I was really excited about visiting the store after seeing the YouTuber PhoenixResale highlight it…read morein his Texas game stores video. When I came into the store I wasn't welcomed in by anyone which didn't set a friendly precedent. I couldn't distinguish between the customers and the employees that worked there. I think they should wear a color coded shirt and name tag to help distinguish them from everyone else. I started asking different questions to the employee at the front desk, but he seemed always bothered every time I approached. Looked like a new guy. He said he hadn't been there for very long. Doesn't seem like he wants to be there. Maybe he was having a bad day? He seemed to be in physical pain or something from my impression. The one old guy with the long beard was super nice and helpful. The girl working there didn't seem to be doing anything but standing around. Just felt awkward. I got asked way too many times by the guy at the front desk if I needed help finding anything, one time is enough, I don't need to be bothered five times. Doesn't help make a customer feel welcome. Maybe a short friendly conversation about a game they enjoy or are looking for will be more encouraging and welcoming to the customer. Disclaimer: This part of my review about Culture Shock isn't a knock against GameBros, but wanted to leave this bit in my review since the stores are combined it was part of my impressions. I browsed around and could see that the store floor was mixed with Culture Shock. They had way too many funco pops. I know some people are really into that, but literally every customer that walked in was totally disinterested including myself and would go straight for the games or other toys and figures in the back. Pretty big waste of space for items that will hardly be sold. Back to Gamebros, they had a really neat display of some rare video games, but so many of them were ridiculously overpriced. I just don't see any average person coming in to buy that stuff. Why even have it on display if nobody plans on buying it? I tried looking for some PS1 and PS2 games, but unfortunately couldn't find any I was looking for. I guess high demand games like Crash Bandicoot 3, Crash Bash and Ratchet and Clank games get sold really fast. I found some N64 games and Super Nintendo games. The N64 ones seemed to be fairly priced, some of the N64 and Super Nintendo ones were way overpriced though probably due to high demand and popularity. I definitely would not pay those prices and most other customers would feel the same. Prices for the original Xbox and Wii games were great, as well as the PS3. Overall, I give the store a 6/10. A more welcoming atmosphere and friendly positive customer service from the employees will encourage people to come back. I ended up spending around $100, so they got some of my business. I don't think I'll be back anytime soon though.

They're a bit more expensive than GameStop and Game X Change. Today, I came in to see if they had any N64 consoles. I walked into the store and there was an employee sitting behind the counter that didn't acknowledge my existence. After getting lost in mountains of funko pop figures, I finally walked up and asked if they had any N64 systems and he looked up from his phone long enough to say "no" before going back about his business. With this type of customer service, it's amazing that this store stays open. I definitely won't be back.

My daughter and I always head over to Play on The Strand with our pockets full of quarters. We head straight to the back and hit up the arcade. They've got some pinball machines back there along with a couple of arcade games. We fill their machines up with quarters then check out all the cool toys they have. They have a lot of cool toys in there and my daughter seems to always sucker me into buying her something when we leave. I always enjoy supporting small businesses here in Galveston, and their toys are of good quality. I highly recommend a visit to anyone who visits The Strand. Grab you a pocket full of quarters and stop by. Enjoy.

Keep in mind- this decision occured at 5 pm and we were 25 miles away from Huston. My brother and I were dye hard skaters back in the days- 1990's and now my son who is 15 yrs does it. I must say- after being in traffic for a long time- it was worth every gallon and the constant stop and go traffic. Once we arrived- the shop was open and two employees were present. Immediately we were welcomed and we began talking "skate or die" lingo. The two fellas were cool as hell and informative with educating my son. The gear purchased : We ended up buying Thunder Bushings 97, Thunder Bushings 90, Southside Slabs Hardware, Bones Big Balls Reds Bearings, Spitfire Wheels F4 Conical and Stickers! This place was FREASH and Cool!
