Summer is waning, and we're headed into the busiest season of the year for video games. Luckily, our talented Bitmob community has been honing its keen writing edge, as this month's Big 10 proves. I especially enjoyed the humor in these submissions -- y'all are a funny bunch. And it always warms my heart when a Bitmobber makes the Big 10 with his very first article, as Isaac Federspiel did this month. Congrats to everyone!

Do you want to be on next month's list? Here are some tips:
Catchy headlines: A great one goes a long way -- you'd be amazed at how much this matters. If it doesn't draw people's attention, it doesn't matter how good your article is. You can easily double or triple your hits with a catchy and interesting headline.
