I wasn't able to view your "stats" on my first visit (hence, appraised domain name ONLY) ... and will revisit the thread in the a.m. with the figures provided (below, thanks RJ). Thank you for your patience.

domain name, as is doesn't do it justice. :o
The longer domain name ("videogamecity.com") could add value
to the existing site, for sure. Have you approached them and asked them if they were selling? Has there been an Offer made or any negotiations at the present time? That information would help us here, as well.
Considering that they may be making money off of the site there as it is now, they may ask for a premium ... and your task will be to figure out if that premium paid will more than make up for the additional stats, membership and potential revenue (advertising) for your existing site, IMHO. Domain name alone (the other one) is $50 - $75+, IMHO ... but they'd likely ask for much more. If I were you, I'd consider paying $375 - $625+ (domain name) as that seems like a reasonable investment into your business (with the likely traffic already to go for your site).
I'm going to move this now to the "Domain Discussions" Forum for continuing input, as you don't presently OWN the domain in question, and for which as Appraisal is sought. You'll still get some good feedback there ... and Good Luck with your decision.
Thanks.
