Is this the 90s, or is that just a NES I see in the window?…read more It is in fact still 2010, but Gamesmasters have managed to acquire a NES in pristine condition. Haven't seen one of those since I was five, and since retro gaming has come back in a major way, some priveleged person will make good use of this machine. Gamesmasters really was like going back to gaming stores of the 90s. It has some of the most obscure offerings from PS1, SNES, Sega Saturn and the N64 to name but a few, all for around a fiver. It had the biggest collection of old rarities I've seen since they were the cutting edge technology. Some of the SNES games were still in their boxes, not looking 20+ years old in the least. I used to be a big gamer back in the days where I was a quiet, reserved young lady, but I've got to admit I haven't moved with the times. Places like this really excite me because I get nostalgic and they appeal to the platform, 2D level of gaming I'm still stuck at. But for people who have moved on to those new fangled Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed type dealios, they also have a lot of reaosnably priced second hand copies for the PS3, XBox and Wii. Absolutely rammed with games from the past 3 dacadees, this place is immensely resourceful, cheap and packed full of rare finds. I will be going back for Castlevania 2 and might get my beau to train me on the joys of those PS3 crazy games. Amazing!

Whilst many commentators will slag off Leith Walk due to the amount of drug addicts, thieves and…read morenon-university educated people about, I actually quite like it. It's good to see a thriving, bustling working class area still keep it's identity and avoid becoming either a gentrified shadow of it's former self or a boarded-up ghost town. And it's only on streets like this that Games Master could exist. Compared to the shockingly low trade-in prices you'll get offered at the big stores, you can come out of here with some of the best geekery related bargains in town if you're lucky. Still no import games though, which is a shiter.

Firstly, let me explain what this place is. You walk in and see a lovely little café, with cakes…read moreetc and tables looking out. Then behind that are grown men and children meticulously painting war tanks, soldiers and other battle figurines. Say what? Yes, this is the place where you can get your warhammer on. Next to the 'war tables' (Is it clear yet that I don't play?) is the shop section where you can buy the paint and more soldiers, trees, cannons, etc. Now, what was I doing here again? Oh yes, the coffee is VERY GOOD and SUPER CHEAP! This is by far the nicest cheapest coffee you're going to get in Edinburgh. And the cakes are great and cheap too. After finishing our coffee, me and my boyfriend had a peruse through the shop bit, looking for the lost boardgame (we do love boardgames), but alas, it was all wargames and related type stuff! You might now think, why is she adding and reviewing this place?... it was some really great coffee guys!! And what's more, the atmosphere in the place seemed amazing, so I would recommend this to all my friends who play warhammer or are interested in starting it.

Ever since my local Asda did away with the video game section to make way for Kids DVDS, I have…read morebeen coming to Fort Kinnaird all the way from Dunbar just to get my hands on video games. While it is slightly annoying having to travel 26 miles to buy a video game, a positive is that Fort Kinnaird is massive and I will be able to mooch around the other shops afterwards. This store in particular is one of my favourite Games as it is always well stocked with Nintendo, XBOX and Playstation games, as well as a small range of novelty clothing for those diehards out there. They also stock Yu Gi Oh and Pokémon cards too if you prefer to play cards with your mates and not stare at a screen with your mates. The staff are helpful and are very smart, seeming to know a lot about the games on sale. Except on one occasion I enquired about the Wii U and was left alone for ages while the person went into the back room to ask about it, never coming back. I am excited for the release of the new Pokémon games and I will probably be the first person in line for when the store opens on November 23rd! xD But anyway, Game is a good shop for those video game nerds among us and I hope it never leaves its post here at Fort Kinnaird.
