I was absolutely appauled by the owner today. I went in to initially buy a Dreamcast today and went to the counter. I ask the owner where I can find one and he just pointed he did not get up to help me. After the second or third time of asking he finally got up. Keep in mind the store wasnt busy at all, I was the only one there. Later I found the system and wasnt happy about the price which was $60. He told me I wouldnt find a cheaper dreamcast anywhere. I told him eBay sells them for way cheaper. He shouted " I dont compete with eBay prices", so why would you have top eBay prices? so I went to comics n toys and bought one there for $35. Side note: I highly recommend that place. Red flag number one. so at that point, I asked if he can throw in the cheapest game he can find. He laughed in my face and told me absolutely not, I have to pay for the $4 game on top of the Dreamcast game. We mentioned that we just need to test a Dreamcast game with the disc swap method, and thats why we needed the game. HE ACTUALLY ACCUSED US OF TRYING TO RESELL HIS GAMES ON EBAY. How nieve can you be. Who in the right mind would buy his over priced games put them on eBay and lose money? Here comes the creepy part. I hosted a garage sale 3 years ago, and he was still sour I didnt sell my games to him for dirt cheap. He still remembers who I am and almost exactly where I live. I wasnt comfortable about talking to him about personak information, and wanted to change discussion back to the Dreamcast. He then with an aggressive tone yelled at me , " Im trying to have a conversation with you". He wanted to keep discussing where I lived? that was the last straw, I was actually considering buying the Dreamcast, but no more. The moment I came in he had a hubris, angry tone with me. He was angry with me for whatever reason, and I didnt know why I deserved this. Maybe because he recognized me immediately and remembers I didnt sell my games to him, but still I am a customer and shouldnt be treated this way. To the owner, you know exactly who I am, and you should be ashamed of yourself. There is no excuse of what youve done to me. All I wanted was to buy a Dreamcast, thats it. To add icing to the cake he told me that the $60 Dreamcast he was trying to sell actually sells on eBay for $10. Wow! To everybody reading this guys review, look on eBay first. I was so angry, I had to write a full honest review. I am completely honest with this review, and aware all of it is true.

The GameZone is my go to for everything gaming and gaming related. Im the girlfriend of the previous reviewer who got me the Nintendo 64 for Christmas, and hes also the one who introduced me to GZ... And hes inadvertently created a monster. Im in GameZone at least once every 2 weeks or so, and I always say "I swear, Im just going to look this time", but I always end up leaving with something. With the help of GameZone, my collection of N64 games has grown at an alarming rate since Christmas of 2015. The owner and staff are some of the nicest, most accommodating people Ive ever had the pleasure of doing business with. They are very knowledgable, and their prices are more than fair. The owner very clearly has a passion for games and loves what hes doing. They quite literally have everything, and if you really have your heart set on something that they dont have in stock, you can ask to be put on their wish list. I also kind of look at the store as a museum. Theyve got some really, REALLY cool stuff displayed around the store, which is absolutely not for sale, ranging from just plain neat to extremely hard to find items. They also host various tournaments, including the Pokémon TCG. I live in Rockland County, NY, and I happily make the drive out of my way into New Jersey to pop into GameZone, and I highly suggest you do too!

Ive only been here twice, and know this is where i want to go for games. I traded in quite a few games and a DS Lite and got a decent amount of store credit, which I used to buy Just Cause 3. I found there was a crack in the disk when I got home, but thought nothing of it as it had worked. It stopped working a few days later. I walked in today, explained the situation, and got another copy, free of charge. Anyone reading this review, please go here. The store is very cool, with many classic consoles and games to buy or look at. This store well deserves a 5 star rating, with extremely friendly staff, and a wide array of games to pick and choose from.

This store is amazing! They have any games for any system you can think of, and for a cheap price! I personally am a fan of retro Nintendo games like to NES and SNES, and this is where I go whenever Im looking for a new game. They also have games for all the modern consoles, and everything in between. The service is great, and the people there are very nice, and will do anything they can to make your time there as pleasant as possible. If youre looking for a game, just go here, and you find anything youre looking for.

Good service, nice people/community. Games are at good prices and the owner is very pleasant. Very home like and makes you feel very welcomed. Overall outstanding. However trade in values are not close to lets say a GameStop or Amazon. To be exact I traded in my pikmin 2 GameCube game, which is much more expensive then what I received from The Gamezone. Dont let that weigh your opinion on the store. It is still a great place at a great area and sells so many amazing games!

Gamezone is the best place to buy games in Bergen County. The selection is amazing, the fact that they sell old games is great, and the people there are helpful and pretty cool. The only negative thing I can say is that for some reason, only Pokemon games for the 3DS are overpriced by 5 to 10 dollars. Everything else is either just as good or even better priced than any big box store. Also, they play Vampire Weekend every once in a while, and that makes me happy.

Knowledgeable, owner is willing to go out of his way to help. Best selection of older games at the best prices. I once bought a game there and it did not work, the owner had no problems with returns - he even tried to fix it a few times - he instead bought the same game and gave it to me at a lost to him. Have implemented a great new system that notifies you when a game you have requested is available. Will never go anywhere else for my gaming needs.

Awesome place. Not a lot of trusty ways you can buy older games or accessories, but this is definitely one of them. Recently sold an xbox 360 here, they gave me way more than gamestop would have, and unlike gamestop, gamezone has an actually respectable library that touches every generation of games. Really excited that I found out about Gamezone-looking forward to building a nice collection with their help.
