Not a bad selection of new and pre-owned games for quite a small store. We dropped in on a Saturday though, and the staff were definitely struggling to keep up with the Saturday rush so perhaps they're a bit understaffed. However, they were doing their best, staying cheerful and they apologised for our wait - I can't really blame them that their store is busy.
It definitely feels busier in part due to the layout. I guess because it's quite a small plot the aisles are really narrow so that they can fit lots of stock in and I honestly don't know if there is a better option other than moving to a location with more room. Given the way people shop for games (slowly browsing titles, either looking for something specific or just for any good deals) once you have four or five people in the store it can be quite tricky to navigate without fear of knocking things over.
As with most branches of Game they have new and pre-owned games available for the major consoles and PC as well as accessories and peripherals, a little miscelaneous merchandise, some DVDs and blu-rays and pre-owned items like smartphones and tablets, as well as the consoles themselves and gift cards. Points can be earned on the free loyalty card (or app) and then put towards future purchases.
I really like the 3 for 2 offer on pre-owned games because I find it hard to justify playing full price for new releases. If you can get something that was released a couple of years ago (and that hence has plenty of full reviews for you to read online) for only ~£5 that seems like a pretty good deal, even more so with the 3 for 2 offer. Plus they give you a guarantee that it will work for a year, which is the same as a new game anyway.
I wish the store were slightly larger, but otherwise it's a decent place to stop for almost all your gaming needs. read more
