Good stuff sucks there were expensive owner takes Apple Pay and Zelle and I bought transformer auto bots for the ds Destroy all humans for the ps2 and halo 3 Glad I got and the transformers on the ds works on my 3ds the other 2 even tho one of them was sealed I didn't care if it was use or not sins I'm collecting the box sins my young selft gave throw it away and replaced with the cd Cases Recommend this place And I did see one 1 star review and that one guy is stupid like why called the worker whatever the time before they close and why did u go before they close you could have gone a few hours and you should be fine heck I don't have a Car and I took a Uber to get here at 4:48 pm and they close at 7 pm your a joke 7 days ago I made the post look up Update dec 11 2025 I just saw someone review recently for Luck and damn that's crazy. He wasn't like that when I talk to him From my experience when I entered the store, he was just busy looking at the computer. What I did to past the time was browse the games I did saw a couple that I wanted and pick up three of them at the time so when I was ready to pay, I asked the guy if he takes Apple Pay he said yes Then I asked him questions about the Nintendo 64 games for super smash Bros and super Mario 64 he said those are not real. Those are authentic, I told him the games I wanted for transformers, he was about to go to a different section that I didn't found it at so when I realize what he was doing I told him not there and then I showed him where I found it and then yeah so I'm not sure what's up with that Same thing for the 360s and the PlayStation 2 games until I showed them where it was. I guess it might. He has a bad memory of where it is. I'm not sure. I saw more of luck review and if it is true that he is not passion and that depress then yeah you're not wrong. Like what's the whole point of working there if your don't like gaming but when I first saw him and when I asked him the question, he didn't look depressed. He look normal Besides that him repeating for the games and asking if it's yours, that's crazy like one he probably doesn't see the price on the cover or two. He has a very bad memory. But damn, that's crazy way different from my experience when I went there for the first time I guess go on your own risk or don't go For me, the only reason I went here is because I was far away from home and I was gonna go to Ross and I want to look at the area they have any retro games around the area and I saw this location so like why not and headed at that location the price is iffy, but I mean for the games they had the box I can't complain And since he's not passionate for the games, I mean, I don't really care. I just want the games I grew up with and dip Ahh and the only reason I am re-editing my review is because I saw the notification of seeing 266 people from 5 days ago and 139 people seeing my review now witch is the first and never expected anyone reading my review Hope it's help read more

See all

Clean, smells good and staff extremely helpful and nice. Definitely coming back to get more stuff! read more

LA Video Games - Cards, video games and Pokémon cards - Video Game Stores Near Me - Los Angeles, California

They sold me the wrong battery intentionally I told them specifically had a Nintendo DS light spent $30 on two batteries and they turned out to be regular Nintendo DS. They will not refund me The money or exchange for the correct battery batteries. I don't recommend asking them for help in any way shape or form they're not aware of the difference in game systems even though they are called a video game. They are clearly unprofessional and their vendors sell broken items as well they do no inspect their games or games systems so please be aware it's best they shut down read more

Eric from LA vIdeo games was super awesome and helpful! They had exactly what I was looking for and I picked up a copy of Parappa the Rapper!! I enjoyed the store too it's pretty organized! Thanks again! Excited to play Parappa-been a hyperfixation haha! read more

Solid selection of games and retro consoles for good prices def would recommend to anyone looking to buy retro games or even newer titles for good prices! read more

I love the music and the customer service was awesome, I wish we had something like this in Michigan! Def coming back when I'm back!

STEER CLEAR. Vibes were off the second i stepped in the door. No lights on. Almost felt super awkward, like this guy decided I wasn't worth his time immediately. I had called prior about checking some games I wanted to sell. Whole time I tried to make small talk and just have a regular interaction felt like this guy was so annoyed. Sucks to see someone so clearly not passionate about the community / video games in general working at a store like this. Most of what he said was he doesn't have time to play anything. Just seemed super depressed the whole time. But fine I'll let him be I thought. Took 20 minutes to quote me. He then repeatedly asked me if these were my own games?? Then just wouldn't say anything after I answered. The whole thing was very odd. Any questions I had about displayed items were brushed off or ignored entirely. Like dude you work at a semi local video game store, not louis vuitton. the least you can do is be pleasant / pretend to be when someone wants to give you business in some capacity. Of course, this all ended off with a DISRESPECTFULLY low offer with the caveat it would more in store credit. For reference on pricing, I would highly recommend looking for anything you want to purchase here locally on a Facebook marketplace or offer up. Prices are very high. read more

