I attended a League Cup as a player on December 7th, 2025. During one of the rounds, I witnessed…read morethe following incident between two players, I will refer to here as Player 1 and Player 2. Player 1, who was new to completive play, shuffled his deck after a deck search, but did not offer it to Player to for a cut before drawing from a card effect. Player 2 called a judge after this happened. After reviewing the situation, the judge issued Player 1 a warning for failing to present the deck for a cut. Following this ruling, Player 2 became visibly upset and began using profanity and getting very angry, where I was feeling unsafe. Player 1 attempting to deescalate the situation responded, "you don't have to rule shark me over it." Player 2 then escalated the situation by saying, " meet me outside and see what F***ing happens" along with other curses and violent threats. The head judge, Alan, attempted to disqualify both players, despite Player 1 being the target of the threats. Player 2 left the venue. Player 1 stated he would contact the police regarding the threats if he was disqualified, the judges allowed Player 1 to stay and finish the tournament, where he placed second. During the tournament, Judge Alan proceeded to act unprofessionally towards Player 1, and threw prize packs aggressively at him at the end of the rounds. After the event concluded, the judges informed Player 1 that he was banned from future tournaments at that store. Based on what I witnessed, and as an active member in the community and pokemon professor, I believe this decision was unfair, as Player 1 did not instigate the confrontation and was subjected to direct threats from Player 2. This store and the judges have a very bad reputation in the area, being unfair to new players and unsafe for women to play. The judges have also made fun of the community calling them "autistics". I strongly believe that they should not be in good standings with the Pokemon Play Community and should not be a sanctioned store.

This gaming store is located on Main Street in downtown East Stroudsberg. With Spider-Man and a…read moresmiling Pikachu beckoning from the main window display, it's hard not to walk in and check it out. Inside the store, the first area to greet you is board games, with options for different game styles and interests available. Pretty ok selection for reasonable prices. Towards the middle of the store is the cash register area on the right with collectors' "weapons" displays overhead for safe keeping and display. To the left is a section with American DC/Marvel comics and a small shelf of manga. Further back is a smaller, more specific modeling and other comic related section, followed by open tables in the back for Magic and other card games. Terrific idea to incorporate tables for player interaction and provide a space for gamers to enjoy games in person. In the very back is an e-sports area with consoles and computers set up. When I visited, these weren't in use, but good idea for non-covid times. I also noticed signs posted up for special game nights on certain days a week, for example one sign listed a Pokémon weekly game night. Covid-related: staff wore masks as did most of the patrons. There is a sign on the door requesting customers to wear face coverings. There did not seem to be a limit on # of people in the store, and when I was there on a Saturday early afternoon there was probably around 10 people in the front section of the store and about a dozen seated in the game-play area in the back.

Excited at first but than highly disappointed, I purchased a things from the video game store…read more Unfortunately one of the games did not work at all, I have video proof of trying it the day after purchase. They said in order to return it I would need my receipt. When I was there I specifically asked the employee if it had any issues would returning it be a problem and he guaranteed the games should work. Lost the receipt and now stuck with a faulty game! Would still buy here but with extreme caution as it is one of the few if only retro game stores in the area. Person on the phone I felt was pretty rude, I didn't want a refund just an exchange and he gave me the usual you need the receipt run around and didn't even bother to hear me out! As a supervisor that wasn't exceptional or even remotely close to good customer service.

Nothing about this store is fancy, but it is full of extremely affordable and clean DVD's. Not a large store but has significant stock, enough to keep you looking for a while. They also carried a decent stock of various later generation video games. Employee was very honest about prices and stock. He was also helpful in locating potentially interesting DVD's. The day we shopped they were running a weekend sale, with the majority of DVD's being $1, counter stock $2, and others behind the counter being more as they were specialty/more recent/popular movies. Very much worth the stop, make sure to budget extra time if you like exploring. One of the cleanest and most organized DVD stores I've seen in Pennsylvania.

