only decrease stock holding riskon digital download products, but control physical stock holding too; thus enabling themto stock more physical products such as games, consoles and hardware, thereforeincreasing their capacity to consumer.

With digital becoming an increasing factor in retail, Exertis Digital gives retailers theopportunity to stay in reach of customer demand and provide a wider variety of digital products.

Microsoft’s Pawan Bhardwaj said, “Digital codes offer the unique opportunity for retailers to promote the thousands of great games and add-ons available within the marketplace without being exposed on stock.

Not only that, but the customer experience becomes more personalised than everbefore. Local stores can help to select innovative and exciting titles that might beoverlooked by some of the more publicised games.

Allowing retailers, especially physical ones, selling digital codes lets them be reactive to new content that becomes available in the market place. It also letsretailers get instant access to digital codes for customers any time of the day.

Retailers have a chance to grasp the digital opportunity to ensure they are offering customers what they want, which is a combination of disc and digital products”

Regardless of whether you're areturning fan or new to the seriesFar Cry 4 will keep you up forhours as you discover newlocations, liberate more outpostsand wonder quietly what youcould have done differently tokeep poor Dumbo alive.PC & TECH AUTHORITY

It looks amazing and seems likeit’s expanding upon all the othercomponents that made the lastgame still compelling.

AUGGAMERS

Far Cry 4 appears to follow veryclosely the everything-and-the-kitchen-sink approach to open world gamingthat Ubisoft has refined over the lastfew years, and packaged in numerous different ways. The game’s greatestasset is its irregular setting, andUbisoft appears to have captured anddistilled it expertly.

The follow-up to one of 2012’s highest ratedblockbusters hits the shelves this month, andpromises to deliver the most expansive and

immersive Far Cry experience yet.

Set in the massive, Himalayan-inspired open world ofKyrat, players will find themselves caught up in acountry ravaged by civil war and violence.

Upon returning to spread his mother’s ashes, leadprotagonist Ajay Ghale gets far more than he bargainedfor, and soon finds himself battling against flamboyantdictator Pagan Min and his oppressive regime.

In the ongoing tradition of the acclaimed Far Cry series,players must explore a beautiful but dangerousenvironment, filled with unpredictable challenges,vicious wildlife and heavily armed militia.

Armed to the teeth with high-powered weaponry anduseful gadgets, Ajay must help the locals fight back andtake down those who have ruined their way of life.

Every decision counts, and every second is a story in thisdiverse, beautiful and dangerous world. The lush junglesand snow-capped hills hide abundant wildlife, fromleopards, and rhinos, to elephants, snakes and bears,and players will be both hunter and the hunted as theyembark on a hunt for precious resources.

As with Far Cry 3, crafting your own weapons andupgrades is a key part of the gameplay in this brilliantfusion of stealth and action. Creep up on enemies andprey, mark your targets and skillfully take them downbefore they even know what’s happened.

Once again, a diverse selection of vehicles awaits inKyrat, but players now have the ability to scout enemyterritory from the air in the all-new gyrocopter and thenplummet back to earth in the exhilarating wing suit,before climbing on the back of a six-ton elephant towreak havoc.

New gadgets such as the grappling hook, and thehugely useful new autodrive ability also make gettingaround the vast environment more enjoyable than ever.

But one of Far Cry 4’s most engaging new features isthe drop-in/drop-out co-op play, which allows friends tojoin in and experience the open world playgroundtogether, and team-up for the dozens of side quests.

Alongside that, revamped team-based multiplayer letsplayers choose to fight as either a heavily armed soldierof the Golden Path rebellion, or as a stealthy member ofthe ancient Kalinag warrior tribe.

Elsewhere, the intuitive map editor allows players toquickly build their own maps, share them with theworld, and then play in them with others.

Far Cry 4 promises to be another spectacular stealthaction adventure, and is sure to be one of this year’sbiggest selling titles.
