ANM Interviews Oi! Conference 2013
This year's Oi! Conference at the Cardiff Marriott Hotel, had a special flavour about it. Not only did it feature the awesome speakers Mark Schaefer, Philippa Davies, Ian Cleary, a hefty panel and a very enthusiastic audience, but it was also firmly weighted towards inclusivity and the social element of the social web. Roll on 2014.

XCOM: Enemy Unknown - Interview
Arthur C Clarke once said, "two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying". In fact, that very quote appears during the introduction to XCOM: Enemy Unknown, a game that explores the terrifying prospect that we are under attack from forces we do not understand nor hope to defeat, at least with our current level of technology.

Karateka Classic for iOS - Review
I was introduced to computers in 1984, when my father bought an Apple IIe. With the help of this wondrous new machine, I got to grips with programming, word processing, and unsurprisingly, games. One of these was Karateka, a simple, yet highly impressive action side scroller; you fought your way through many henchmen, avoiding traps along the way, hoping to rescue the lovely princess. What set this game apart was not only its animation, great fight sequences, satisfying musical score, and a simple, yet compulsive storyline, but the fact that you couldn't rely on extra lives to complete your quest. Just like in real life, if you died, that was it. Unlike real life of course, you could go back to the very beginning and try again. Many hours were spent attempting to rescue the girl.

Star Command for iOS - Review
This game made the news back in 2011, when it became famous for successfully funding its development thanks to crowdsourcing through Kickstarter.
It's taken a lot longer than anticipated to release Star Command, but it's finally here and we can now explore space, have diplomatic relations with aliens, organise away missions and shoot hostile space crafts on your iPhone, iPod touch or iPad... Well, not quite.

There are so many camera apps for your iPhone, each hoping that they'll offer sufficient features to make them worth you replacing the default yet basic Camera app with. How does Blux Camera Pro fare?
