I highly recommend trying this out for everyone and every age, at least once. It is unreal how you are transported into a new world when you put on the gear. The one thing I would say to someone who is going to try it, is once you are geared up, test the boundaries out before playing. The distance is slightly off when you are standing next to a friend or are near the real building wall. It might look farther in distance than what you actually have.

This place has a good selection of board games and fan-based merchandise…read more They carry most of the popular boardgames you are looking for. It seems to be a busy place as both times I've gone in they've been out of stock with what I'm looking for. However typically later in the week it will be there. The prices are reasonable. Towards the end of the year they have great sales. I got a few different games that were cheaper than Amazon's prices. The staff was friendly and very helpful. I'd give this place a 5 Star but twice they've been out of stock for the board games I was looking for. Otherwise they have a great selection. They also have a lot of unique Pops! and pop culture merchandise. A lot of the stuff they have I haven't seen at other stores. Definitely check this place out while you're in the mall. You never know what kind of discounts and sales they're having!

When I went to check the price on a vintage lighter in an open display case, the owner abruptly stopped his conversation to call to me and grumpily shout "you wanna ask someone before you just start rummaging through things?!" To which I responded "my bad man, I was just checking the price." He doesnt say anything back, just glares at me for a minute while i put the lighter back in silence. It was genuinely weird as hell, especially in a store that is so cluttered you're essentially forced to "rummage through things." It was pretty clear by the continued glare that the guy didnt want me there anymore so i said have a good day and dipped. Really lame behavior from the owner, especially considering ive been hunting for the exact lighter i was holding and was about to buy it before he decided to randomly scold me like a child, but i guess he cares more about looking tough in front of his racist friends than making sales lol.

SCAMMERS - Don't Waste Your Time…read more If you value your time, avoid Gamer's Paradise. The posted business hours don't seem to mean anything. I made the hour-long drive to visit the store, only to find it closed in the middle of the day when it was supposed to be open. After finally getting in touch with the owner on Facebook, he claimed he had to leave because of a "delivery mix-up" and said he'd be back soon. It wasn't the first time I'd heard an excuse either. After multiple trips ending the same way, it became obvious that keeping regular hours isn't a priority. A business shouldn't expect customers to guess whether it'll actually be open. The store itself also feels disorganized. Shelves are cluttered, inventory isn't labeled well, and a lot of items seem to be sitting around without any clear intention of being sold. Before making the trip, I was told over the phone that I'd receive $24 in store credit for a complete, working Nintendo console with the controller and cables. I brought in three complete systems along with games, controllers, and extra cables. The owner gave me values for each item one by one, but after everything was added together, I realized later that I had been shorted by about $20. Since I wasn't given a receipt or any written breakdown of the transaction, I had no way to verify it until I got home. Another thing that didn't sit right with me was that none of the consoles or games were tested before being accepted. Everything was simply taken behind the counter, which didn't seem very professional. Instead of honoring the $24 he'd quoted me over the phone, he only offered $15 for each Nintendo console. I noticed the difference at the time but didn't argue, which I regret. The whole reason I accepted store credit was because I wanted to buy the Xbox that had been sitting in the display case for months. As soon as I was ready to purchase it, I was told they couldn't sell it because they couldn't find the controller or power cable. If that's the case, it shouldn't have been sitting in the display case with a price tag on it. When I returned the next day hoping to exchange my credit for something else, there wasn't anything I wanted. I asked if I could simply get my trade-in items back instead. I was told they had already been mixed in with other inventory and couldn't be returned. They ended up giving me cash instead, but once again I came up about $20 short. By the end of it all, I traded in what I believe was close to $200 worth of games and consoles and only received $71. Between the inconsistent hours, misleading trade values, lack of receipts, and poor customer service, I won't be returning. I recommend taking your business somewhere else.

Stopped into Gamer's Paradise recently after hearing a few people hype it up as a hidden gem for…read moreretro gaming. Wish I could say the same, but unfortunately, the only thing hidden here is the logic behind the prices. We're talking $60 for a loose copy of Super Mario Bros. 3, cartridges with faded labels going for collector's edition prices, and scratched-up discs marked "as-is" that cost more than they do new online. It's like someone googled eBay listings and pulled the highest number they saw then added tax. The selection looks impressive at first, but dig a little deeper and you'll find it's mostly filler: endless copies of sports titles, bargain-bin shovelware, and broken peripherals sold as "vintage." A few rare finds, sure but at prices that make you question whether you're shopping at a store or a museum gift shop. the woman staffer was not friendly, but there was a weird defensiveness when I asked if they ever negotiate or offer bundle deals. I get that retro gaming is a niche, but this place seems to be banking hard on nostalgia and hoping no one checks eBay or PriceCharting first. If you're a collector with deep pockets or just really into overpaying for mid-condition games, maybe this is your spot. For everyone else, you're better off looking online or hitting up a local swap meet.
