This branch of Game is one of the many branches of the chain I have now visited which includes…read morestores all over the country from the likes of Wakefield, Oldham and Manchester. This branch is located in the intu Eldon Square Shopping mall and is classed as being located on Northumberland Street, in Newcastle city centre, when comparing this store to over city centre branches such as the larger and more modern branch in central Manchester, Manchester Arndale, this branch really does disappoint. I've found this store to be one of the busiest stores in the mall on a recent visit, and for the size of the store, it doesn't match that, the store is too narrow and it isn't a great size making it quite hard to browse the view of games. The store also seemed understaffed and the staff members working didn't seem too helpful. They did have live demo of PS4 and Xbox One consoles, which one would play on which was nice but the location of these on the narrow aisles, made them even harder to get down, it's bad enough asking an adult to move out of the way, but asking a kid to move when they are playing a game is probably nearly as hard as the work Jurgen Klopp would have to do, to win a trophy at Liverpool. I found the overall feel, size and selection of the store, as well as the staff to be really poor, sadly to warrant a single one star rating for this branch of Game in Newcastle city centre.

Game is THE place to visit for all your gaming needs. From PC all the way up to the new generation…read moreconsoles, you can find all the paraphernalia required here. This store sells a good selection of games that are new as well as pre-owned. Game also buys your old stuff and sells a handful of second-hand consoles, phones, laptops and tablets. You can find all your game cards here too which I see many purchasing as presents.There's also a small section of game guides and game related merchandise such as t-shirts and plushies. The store it's laid out very simply which makes it very easy to find what you need straight away. All games are in alphabetical order and in sections according to gaming console. The staff don't bother you but are happy to help if asked. Game always have a bundle deal on and has good pre-order deals on soon to be released games so definitely a place to check out.

They buy and sell…read morecomputer games for all consoles and the consoles that accompany them, the only exception being PCs and laptops. I have bought many new and second hand games from them and found them to be of the highest quality. I have also traded in games that I no longer wanted and got a very good price for them(maybe not as much as I could have got if I traded them on eBay). I have always found the staff very friendly and helpful.

They pounce as soon as your foot enters the doorfor God's sake let me get into the shop first and have a look around before you go into your ...and what sort of gaming are you interested in? routine. Believe it or not, some of us are actually capable of finding what we want without our hands being held every step of the way (figuratively speaking, naturally). They're just very keen, bless 'em :) give them half a chance and they'll rope you into a game. Prices seem to have risen horrifically since I used to go in there - and they were expensive then! Give them their due though, they keep up a constant flow of new stuff to buy.

It may have changed to a name of lesser quality but the stock is still decent. This shop sells mostly CD's and vinyl. There is also a selection of DVDs, T-shirts and tickets for local gigs can be purchased here. This place is well worth a browse on your lunch break. There are many hidden treasures to be found. Just think, Aladdins cave without the push and shove of heaving H.M.V. The prices are relatively similar though. The genres range from dub-step to black metal.
