Overall not one of the better stores Ive been to. Ive gone to all of the different locations for some time now and Im starting to get kind of a snooty vibe from some of the newer employees. It seems like they only feel like acknowledging you if theyre in the mood to, which gives off an unfriendly vibe. With that being said, it seems like this could be overlooked by the store having a great selection, and sometimes the selection is one of the better ones for the game stores in this area, however this is completely brought down by the prices of the games. Most of them arent outrageous (some are), but none of them are by any means a great value. You have about a 25% chance of them having the game you want if youre a hardcore collector, and a 10% chance of them having the game that you want at a good price. They probably will have most common games that youd be looking for, but again the price wont be of what the games worth. Its subtle but recognizable if you know what youre looking for. Finally, what makes this store one of my least favorites is their trade-in prices. Most regulars wont think twice about what theyre getting from them, as they just bring in a pile and take as much credit as they can to put towards other games. After seeing how much they offer on almost every game, I can never say another bad thing about Gamestops trade-in offers ever again. It is literally about 20-25% of what theyre going to mark it at, and if you want cash, its even less. They try to be a friendly, welcoming store for the hardcore gamers, but in all reality, theyre a so-so game store that has very little perks, no matter which reason youre going there for.

This store is a diamond in the post road rough. All of the employees are supremely passionate and knowledgable about what they do. As a lover of video games yet lost in the new social media realm in terms of news and knowledge surrounding games, Retro Games Plus has been an amazing help, they have the best suggestions on games based on everything from preferred control schemes to quirky offbeat game aesthetic. I would highly suggest this store for any help on technical or any other video game questions you have. They have really set a new standard for game stores.

GREAT PLACE! Very nostalgic with all the old consoles including rows of games and accessories for them. They have old school quarter machines and action figures. Of course they have all the modern and newer games/consoles to go with it. They also carry DVDs, strategy guides and just a lot of other things! The prices for purchase and trade in beat gamestop, for sure, and game exchange, both of which are down the street. Staff are helpful, friendly and great also. All together a terrific place!

Ive been waiting for this place to open up and Im glad I did! I walked in and I was overtaken with nostalgia and felt like I was a little kid all over again. Their selection is outstanding and contains consoles from the new age to old school. The staff was very helpful and the arcade cabinets just added to the trip down memory lane. Definitely step in if youre a fan of games or just want that trip down memory lane thats rare to come by these days.

Classic games, classic feel. The store brings me back to a lot of the things I grew up with. G.I. Joe action figures, Ninja Turtles and 8 bit video games. There are always new things that come into the store and catch my eye. I would recommend to anyone that enjoys retro things, anything from the 80s and early 90s. 5 star, must visit.

Almost in tears walking through this place. Ive been really big fan of Mortal Kombat and Gran Turismo. Whatever you were into video game wise, its a take back for sure. The staff is very nice not so introvert, I went with my wife previously to the spot in NYC and that staff there was terrible. This crew here was awesome.

as a gamer or collector you would have to be stupid not to stop in at one of their stores. anything you would ever want is right in front of you at great prices...games, toys, movies...its all there. the staff is also some of the most awesome people around. go there.

Love the selection of vintage games and consoles. Theyre priced comparatively and are worth giving your business too if you love to collect and play older video games. Staff is knowledgeable and passionate.

Retro Games Plus is a great place where I give them money and they momentarily create the illusion that Im back in the 90s again and everything is fine. Thanks, Retro Games Plus.

Love the selection of games and toys. They are a little pricey on some of the retro games but they have a lot that are harder to find

Helpful staff, selection is decent, and theyre willing to help you out. Skip GameStop and support a local business first.
