This review is also posted on Google…read more I came in during Gamestop's last day of their B2G1 free pre-owned games/accessories/systems promotional period. I was only looking for Nintendo Switch games (Skyrim, Xenoblade Chronicles 2, and Disgaea 5) so I went online and called some stores to see if I could take advantage of the offer. I couldn't find those games without bouncing around stores within a 30 mile radius. Before I prepared myself to go through this dumb endeavor, I decided to stop by the Lodi Gamers store and see if they had the three games I was looking for. It turns out they did. The store did not advertise any similar promotions so I expected (what I assume to be) the store manager to say that they wouldn't do it. But he did. He rang up all three games and discounted one of them by 100%. I saved a couple more dollars because their pre-owned pricing is a bit cheaper than Gamestops. I said it a couple times at the store but I want to say again: I wholly appreciate your help. Needless to say, Lodi Gamers surpassed my expectations with their friendliness and customer service. Five stars.

*My son and I love this GameStop*…read more This location my son and I come here at least once a month. Just to check things out and look at some games we both want. My Son is mainly into sports games,* FPS *First Person Shooter, *Rpg's* Role Playing Games and Fighting games (Street Fighter) . I pretty much enjoy the same games as my son. But I also love action type games *Devil May Cry* and Survival horror *Resident Evil* GameStop has the games that we're both interested. So yeah we're gamers alright. Just like any other GameStop. They sell Xbox 360 and ONE games. PS3 and Ps4 games and Wii and Wii-U games. Along with the handheld games. They do carry some Pc games but not a lot. GameStop also has a giant selection of used videogames. I didn't use to buy them in years past. But I love buying them when they offer the buy 2 get one free. Another thing is cool, if you pay $15 for a year. You get a year 12 issues of Game Informer along with a discount card that saves you like 15% off used games. The staff is always amazing here. Rudy the store Manager is a cool guy and Saleen a cashier is super nice and friendly. I was helped by Louis today and he has good customer service skills. Also a few more cool employees but I can't think of their names right now. So yes, we'll be definitely be coming back soon. Vincent D *VD* Enjoying the simple things in life

This time we visit Retroactive because I was in search for some games for my Nintendo DS lite. I found 2 games and I was so happy. The price was reasonable and i love it. We also speak with the owner and he was so nice and helpful. We were talking about games and we notice that he really loves what he is doting his store. We really recommend this store. I am so glad that we have this store near to our home. You can also find vintage vinyl records, PlayStations games, Xbox games and more. We enjoy our time and our kids were so happy.

1-Up Retro Video Games…read more My girl and I randomly stumbled across this place while we were just walking around, and as soon as I saw the sign, I told myself, I have to go in here! I grew up playing video games, and I still play here and there, so I already knew this place was going to be pure nostalgia for me and it definitely was. I was a kid in a candy story and totally geeking out! Walking around the store brought back so many childhood memories. They had games I honestly haven't seen in over 30 years, along with all kinds of consoles and games from different generations. Some of these games I probably would never play again, but just seeing them on the shelves took me back. It was cool seeing the old-school Nintendo video game magazines. Some of those magazines have to be close to 30 years old! The entire store was basically one big nostalgia trip. I didn't end up buying anything, but I still enjoyed just walking around and checking everything out. If you grew up gaming or have played on different systems over the past 40 years, this is definitely a place worth checking out.

Today is the 2nd time I have been here & the employees who helped me are very professional, helpful, and courteous. If you were selling anything here they are meticulous however they do pay more than other places. Example: I sold some fighting PS2 games here and was paid about $5 each game where as places like The Cave would have paid $1. This place is a gamer's paradise plus holy Grail for the hard to find game(s) *see picture of a PS2 game in my review. I definitely would recommend all gamers or just anybody shopping or selling to try this place first before going anywhere else especially places like GameStop.

CHICANO RESEARCH CENTER…read more When I first walked into CRC my jaw dropped I couldn't process everything I was seeing. So many books to do with my culture so many colorful books waiting to be explored wanting to be read by young and wise hands. I was welcomed with such a wonderful sight. fond and old memories started finding their way back to the surface and I could recall my first visit to the elementary library discovering words and pages for the first time. Shelves upon shelves stacked with knowledge to be rediscovered. Small and cozy. You'll have to search for it and like all good things its a hard find. But so worth it. Didn't know stockton held such Gem within its city. Mr Soto has an Awesome variety of Chicano/Mexican culture books from the pre-hispanic era to the Chicano movement and much much more!! A very knowledgeable man patient and willing to sit with you and share his life experiences. I truly was blessed to have spent 4 hours sharing stories, ideas and books with Mr Soto. Sad to leave but happy to come back for more books! And yes I got a membership so now I can take home and read all the books I want! Except for Mr Soto's collection those you'd have to read in the center!

Alan is incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about comics. He even went out of his way to help me get my pull list set up through the Comic Geeks app, and my books were ready and waiting when I came in. Their selection is excellent, especially if you're looking for older issues in great condition. They also carry trading cards, toys, collectibles, and plenty of other cool items. If you're looking for a friendly local comic shop with great customer service, this place is absolutely worth checking out.

So I call the store and inform him And drive another 30 minutes, He trouble shoots it and makes It work, the game I bought was dirty and after cleaning it, it worked beautify! I remained polite but asked him why he assured me its all tested before he sells it. He felt bad so threw in a free controller and half off a game for me... Which was more then enough, Life happens and they handled it extremely well.. I will continue to buy my user retro games here, Since Best Buy has the best deals on new ones Plus they price match, But long story short I've compared prices and they are very fair And take care of their customers, and always remember, the more you buy, the more room people have to discount..
