Alas, all good things come to an end, so does this location. Years ago, I raved about this place…read morebeing a nerd-vana? Now, it's nothing like that. All the little things that made me want to drive out to this place are dead and gone. Shelving for old X-Box, PS, Nintendo, Sega, Atari, and Intellivision games? Gone. Replaced by row upon row of soulless Funko Pops. Boardgame section? Hardly any used and all new... and no real reason to buy there as opposed to Amazon or other online BG retailer. RPG section? No more 1e D&D modules or older materials, or anything else for that matter. Just the same old 5e crap, with Critical Role mixed in, with video game guides slowly spreading into the section like a cancer. The only good thing was not in the store, but in the parking lot, where they had a car show going on. The place turned from nerd-vana into just another BAM! bookstore (the owners of 2nd & Charles). Won't be back.

It used to be a Books-A-Million from the same chain. They have a great selection of used tabletop RPGs that also includes some new products at full retail price. It's a huge store that buys from customers. Getting into and out of the parking lot is difficult because U.S. 190 and service roads are confusing and traffic is chaotic. I use my phone to navigate even short drives in this part of Covington.

My wife, brother and I stopped in while home for the holidays. I was blown away. If a store like…read morethis had existed while I lived in Tylertown, I would have been constantly broke! My nerdiness was right at home, surrounded by board games, card games, video games, and comics. Additionally, you can rent or buy movies and their selection is extremely well curated. I was lucky enough to find a storage box that will work perfectly for my Star Wars Destiny set (wasn't kidding about the nerdiness). They also had an impressive set of Pop vinyl figures. I believe they also host game nights which is another reason this store is a great addition to my old hometown. The owner was extremely friendly as well. I will definitely be stopping in every time I'm home to visit family. P.S. It looks like the location attached to this listing isn't where the shop is located now.

We came across the store, thinking it looked really cool inside so we decided to look around. We've decided to buy resident evil biohazard because I once had the game when it first came out. Mind you we live in New Orleans, Louisiana so we drove a long way from where we live to Biloxi. Just to come home and find out that the game does not work at all. We popped the game in the ps4 and once the game played for five minutes, then it played for three minutes, and after that it wouldn't play at all & this would pop up on the screen. "Cannot continue using the application. The disc cannot be read. Make sure that the disc is not damaged or dirty." Upon further inspection of the CD it's obvious that the game is a fake. And after reading the return policy and other reviews, we already know we won't get a legit game or any help with our purchase considering they didn't help others with the same issue. We also didn't receive a receipt from the employee. I feel scammed. What a lovely birthday gift.

The selection really is impressive: tons of old consoles, games, and accessories that took us right back to childhood. But the prices? Absolutely ridiculous. Almost $200 for a used N64?

BUT, an instant shame when you realize the only reason they've got what you're looking for, is because everything is grossly overpriced by $20-$50 what you can easily find it for online.. even the common games are double what you should reasonably be paying. I'm all for supporting local and independent businesses, but GET REAL with your prices. I would have gladly picked up 5+ games today but I left empty handed. Very friendly and helpful staff and lots of quality titles. But the disgusting price gouging due to the poor business model is earning this shop 3 stars instead of 5.