Bought Pokémon blue and silver version cartridge at this store, supposedly they have different vendors who sell their items at the store in their own sections who only accept cash app or alternate payments specifically went through Daniel Aparico's section ($dannyphix-cashapp). I specifically asked the worker if they have new batteries inside the cartridge, worker assured me that yes they do and games fully function with no problems Well the blue version is corrupted and doesn't work for save files and seems to have a dead battery and crashes. Will never purchase from them again. Dishonest or just taking vendors word putting their business at risk. read more

After hearing all the fallout promo hype and seeing the celebs who frequented here I decided to give it a shot. I normally don't go to melrose for the shit parking but figured it deserved some love. When we went I was surprised to see the place was actually quite small with barely enough space with the cases for one person to walk and bend over to look at every case. While they do have a lot of things to look at and some I haven't seen everything was astronomically overpriced for the ones I have or found at other places. Because of this we left with nothing unfortunately but hopefully prices go down to match the market and I'd easily come back to peruse the aisles. read more

Way overpriced. I visited 5 retro video game stores in the Los Angeles area and this store's prices were exponentially higher than the others. When I inquired about pricing they initially said that their games were priced at "market value" which simply isn't true. When I pressed further, they admitted to taking in a bit of a "premium" on the sale but still doesn't explain why their prices are sky high. Their games are priced 2x-3x market value and they get away with it because they're in a trendy location. If you're like me and you love retro games and you're on the hunt to complete your collection, stay away from this store. They're ripping people off here and they're laughing all the way to the bank. Take your money elsewhere. They do keep the store nice and tidy, so they get one star for cleanliness. read more

Greta price, game selection and blast of nostalgia. Everything retro from NES to N64 to Sega to GameCube. Friendly staff and definitely recommended to any game lover read more

The service is good, but this store charges above the normal used retail price. They are very picky about accepting games for trade or store credit. Even when the video game that you offer is in good working condition and with no scratches, they will reject anything that isn't perfect like new or mint condition or not of their preference. Also they will give you 30%-40% of the game value, but they will sell it above market value under the excuse that is is at collectible level when in reality is just a normal good used game. If you are looking for normal video games at the normal prices, this is not the place to go to. I was expecting them to have a vast amount of games available that l was looking for but they are very limited in reality. They do have good collectible games, but it is up to you if you want to overpay them. read more

Great selection of cards, pins & neat overseas a guy fed animals. Many options for any collector out there!

This place is sick! My brother and I snagged a Wii and some games to breathe the nostalgia and we couldn't be happier. There's a ton of options for games and consoles. Shout out to Eric for being a great help for us! read more

honestly i wouldn't come here again. I called ahead of time to confirm if they bought pokemon cards, they said yes and to come in anytime before closing. i got here around 5:20/5:30pm. Gave the girl my cards and she said to give her 20/25 mins to go through them. I said sure take your time. at 5:42pm the owner or whatever says he can't go through the cards before closing because it's "it's too much" THERE IS NO ONE IN THE STORE LOL, i told him what do you check on because i checked on so and so and it said this much look. he then said " even then i wouldn't buy at cash id do store credit" mind you i CALLED BEFORE MAKING THE TRIP. i live probably 50 mins away on the bus. he told me to come back earlier next time but over the phone it was "come any time before closing". OVER PRICED ITEMS ANYWAY WACK SERVICE. he clearly didn't want to do the job and could have very easily said he's not looking to buy read more

Was in here a couple months ago with my son before he left to college and he fell in Love with some collector thing I don't understand. Eric was wonderful in helping me find the right product since I have no clue what I was talking about. He held the item for me cause I was freaked out it would sell and when I made it back to LA he had it aside for me. Fun little shop! I still have my NES and they had plenty of games to feed my nostalgia. AppreciateEric and all his help. read more
