This is a little gem. Although it is a games shop where you can buy playstation and various other…read moregames it is also a great place for a birthday party. I have an 8 year old who wanted a party there. Basically for £15 a head you get 10 children maximum that take over the shop - they shut the shop for this two hour period and you get to play on all the playstations, wii, xbox, etc and then there is a fun football challenge at the end with a prize for the over all winner. You get sausage and chips or something similar from the chip shop next door and the kids love it. The man who owns the shop is lovely and the guys he has working there are really helpful. The kids had a great time and that is the main thing.

DO NOT EVER TAKE YOUR COMPUTER TO THIS SHOP FOR FIXING!!!…read more I took my sons computer for the HDMI port to be fixed. I was told on the phone that it would take two days and very straight forward. when I dropped it off it soon became known to me that he takes them to someone else to fix. This took a week unlike told on the phone two days. I collected it after a week and took it home. The HDMI was fixed, however it was now not playing discs as it had been the night before, I took it back to the shop. Richard would not take responsibility and even accused my son of not telling me it was originally broke. I had seen my son with my own eyes playing and he had received a trophy on the game the night before. Richard tried to say that you can play without a disk (anyone with a brain would know this is not possible because the game was not downloaded on the console). Due to me being female he tried to tell me that it is possible to play a game without the disc! Richard refused to fix the problem he had made and said I had to pay another £50 for it to be fixed. In total this cost me £125 for taking the console to this CON-ARTIST!!! When I got this home tonight my son noticed there have been three games used on his computer that he does not own! Richard was very rude on the phone and even tried to accuse my partner of being racist on the phone to him, unknown to him my partner is the same race and when i pointed this out he went very quiet. I have now found a reliable man who will fix your HDMI port for less money, less stress and guarantee not breaking it anymore. I just wish i had known about him before. He is situated at Mayplace, called Mathew and his contact number is 01322 522267. I would not recommend this man or shop for anything as he is capable of stealing parts from you console or using it in his shop while you think it is still being repaired. I have reported this to trading standards who are looking into this matter. please report to them if you have had similar experiences. I have since heard that this man does not have a good reputation and is known for never being open or returning calls. I would be very aware if you book a party and have to hand over a deposit. In case he is just not there on the day and your child like mine is left disappointed!!!

They seem to do a good trade in second-hand consoles and some of the rarer, collectible stuff and sell lots of Japanese imports. If the shop isn't too busy, they'll happily plug in a game for you to try, or just let you have a go on whatever they've been playing when they didn't have customers. The owner has been trading games in Cambridge for as long as I can remember, must be 15 or 20 years now. Customer service is very good, if you do buy a second-hand game which doesn't work properly, they refund or replace with no fuss at all.

Although this is the smaller of the two GAME branches in Colchester, this store is just as well…read morestocked as its bigger brother, with a huge selection of new and used games. Games are clearly organised by console and are usually sorted by title. However, the store is somewhat small and the queue to purchase games can get very long at weekends. Also, unlike the nearby branch of Gamestation, GAME does not stock retro games, except the odd Gamecube or Xbox title in the bargain bin. Therefore, I am reluctant to praise GAME too highly, giving it three out of a possible five stars.

My wife accidentally dropped her iPhone 7, smashing the screen. Went to Unique to get it replaced,…read morethis was done in about 30 minutes costing £75. We got the phone home then about 2 hours later it starts jittering and refusing to properly function. I took the phone back to Unique the following day and explained the situation, the response was that Apple added a code in to their iOS that effectively stops third party screens working properly with their phone and it has to be replaced with an official Apple digitiser. Why he didn't explain this BEFORE we got the screen repaired, I'm entirely sure. I then had a 30 minute conversation with the owner saying that he needed to fix what he'd done as he should have made us aware before taking our money, we had to have the broken screen fitted and the money was reluctantly handed back as if nothing happened. Apparently, he 'didn't need our crap money anyway' Despite this, the battery is now showing signs of wear - I'm about to give this man a second chance, will edit after it is fixed TL;DR - solution not found, rude owner.
