Used to be GameStar. Now goes by "Game On! Play On!". For the fact that there aren't retro video…read moregame stores on every corner these days, I will absolutely be back to give this place my business! They carry video games from most consoles from the past 30 years, the consoles for the games, Lego sets, funko pops, and more! Keep in mind they sell what they get so they might not have every game but I got four N64 games I really wanted! During my visit I saw, Sega Genisis, SNES, N64, PS1, Dreamcast consoles and more! And yeah maybe I paid a few extra dollars on some things but it supports local business and hopefully keeps brick and mortar stores like this around much longer. Sometimes you don't know what you have till it's gone people. Ken the manager was incredibly knowledgeable, helpful, and nice! Comparing their prices to Amazon or EBay, they seem to be right in line as far was what they're charging. In many cases actually charging less. Give this place a look!

Only a one-time visitor, but the store was your basic console retail business…read more I am impressed with the store's stock of vintage games and gaming accessories (NES/etc), but it's nothing you can't find at any other cookie-cutter clone-chain gaming store. I was disappointed with the location's apparent lack of Magic: The Gathering singles. One would think that with the HUGE window displays of M:TG artwork/branding that they would have more to offer than your basic booster packs and card sleeves. The store's customer service met your basic standards: greeted, asked if I needed assistance, wished a good day upon exit. I say it's definitely worth a stop if consoles are your thing.

My wedding video was stuck in my PS4 and have been putting off getting my Playstation fixed and he said it could take a few days to fix it and get the disk out. Which I was fine with. So I brought it in expecting it to be fixed by the end of the week. When I got there he asked if I had a few minutes to kind of hang out Which I did and he fixed it and had my wedding video out within a half-hour I was so freaking happy I would absolutely go here again and I will always recommend this place to anyone who needs video games or consoles. I will be buying all of my video games and consoles from here from now on! THANK YOU VIDEO GAME WIZARDS! I GIVE THIS PLACE 10 THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

They have had the same audio sounds from game machines and retro videos playing for years though, that is due for a change, but the quickly turned inventory allows for a sense of gambling excitement whenever I come by to check for additions to my collection. You can even be added to an alert list if you're hunting for a specific cartridge or disc. Excellent service and above par return exchange policy as well. Definitely worth it to stop by!

They had multiple cards I was interested in so I get ready for my 40 min trek, head over there, walk in and see the cards I wanted ON DISPLAY with price tags and everything. So I tell them I'm interested in a few cards and I'm told "oh I need to look at all these cards again."...so I wait around for 15 min just to essentially be told nothing they went out of their way to post on their instagram was for sale.... So I dragged my one year old son on a 2 hr trek for literally nothing. Will not be returning to this store ever

They were selling some zygard collection boxes at retail and we snatched those up! Also 6 packs at retail also!? Sure. There were some things that were market but what do expect? They didn't have shelves of sealed Costco product so I was happy and willing to spend my money here. Happy we did, ripped some great packs from here. Small collection of loose bulk but a large arrange of things. Day 1 was busy, lots of staff, lots of customers; day 2, no staff, back log of customers, but the staff that was there was hustling. Worth the stop if there's a new drop. Enjoy!

I need to see the box. Look at the pictures on the back and really weigh my options. That's why I love this place. I can rent games for all systems. I can rent DVDs and blue rays. I can choose from a physical selection instead of virtual. They have it all and its close to home. Hello instant gratification. The real bonus isn't the selection and gratifaction. It's the prices and customer service. The employees will bend over backwards for the customers. Reserving games and movies to make the customer happy. The prices are so affordable. Rent a game for $4 for 3 days. And for a dollar a day after that you can re rent for two days. This place is amazing. I can only hope that it weathers and stands 20 years from now.
