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.

Really nice owner and enjoyed chatting with her. Glad to see they've found a suitable new home and I encourage anyone over the age of 40 to spend some of your hard earned cash in here

Not only that, but the other staff were incompetent and clearly had no idea what they were talking about. Took them almost 10 minutes to figure out the details of two RAM sticks i wanted to trade in. Eventually the man hands back the RAM and refuses to take it in, as he 'couldn't find out what type it was'. Only redeeming quality of this place is that their items are cheap & reliable. Here's a picture of these mystery RAM sticks. Can you spot it? Are you smarter than a CeX employee? https://i.imgur.com/upLkuRq.jpeg

There are a lot of gaming stores in Birmingham and I think that it is always nice to stumble across…read morean independently owned one as the chains seem to be taking over! This store stocks a lot of games, dvds and pre-owned merchandise too and I think that they are all at affordable prices. I like this store because I am bound to find something that I like, which is in good condition and is at a reasonable price. The staff here are nice and helpful, they seem to know what stock they have in as I have often asked for particular games or dvds and they have always been able to tell me what they have available in the store. I think that this is quite handy as it saves me looking around for hour. Overall, I think this is a good little game store and recommend it to those in the local area.

The imaginatively named Console Games sells exactly what you'd expect; console video games…read more Surprising that, isn't it? After the recent demise of huge multinational chain Game, it's really nice to see that a local, independent video game store is still able to keep going strong, even with a not exactly optimum location. Having essentially a monopoly on video game selling in the area, Console Games could have been a real dive, something like someone born prior to the birth of video games probably imagines when they think of gamers congregating in one location. However, an impressive , life size figure in the window shows that Console Games are concerned with their appearance and want to put across that they're specialists in the area. Stocking a large number of second hand games, their prices are more than competitive; although I'm somewhat out of the loop when it comes to prices, I saw one Nintendo DS game selling for £5 that I'd seen in a (now-closed) Game store a couple of months ago going for triple that (also second hand). My one issue with Console Games is that, despite having good prices and, in addition to the games, an impressive library of pre-owned DVDs, none of them were in alphabetical order, meaning any potential bargains were virtually impossible to sniff out. Still, if you've got some time to kill, I'd recommend Console Games for trying to find a gem on the cheap.

I find a lot of coffee places just don't really want you stay and they have hard, uncomfy furniture to reflect that. But not here! This place often has events that extend its opening hours, too. My favourite is the 'big comfy folk club' which are folk and acoustic sessions hosted on the 1st and 3rd Friday of the month. Next one is on 4th March and tickets are only a fiver! Brilliant intimate venue, and the performers usually stick around for a while afterwards which is nice (: OH ALSO, WINE! The big comfy book shop serves alcohol! Live music + book shop + cake + red wine = total winner. See you on the 4th!

I really like The Big Comfy Bookshop!…read more It is a quant used book shop that is family owned. The owner spent over a year compiling books to open his shop, and ever since has kept a good variety of books that are unique to customers, or a popular search result of a used book. There is always fresh coffee, tea options, beer and wine, and some sort of snacks like crisps or cake for sale. Seating is available to hang out with friends for a little while or to start tucking into your future purchase. Also I noticed that live folk music nights and game nights regularly occur here too! Great place!
