I have gone to Linda's four times now. Each and every time I have been greeted with a smile and a…read morefriendly hello and welcome. They have always gone above and beyond to explain the products they have and any recommendations that they may have. Everything we have purchased from this location (Hammond location) has been well worth the price. And their prices are pretty much the same as anywhere else you can think of going or even ordering online. I recommend going here first before taking a trip down to either NOLA or BR just to see if they have what you are looking for. The reason for 4 stars and not 5 is because their store just so happens to be smaller and does not have the amount of options other larger stores have to offer. However, they are the cleanest and most helpful of them all.

Terrible Service! The owner, Mr. Katz, can take up to 24-48 hours to respond. Usually too busy…read more"partying it up" in Pensacola to be attentive to his customer's needs. The only up side is the service is free and the portions are "5x" larger than normal places.

Be still, my heart! I thought the era of game stores with in-store-arcades was long past, but here…read morecomes GameWare blowing away my expectations. The front half of the store is what you would expect: the latest PS3, 360, and wii games, plus a decent selection of titles for hand-helds and older consoles. Pretty much what you could find in any EBGames. But! The back half of the store is a complete gem; they have about 8 arcade machines on rotation. There's a DDR Supernova 2 in immaculate condition, some good racing games (like initial D), cool classic arcade favorites (Puzzle Bobble and Puzzle Fighter!) and the gem of the crop: a Pop'n Music 14 Fever. This place is my saving grace in BR while I'm traveling - I'm probably going to spend an embarrassing amount of time in the arcade section. Oh, and as an addendum - the staff are all quite friendly and chatty. Hooray!

Won't honor the prices on the games listed. I understand the market changes. But when u can't honor…read morea price that u never changed on the game but it's more in your system. That's bad business. Your already over priced. you can find most if not all the games on eBay for cheaper.

A week before the Switch 2 released I spoke with maybe the manager to ask about their stock and…read morewhen they'll go on sale. He dodged the question multiple times and just reiterated to me that they'd have enough to sell all through the night around 11 pm the night before release. I queued in line at 11 around the time they started selling for walk ins to a small but lengthy line. At around 1 pm this same man told me that they were sold out. He wasted my time by lying and telling me they'd have enough, over exaggerating their stock and not giving me a set number. He invited me to come back later in the week and call about availability because they'd be ordering more to arrive within a few days but i'd rather not give them any of my business based on this interaction.

Have already reviewed a Gamestop in Gonzales, LA and is typically the one I try and take the boy to…read morebut this time the local one was out of the NCAA Football '13...WTF??!!?? So I had the joy of fighting Baton Rouge traffic on a Sunday afternoon as this one was closest...but they had 3 copies of the game left and while I wasn't thrilled with the trip at least it's a game that the boy is going to get many hours of enjoyment of!!! So all in all, under a cost-benefit analysis, it was worth it. As stated in previous review...it's a chain game shop and no matter if you're in Red Stick or Los Gatos, CA or Casper, WY or Beaumont, TX or Jackson, MS or BFE North Dakota the layout and offerings are gonna be the same and you know exactly what to expect and what you are gonna get...They are gonna offer the latest in new and used XBox 360 and PS3 games for you to purchase...nothing else can be said!

Baton Rouge has a brand new bookstore and more on Perkins Road! It's located in the same shopping…read morecenter as Trader Joe's and Petco. It's the large space formerly occupied by Pier 1, and they have transformed this into a spacious and amazing media store! 2nd & Charles is a subsidiary of Books-A-Million, and like its parent store, they sell lots of books! This includes used books, which have been in short supply in this area since Cottonwood Books sadly closed. However, this store has lots more! I saw pretty much every kind of physical media represented, as well as lots of cards and pop culture collectibles. There were magazines, comics, music (including vinyl, movies, and even some musical instruments! The staff were going about asking customers if they needed assistance, and there was a line of people checking out with their newly found books and other items. Everyone seemed to be happy with this new business when I visited. I'm glad to see new businesses coming into Baton Rouge, especially book-related businesses!