The Game Gallery has again moved, and this new location remains in downtown Easton, but is on…read moreCentre Square. Parking is on the street or in a local garage. As a video game store, is pretty impressive with a large stock and improved organization. A continuing issue remains that prices are not clearly marked on some items, but during this visit I found more items with prices than before. Rare items are kept behind the counter and one of the more interesting aspects of The Game Gallery is they get some odd items, so it's always worth a look. One of the big changes that occurred because of this move was the return of the arcade! The arcade is located in the back and is a mix of arcade cabinets, pinball machines, and Japanese style cabinets. This is also a quarter arcade, so no play card is needed. As of this review, the arcade however is a mess. During my visit, many of the arcade cabinets were not powered on or experiencing issues. If these machines were active, this would be one of the best arcades in the Lehigh Valley. Several of the pinball machines I attempted to play had issues, with others also not turned on. The Japanese style cabinets all appeared to be functional. The machines I did play, however, seemed to have difficulty levels set to high. The overall arcade was very disappointing despite so much potential. According to online reviews which staff have made comments on, due to electrical issues not all the machines can be turned on. You apparently can ask for the machines to be turned on, but this would require enough staffing, which this store has problems with. If there was signage in the store mentioning these electrical issues, I did not see it. If The Game Gallery had everything priced and the arcade fully working, it would be one the best video game stores and arcades in the Lehigh Valley. I can't see myself returning here again for some time, if at all, and I'm disappointed by my experience.

The Portal Comics and Gaming is not a shop I usually stop at when in the Lehigh Valley due to its…read morelocation being closer to Bethlehem, but for certain people this shop will be valuable. It shares the building with other business including a CVS, and parking is shared with their lots or on the street. This is a light comic book shop with limited selection, to the point if they dropped comics from there name, I don't think anyone would notice. Handful of wall books and mostly modern books in their short boxes. Graphic novel selection was better than average with several shelves. Portal primarily focuses on gaming, with them having a large board gaming selection. Other gaming items are located around the shop, including various Warhammer items and paint for gaming items. Gaming space is located in the back of the shop, in a separate room from the merchandise. Overall, if you are looking for gaming items, The Portal should meet your needs. I would do my comic shopping at other shops in the Lehigh Valley, however.

They have been around for 20 years now, but they have really fallen since their prime years. What used to be a fun place with stocked shelves has turned into a skeleton of its former self. May empty shelves with little to no restock other than board games. Their D&D is almost nonexistent, their Warhammer barely there, and comics are laughable. They are always out of stock of MTG boxes so don't try unless you pre order. Seems like they only focus on selling on TCG. Even their webstore is empty, almost every item on their is listed as out of stock. Its actually depressing walking in there now. The employees are awkard and stare at you like you have three heads. I remember years ago there were 4 co-owners and there was always 1 or 2 of them there, I believe their names were Brian and Andy. They were always friendly and would often Join in for a game of MTG or Heroclix if no one else was around. There are now multiple shops around with better service and stock. I recommend skipping this store and trying one of the other Lehigh Valley Stores

It DOES NOT cost that much to send under 1 lb., at most $7-$8 but they do not provide any other option for shipping other than 2-day priority so I placed my order as my 6yr old son really wanted these Amiibos for his kindergarten graduation gift. I placed my order on a Tuesday evening & did not receive it until Saturday. That does NOT reflect 2-day priority. So I got gouged with outrageous shipping charges just to have it shipped late!!! When I addressed my concerns to the business they simply stated that they do not guarantee shipping & responded very unprofessionally. They clearly are in the business of ripping off consumers & DO NOT care about customer retention. As a former business owner, DO NOT OVERCHARGE your customers for shipping, be ethical & give the customer exactly what they paid for! You just lost me as a customer.

Selection in the overall store is what I would call average, with a decent selection of various games. Console selection seemed limited. DVD/Blu-ray stock was decent and cheap, but perhaps a bit lacking. Where I think Game Station stands out is the selection of in box games, which can be difficult to find but were not cheap. They also had a reasonable selection of games for rarer systems like the Sega CD. Overall, if you are a local, Game Station is probably not a bad store to stop in and check out. I'm not sure I'd travel out of my way to check out the selection.
