*Searches for EB Games on Yelp Search* *Sees that no one…read moreelse reviewed it and I have to add it myself* ...Should I feel like a complete nerd? Maybe. But that's okay. Because it's part of a shopping centre, this particular EB Games isn't that large so I can't be a huge fan of it. However, it does have a decent selection for a lot of the "main games", so if you're looking for something a lot more popular, you can trust this place. PC Gaming: This place is NOT very good for PC Gaming. They have much more of a Xbox or PS3 selection. This is a bit disappointing because PC Gaming is the wave of the future - better graphics and in my opinion, much better control. It sucks that some game shops don't respect it. Essentially, if you're more of an Xbox gamer, this is the store for you. It's not that big, so it'll be good for bigger-named games. However, if you're more of a gaming fan go elsewhere.

This EB Games outlet is my favourite in Melbourne. I've never had a bad customer experience here,…read morewhich is weird because I have had bad experiences at pretty much every other outlet I have been to. Sometimes they can get busy, so you might have to wait a little bit by the registers to get served - but once that service comes, there is always a smile. Prices are not fantastic, and that is the same across the chain. That being said, they often have hard-to-find items, and the pick-up from an online order will generally fulfil any niche desire you might have.

The owner shows a strong effort to source and sell hard to get and popular games and have a constantly refreshing catalogue warranting multiple visits throughout the weeks and months. They also host game nights which allow many new players a chance to see games before committing to purchase or the experienced plays a new challenge.

However, upstairs there's a Nintendo level upstairs where there is both Nintendo merchandise and consoles. You can try various consoles or play with mates (or strangers!) and see older consuls as well. It's like a mini version of the Nintendo store in New York! There are items here I haven't seen in any other EB stores. There's also a huge range of Pop vinyls with lots of new items I haven't seen in any other toy stores, like Beca from Pitch Perfect. Love it!

The only thing to be aware of is new prices are high generally when shop is not having sale but used games can contain great deals. Better than other EB Game stores

This place is pretty much dedicated to all kinds of games, from board games to computer games…read more What I love is that while they have all the usual well known board games but they also stock heaps of games I've never heard of. I find it a great place to shop for my husband who is into games in a big way. It's great being able to buy something that I know he will love and actually use. Good Games also have an online store, though I don't think you can beat actually going into the store and browsing through the shelves.

The new place in Box Hill is larger with a lot more room for competition play which is always a…read moreplus. However in the heart of Box Hill parking becomes a nightmare (not to mention a lot of it is ticketed). However, if you're new to any aspect of these kind of games, they'll sure let you know it. For example, I'm a veteran MTG player, but never ordered single cards from there before. So when tell the guy I've got an order that just came in, asks what I ordered. I told him I could give him an order number (the order was quite large) so he replies, "what did you order". So I start to rattle off card for card what I ordered and he stops me and says, "So you have a singles order. That's what you had to say." A little help would've been nice instead of making me feel like a complete noob. Overall, store and contents great, staff and location, not so much.

I hadn't managed to get around to visiting a gaming shop for a while, so when one of my gaming…read moregroups decided to have a special event here I made a huge effort to come and check it out. Okay, I had been past here a couple of times, but had never had the desire, or the time, to pop in and have a look around. Anyway, like a lot of gaming shops, the focus these days tends to be Euro-games and card games, however they do have a small collection of roleplaying games, but the collection is somewhat smallish. However, they also have gaming rooms, and on top of the gaming events, they also have some special nights, including a caberet night, which I have to admit is pretty cool.

Not so much because I love playing them super…read moreoften (maybe by candlelight when there's been a blackout or on Christmas night), but I really love the aesthetic of them. Is that weird? Gatekeeper Games has every shape/form/fashion of board games. I popped in to make a VERY important purchase... Cards Against Humanity. I walked in and asked where I might find it, as essentially this store is like a library of games - you really do need a bit of direction. They immediately pointed it out to me and took me through the different editions of the game (Australian, American, British) and I quickly made a purchase. I was in and out in just a few minutes - that is efficient customer service! You will also find games including Warhammer, Star Wars Rebellion, Game of Thrones - everything you could imagine. Also, Gatekeeper Games also regularly holds gaming nights - so if you in the market to make new friends and play fun games, you now know where to head.

I might as well be announcing it to the world... YES. I PLAY MAGIC: THE GATHERING. As a devout planeswalker speaking to another (or maybe potential) planeswalker, if you're looking for Magic: The Gathering shops in the CBD, this is much better to the MTG Dungeon. ~ It's very largely spaced with plenty of tables to play on! ~ The staff have a great sense of humor in contrast to MTG Dungeon where the man, although he knows his stuff, can be a bit of a cock at times. In the 50 cent bin, the employees at Games Laboratory wrote "Maybe Black Lotus?!" on the side, which I found HILARIOUS! I mean... it's funny right? Because Black Lotus is incredible rare and expensive? Please humor me here... ~ They have a collection of the LEGENDARY cards on display. ALL the Moxes, Black Lotus... omg! I absolutely love it here and I would come back to fulfill more of my weird nerdy needs.

I wanted to buy a TV and called the store to see what they had in stock. Archie, who spoke to me,…read morewas so helpful. He advised me on a TV and how portable it was. I decided it was too big to pick up, so asked about delivery and installation. He explained all the options clearly and sent me a link to purchase it, talking me through the steps. They should pay him double - he was so courteous and helpful, and made it all so easy, and my new TV will be coming on Monday. I'll definitely use this store for future tech or appliance purchases.

There seems to be a trend with JB Hi-Fi because I experienced the same thing with their CDs when my case were completely scratched up. Service: The employees were kind and helpful, but it's also a bit confusing because they don't have a set uniform. This one guy came up to me and said hello and I thought he was hitting on me (or maybe I just have an overblown ego) and so I awkwardly said hi. He then went over to man the cash register. This guy was in a sweatshirt and jeans. I guess I was supposed to tell he was an employee from the nametag dangling out of his pocket? Overall, the store has okay prices, but honestly they aren't amazing low to the point where you can give up the quality of the product as well. --- Also, JB Hi-Fi has several branches, all in a row but selling different things (with some overlap). Why can't you just combine it into one super-store, especially when they're all next to each other?
