This place..... This place is the holy grail of bad video game stores. Im not joking. Terrible selection of games, most are common titles, overpriced games and most common titles are double or triple what you can buy them on eBay for. Some of the staff members can be rude, but some can be friendly, but when it comes to prices, none are friendy. They want $30 bucks for Super Mario World for the SNES. This is a game that sold over 20 million copies worldwide, almost everyone who owned a SNES had this game at some point. Its very common and a great game. So why is it $30 here? They are hoping to find some idiot who does not know how to use a computer or ebay so that he can pay these stupid prices. You can get SMW for like $10 on ebay. When I asked why their prices were so high, they said the same thing every overpriced video game store says. " We are the only ones in the area that sell this kind of stuff and alot of people dont know how to use ebay or they are afraid to." There are like 2 other game stores around that sell the same stuff for much less. Dont waste your time here.

Prices are fair and the people are great! First, I will say the prices are fair and comparable to a Gamestop. So if you are looking for low prices on games go and shop online, you pay more for the convenience of not waiting weeks to get your games. Second, the selection of used games are amazing!! They carry classic games from the NES, N64, Gameboy, etc. Third, they have very knowledgeable customer service, I have asked several questions about game consoles and games over the years of coming here and have not been let down. Fourth, they have Magic The Gathering tournaments and sell Magic cards! In conclusion, I will always go here over a Gamestop any day, reasons are: The atmosphere here is friendly and the staff is nice to talk to. I can find classic games at fair prices. They have Magic The Gathering tournaments here.

This place is simply fantastic! I have been coming to this location for all my last gen and retro needs for about the last 3 years now, I have yet to be let down. Fair pricing on all titles, you will pay for convience. Insanely fair on trades, night and day better then GameStop! The staff are always friendly, from the guy behind the counter working on a stuck button on a 3ds, to the guy in the back repairing discs. I will still go to GameStop for new titles, no one makes money on brand new titles, but I will forever come here for any other gaming needs. Reminds me I need to look for a PS4 Rockband Guitar...I know where Im going!

I have shopped at this store a number of times. They have a decent selection selection of retro and new games, and although many of them are overpriced, most are fairly priced, and they always work when I try them out. I did see a Super Metroid cartridge going for one hundred dollars there, which is ridiculous, but many of the games are priced only slightly higher than youd get them for on eBay or Amazon. The staff is nice enough, and they have a buy two get one free/ buy one get one half price deal on used games of equal or lesser value, so you can get some good deals. Id recommend this store to all video game fans.

I like them, like with most retro games, youre not gonna find the good stuff right away. These guys keep an eye out for stuff, all you have to do is ask. Guys here have always helped me even if Im not spending money. Ive had consoles brought in and tested, or cleaned. Same with games. Give them a shot, they can get busy so dont be upset if they kind of put you on the back burner for the paying customers.

Been going there for awhile. Some of the employees are helpful and pretty cool. The others arent as friendly or easy to work with. Their prices for mtg and other card games are very reasonable, I would even say great. Ive been to the other cards stores around town and this is one of the best. I dont really review things, but when I do, I tell it like it is.

These guys know their stuff. If theres any place in town to get classic gaming systems, games, or accessories, its here. Staff give good recommendations and are fair when something doesnt work. Only downside is pricing- since they know their games pretty well, you wont find any amazing deals; but, their prices are still very fair.

Bought a controller that was used and it didnt work at all. The guy told me that he was "playing" with it earlier and it was fine but when I told him that it doesnt even work, he stopped making his case. Mind as well buy new controllers, consoles, etc from GameStop or Walmart, etc. Horrible service.

The guys who work here are unfriendly. I came here to buy a Game Boy and wanted the employee to show me it worked. He spent a good two minutes trying to figure the thing out. That being said, the system works well and was a great find, but I wouldnt want anyone to have to deal with these guys.

Stopped in after dinner to look around and the guy working was very nice and we had a pleasant conversation while my wife reminisced on Yoshis World. Even though I didnt buy anything now he was very nice and I would consider coming back in my leisure time to find something I want.

I love going here because the prices are reasonable and the staff have great conversations with you so it isnt as awkward. An overall great experience. Ive found myself there for multiple hours cause I lost track of time.

I really like this place. The employees that work here are always friendly and easy going. I dont have to worry about them watching me like other places I go where they think Im gonna pocket something.

Had an expensive Wii game that was unplayable. Their disc resurfacing machine basically made it brand new again for a few bucks. Awesome, will be shopping there again!

i try to sell some of my old xbox games and the offer was very bad if you plan to sell your stuff go some where else or you will get bad low offer from them.
