I could have spent an hour in here. There were items I haven't seen since my teens and even though I don't currently own a ZX Spectrum I still bought a couple of games to display. 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

Store workers stank of weed, and their attitude stank even worse. Woman at the front desk…read morepractically SLAMMED the receipt onto the table. 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.
