This branch of Game is one of the many branches of the chain I have now visited which includes…read morestores all over the country from the likes of Wakefield, Oldham and Manchester. This branch is located in the intu Eldon Square Shopping mall and is classed as being located on Northumberland Street, in Newcastle city centre, when comparing this store to over city centre branches such as the larger and more modern branch in central Manchester, Manchester Arndale, this branch really does disappoint. I've found this store to be one of the busiest stores in the mall on a recent visit, and for the size of the store, it doesn't match that, the store is too narrow and it isn't a great size making it quite hard to browse the view of games. The store also seemed understaffed and the staff members working didn't seem too helpful. They did have live demo of PS4 and Xbox One consoles, which one would play on which was nice but the location of these on the narrow aisles, made them even harder to get down, it's bad enough asking an adult to move out of the way, but asking a kid to move when they are playing a game is probably nearly as hard as the work Jurgen Klopp would have to do, to win a trophy at Liverpool. I found the overall feel, size and selection of the store, as well as the staff to be really poor, sadly to warrant a single one star rating for this branch of Game in Newcastle city centre.

This store sells a good selection of games that are new as well as pre-owned. Game also buys your old stuff and sells a handful of second-hand consoles, phones, laptops and tablets. You can find all your game cards here too which I see many purchasing as presents.There's also a small section of game guides and game related merchandise such as t-shirts and plushies. The store it's laid out very simply which makes it very easy to find what you need straight away. All games are in alphabetical order and in sections according to gaming console. The staff don't bother you but are happy to help if asked. Game always have a bundle deal on and has good pre-order deals on soon to be released games so definitely a place to check out.

I have bought many new and second hand games from them and found them to be of the highest quality. I have also traded in games that I no longer wanted and got a very good price for them(maybe not as much as I could have got if I traded them on eBay). I have always found the staff very friendly and helpful.

This branch of WHSmith is the most reviewed branch in Newcastle city centre of WHSmith with an…read moreimpressive 12 reviews on Yelp, including those merged across from Qype. It is probably the largest store I saw on my recent trip to the Tyne and Wear Region of WHSmith, which included branches in Newcastle Central Railway Station, Durham and the Gateshead Metrocentre. This branch was my favourite out of the ones mentioned mainly down to the size, it had a good product range for items such as lever arch folders, drinks and snacks etc. The drink selection was good however I found the 2 for £2.50 promotion to be a tad expensive, considering Superdrug nearby runs a promotion to have 2 for £2, which works out £1.80 with my Unidays Discount however sadly the range they have is much poorer than the WHSmith branch, when comparing the branch nearby to this one. There also is a huge staircase in the store, with the upper floor having some more WHSmith floor space as I recall and a post office. The staff member working seemed friendly enough, although I did have to take longer checking out my items as for some reason the self-service tills wouldn't recognise the 2 for £2.50 offer on my drinks, meaning it would take longer as I had to go to the manned checkout, then I had to go through the slightly longer process of finding my card after being told they don't accept Apple Pay by an employee, only to go on to find out they did accept it and the member of staff who served me didn't know about it. This is a large, decent branch of WHSmith, staff training on payment methods, machines recognising offers and pricing needs to be worked off at paramount importance, but until then this is still a decent store and a nice branch of the chain to warrant a three-star rating.

WHSmith is one of those shops that makes you feel really depressed as soon as you walk through the…read moredoors. This store in particular is very grotty and every visit to it so far has left me feeling deflated. The blue fluorescent lighting makes the shop horrible and dingy and the staff look like they are working in a prison. The store is far too big for what it is (a newsagent) and they never seem to have enough stock to justify the space. Especially upstairs. All that is up there is the post office and stationery, with a huge empty gap in the middle. I only really come here to buy snacks on the go as they have a good selection of confectionery, including American chocolates. I would have left a 1 star review but the confectionery lifts it up to 2. But as a whole, WHSmith works better in the travel industry, like in train stations and airports because their main high street stores are always eerily quiet and depressing, with the only noises being your footsteps and the occasional beeping of the self checkout.
