Looking at the back catalog of posts, a couple from October and early November nearly slipped through the cracks. We're setting things straight with this edition of the Bitmob Spotlight.
The prolific Brian Shirk's comparison of the struggles faced by rap and video games is an eye-opener -- enjoy it, as he's taking a break from writing for a while.
Tyler Gill makes his five-point argument for Team Fortress 2 as the most fun you'll have online. David Matos and Nick Gates introduce themselves, as well as outline their future projects on the site, while Rob Savillo makes an interesting case for a game loosely based on the (horrible) film Death Race.
Gerren Fisher rounds up the Spotlight with part one of his series on hero worship; this one focuses on the solider.
Two Different Mediums, One Similar Struggle
By Brian Shirk
Rap and video games. Rap is often featured on soundtracks, but that's not why Brian mentions them together. The mediums both struggle against the media, the uninformed, and the uninformed parts of the media. Even though we won't be seeing much from Brian for a while, this piece speaks volumes about games, music, and the author.

By David Matos

Here is his first entry, a discussion of Professor Layton and the Curious Village. David lays down his methods and hopefully will carry this relaxed discussion format to other, lesser-known titles.
Death Race: The Game?
By Rob Savillo
Rob's right. Paul W.S. Anderson has floundered since he made Event Horizon. Death Race is about the last thing I want to see, but I'm glad Rob endured it, since it triggered a novel idea: a car combat game with the vaguest of RPG elements. Sometimes amazing ideas come from bad experiences. Someone should make this game...now.
In the Year 2000...In the Year 2000
By Nick Gates
Nick's introduction to Bitmob comes in the form of a plan. He's taking a look at the games released in 2000 and doing a bi-weekly write up on them. Look for his first article the first week of 2010. This guy likes to plan ahead.
Hero Worship: Part 1
By Gerren Fisher
What makes a hero? Inspired by radio host Colin Cowherd's criticism of Lebron James' idolization of Michael Jordan, Gerren launches into a multi-part analysis of heroes. He begins with a look at the gritty world of the realistic video game soldier.
