I was a very busy shark during the month of August. To the point that I didn't have as much time to devote to the Monthly Musings topic last month as I usually do. Here are the blogs that did actually make it to the front page:

• Instant Replay: Duke's survival guide -- by The Duke
• Instant Replay: Civilization -- by ZargonX 
• Instant Replay: Guitar Hero III -- by SW3etMadness
• Instant Replay: Ninja Gaiden (NES) -- by RJG
• Instant Replay: Star Ocean: The Second Story -- by Urashima

There were a lot of good blogs made last month and I just didn't have as much time as I would have liked to go through them all. At the very least, I've listed all the blogs that were worth the read after the jump.

Now that PAX is over, I have a lot more free time to devote to the promotions for this month's topic, Feel the Hatred. Expect to see the promotions for September's Monthly Musing topic to start this Tuesday.
