Very solid video game store for old and new games, with various gaming knick-knacks as well. Pricing is mostly standard/average pricing for the new and used games market. Their in-store stock seems identical to their online store stock, so if you can't make it to the store or are debating going, you can just shop online easily from the comfort of your home. Staff seem quiet, which is nice to bro...

Great shop! Employee there was very friendly and helpful. Sales from 10-20% off most items alongside very reasonable regular prices made the shopping experience wonderful.

Cool little shop with lots of different games, and a fair number of rare games for older consoles. They even sell some rare consoles that are definitely worth taking a look at! We were more specifically looking for French video games, and didn't see too much of that, but we didn't know any better, so that's not their fault at all! If you like retro video games, this is definitely worth a visit!

I just bought a couple things hoping the tape was put on light...

Just got done shopping here. The prices are okay, but the one item I was interested in wasn't clean and did not work properly when it was tested. The problem was something that I knew could be easily fixed, so I was still going to purchase it. Outside of all of that, the employee was rude and short with us, it seemed as if we were bothering him and he was in a hurry to get us out. My review is bas...
