Quick Pitch: AggreTweet is a Twitter-based web app which captures all the video game tweets in real-time from around the world.
Genius Idea: AggreTweet's goal is basically to be ComScore for gaming buzz on Twitter. It offers an aggregated real-time stream of game-related tweets, but also offers metrics for comparing topics against one another and ranks the most discussed platforms and games by what's being discussed right now and over recent intervals including the past day, week and month. AggreTweet also lists and ranks the most active gamers on Twitter.
AggreTweet is powered by Aggregame.com which is a larger portal and social media platform for gamers. Aggregame aggregates the latest gaming news (in a style very similar to sites like Alltop) and also has a Digg-style story face-off.
What makes the AggreTweet component so compelling is that not only can you watch realtime tweets and see the latest discussion trends, but if you click on a specific game or platform you can see and search the specific tweets in that topic category.
AggreTweet also has a live chat room for each topic (you can turn this off if you don't want to be bothered), which means you can chat with other people in real-time about the game or system.
AggreTweet integrates with Twitter using OAuth, so you can retweet or reply to Twitter messages you see on AggreTweet from within the app.

AggreTweet has been kind enough to offer Mashable readers access to its beta. Simply e-mail [email protected] for an invite token. The first 5,000 Mashable readers will get access.
I love seeing companies that utilize Twitter for specific users and use cases. As a broader gaming news aggregator, Aggregame is interesting, but the Twitter component of AggreTweet is unique in how quickly it collates and organizes information.
If you're a fan of video games or you like to keep up on the latest gaming trends, AggreTweet and Aggregame are a great resource.
