Yes, that’s right people… Spike TV chose BlazBlue: Calamity Trigger as one of the nominees for Fighting Game of the Year. Now, here’s your chance to make it win. Cast your vote over at http://www.spike.com/event/vga2009/page/vote/category/34730 and we just might have a chance to win.

As you have undoubtedly noticed by now, we have cried “Agarest”, and let slip the dogs of, uh, announcements. Well, sort of re-announcements, but still.

Some of you are wondering—as well you might—if Agarest will see what is commonly referred to as a “Collector’s Edition”. I can tell you now that this is entirely possible. And before you ask, yes, we are examining our options for both platforms. The logistics of such a feat are still under discussion, but I have a question to put to you, potential purchaser of Agarest. That question is: What would you like to see in a collector’s edition of Record of Agarest War? Please, let us know, either by commenting here, or in the forums, or through electronic mail.

Still on the fence about giving the BIT.TRIP games a whirl?

Let us give you a boost and help you over that fence with a BIT.TRIP BEAT Demo!

Congratulations goes out to Veteru, the winner of the BlazBlue Triple Threat Tournament! We just wanted to say thanks for the community coming out and participating (by that I mean Dustloop ) Below you’ll find the main match vids for the tournament courtesy of UfragTv. The videos are after the jump.

Updated! Now with screenshots!

That’s right folks! Record of Agarest War is now coming to your Xbox 360 as a full retail product alongside the PlayStation Network verison in the Spring of 2010. But, if you want to know what the reasons for this decision our Editor, Ben Bateman said it best…

“In truth, we had Record of Agarest War ready to go up on the PlayStation Network months ago,” [Ed.'s note: That’s a lie.] says Ben Bateman, Editor, Aksys Games, “But when a haggard man emerged from a ball of crackling energy that materialized outside our office with dire warnings from a dark future, we decided to reconsider. As it turns out, a PlayStation Network-exclusive release of Agarest was—or rather, would have been—the catalyst for World War III. The gaming community was torn apart—literally—by this apparent favoritism, and from that schism poured the infinite minions of Satan himself, the Lord of Lies. The man told us, his eyes blank with the 1000-yard stare, of the horrors of this future war. He had been sent back in time, the last hope of a desperate human resistance, to prevent what the people of this desolate future Earth called, simply, ‘The Breaking.’ As the last spark of life passed from his body, broken and battered by his journey through the time vortex, we swore to honor his final wish.”

“This is why Record of Agarest War has been delayed,” Ben continues, his eyes wet with tears, “So that we may release it on both consoles, and in doing so, save the world.”

Also, one of the best reasons you want to get the North American version is that we’ve included Trophy and Achievement support!

Full press release after the jump.
