Shiva is a little shop which sells vibrantly coloured and gorgeously designed Indian clothing,…read morefabrics and haberdashery, costume jewellery and, quite randomly, a small selection of videos and games. If you are looking for some Indian style clothing or gorgeously colouful material then you would benefit from a visit here. The jewellery is not something I would wear but great if you are looking for something loud and glitzy. I am really into Aladdin pants and hope to come back here when it's a bit warmer to purchase some. I'll let you know how I get on.

Not sure about this place as a video game and film rental place, but I do know it as an off…read morelicense. It flogs all the normal stuff. I don't mean it flogs normal stuff in the sense of giving normal things a good flogging, beating and pummeling, but rather it flogs normal stuff in the sense of selling and vending it. Oh you already knew what I meant? Sorry. Anyway it sells chocolates, soft drinks, newspapers and ice creams. Woo!

I don't know why they say that this place has got something to do with video games because all one…read morecan see is just the ample amount of alcohol stocked in here. It's a fairly known off license shop which is frequented by many in Rusholme area who're probably put off by Spar's pricey-ness. It does soft drinks, chocolates and crisps/ice creams, even newspapers quite like a newsagent in that respect.

I'm stood on Cardigan Road ready to get some bits and bobs of food shopping on a Saturday. Straight…read moreahead I see Village video and the Co-operative supermarket. With the co-op hoarded with students, queues and empty shelves sometime I just cannot face it! Therefore small family run groceries and DVD rental store Village Video is a much more relaxed option. The shop is small and full of the essential at reasonable cheap prices. In addition to food basics the shop sells very cheap wine and beer as well as a variety of sweets (perfect when renting a DVD). In contrast to the low cost food goodies, Village Video's film rental costs are quite pricey. At £3-£4 pound a pop the corner shop is charging more than the local blockbusters. Despite the library being fairly large it cannot compare to the new releases chain rental companies have to offer. In addition to this, DVDs are costing less and less in the shop, making it cheaper to go and buy a film you want to see rather than rent! Despite rental costs Village shop is a nice break from the hustle and bustle of the masses of shoppes in the Co-Op next door! Village video's has a nice family feel and friendly staff. It does the job if you need you change, however the prices do not compare to those offered by larger chains.

They stock things for the wii, playstation, gameboys, x box and many others. The stores can get quite busy and crowded because they are quite small.

The selection is usually very good and Game seems to keep the stock coming in regularly so that you aren't waiting too long for items that are out of stock. I recommend getting game card especially when trading in games. I was able to purchase 2 Xbox 360 games from my reward points.
