And, at least in Japan, it’s when those games reach “greatest hits” budget prices. Famitsu—and we’re guessing parent company Enterbrain—have tracked some of 2009’s bestselling games that bear the budget price, known on the Sony side as “PlayStation 3 the Best” titles and on the Microsoft side, “Platinum Hits.” We realize you —- link GamePad: The Best Video Gaming Blog Posts

Alas, we don’t believe we’ll be seeing “Mansionvania: Vacuum of Sorrow” landing on Nintendo’s digital —- link GamePad: The Best Video Gaming Blog Posts

It’s pretty adorable listening to our electronics-obsessed sister site Engadget talk about video games, a sensation not unlike listening to a music professor trying to connect with students over the latest Jay-Z album. (“Say kids, isn’t this track vibin’?!”) But we think they nailed it with their inclusion of the Xbox 360 in their “Ten gadgets that defined the decade” list.

The North American trailer for Compile Heart’s breeding RPG Record of Agarest War knows its audience, and with blurred nudity and a borderline money shot, grabs them by the…well it isn’t the throat.

Recently, the company introduced a new fighting franchise in BlazBlue, and even though it was very well-received — it’s almost at a 90 on Metacritic and we certainly enjoyed it — fight fans want to know when they’ll get more Guilty Gear.

That means thinking about which games were the best, most influential and had the deepest personal impact on us. I haven’t really had a chance to properly sift through my recollections and memories of ten years worth of gaming to come to any final conclusion, but I did jump into review-tracking sites Game Rankings and Meta Critic to see what the aggregators said
