The moment I walked in I mentioned I was surprised they were back open since I thought they moved but was met with silence and when I asked about there new subscription member program he just pointed at a piece of paper and said "that" with the details that I didn't understand but refused to ask any further questions because I could just sense the unenthusiastic tone. I could just be overreacting but gaming either table top, desktop or console is an extremely fun hobby and I personally have applied to here many times I just expected someone who actually wants to be there to be there.

I haven't visited here in forever but this visit made me feel some type of way…read more.. So the snow was coming and my daughter wanted a new game to occupy her time as school was canceled the next day. So we first looked at the pre-owned wall. There were several cases that filled the 5ft wall. But we were looking for a Xbox 360 game... She looked and didn't find it. Mom to the rescue! I found the game! We took the empty case to the counter. And here is where you get the actual game and purchase it here as well. Well the employee searched for maybe one minute only to tell us, they are out the game. Bummer! The employee did offer to check other locations. I accepted... the game we were in search for was at a nearby location... We proceeded to Chesapeake. This experience left me feeling like ... why have the case visible when all in all the game wasn't available. But the employee's customer service made up for the disappointment. The shop is located in the Victory Shopping Center among other shops and eateries. It's also minutes from I264. Plenty of parking. Have fun and enjoy life :)

Gamestop as a whole corporation has a bad reputation that I won't dispute at all. But I feel that…read morethe experience at different stores varies. Luckily for me I've never had an issue with the staff at this store. I've only ever been pressured to pre-order a game I didn't want to and that was 5 to 6 years ago (I didn't pre-order the game they wanted me to.) The current staff are friendly and laid back. They pay attention to questions and even give recommendations that are reasonable and from experience as gamers themselves. I would definitely recommend Oldskool if you aren't looking to break the bank, but this is the place to get newer games.

This is my go to place for anime figurines. I get them cheaper than what I would pay for them…read moreonline or at anime conventions. Convention I went to had a vendor want 60 dollars for a figurine that I found at this store for 45 dollars. They have a great selection of figurines from popular shows like One Piece, Naturo, Re:Zero, etc. as well as figurines that are harder to find such as vtuber figurines from Hololive. Game selection is great as well ranging from as old as the Atari 2600 to as new as the PS5 and Xbox Series X. The staff seem like they don't care but are very friendly and helpful once you approach them. This is definitely the best place to go if you live in Ghent, go to ODU or are in the area of Downtown Norfolk.

Plenty of retro and modern games if that's what you're looking for but the people running the store…read moreand the employees are dishonest and will undersell you on your trade ins. Went in 5/27/25 to trade in some collectible figures for a PS2 I was looking at, after ab 30 minutes of waiting for an appraisal the staff comes back and says my figure is worth 192 on a trade for IN STORE CREDIT (w/ 20% added for trade in Tuesday's) not knowing the true value of what I had at the time, I accepted the trade and ended up buying a PS2, memory card, warranty, and 2 PS2 games as well which ended up costing me ~300 in total; despite having a figure worth 4-500 I was given a fraction of what it was actually worth and ended up OWING them money. They then claimed that I need to remember that "they are a small business so ‍" What VGH failed to realize is that I had NO issue trading the item in to them since WITH the money I got from the trade I was going to immediately spend it back at the store meaning they would only stand to have made money on our transaction. The issue I have is VGH pulling an underhanded move like this then turning around allowing me to then spend more of my money in store (when my trade-in value was never met in the first place). TLDR: VGH lost a potential returning customer who would have given significantly more money to this company in time than what they got by cheating me out a SINGLE collectible figure. EDIT: I was also given a 3rd party PS2 controller when I bought my PS2 which is a laughable business practice.

Also grabbed E.T. on the atari 2600 for 8 bucks (for the collection of course). Found Link's Crossbow Training for 7 dollars and that's better than any other price I've seen. Snagged two Wii games one was 3 dollars the other was 4 dollars. If you're a plush person there was a wall of plushes including Mario, Zelda, Animal Crossing, Sonic, etc. If you look past all the anime dolls it will be an amazing experience. Also Gex.

First time at this location, but a frequent visitor to the chain of stores. This store is not close…read moreat all to home, but they confirmed by phone they had a hard to locate PS4 game my son wanted. The parking lot offers challenge. It's small and few spaces. The store is in a small strip and when busy like just after Christmas it can be a problem. Luckily I did score one and close to the door. I saw no trash in lot, or walks. Upon entering it was packed with a line to the door. I confirmed they still had the game and waited. It took around 35 minutes to arrive at the counter. The transaction was processed and rewards money applied to the purchase. The clerk was friendly enough considering he probably had been on his feet all day and was tired. I will probably never go to this store again due to its proximity to my home. However if there was something that only the store had I would be willing to return.

I've been visiting this Gamestop (GS) for a while, but for some reason, I've never set up this…read morebusiness page before--not to mention, no one else has either. I thought I had once, but maybe it was only in a dream. Oh well--I know it's real this time because I'm writing this review. So, let's get started! The main problem with this location is parking; it's in a strip mall and the lot is cramped. However, it is a bit better now that the Sweet Frog section is connected. If the parking lot here is too full, you can always park in the other section and walk over. The interior of this GS is pretty tiny, but seems to carry everything I need. Like every GS I've ever been too, there is too much "stuff" around, and you can hardly move. The service here has always been fine--nothing over-the-top friendly, but adequate. The girl who took care of me today was busy answering phone calls -it is the holiday season afterall!- but she did a great job juggling customers alone. I did find out that GS will sell you digital PC games--even if you don't see any on the shelves. I asked about Sim City because one of my sons wants it for Christmas. I was able to purchase a digital copy of Sim City while buying other items. It made it simple for me so I don't have to deal with ordering online. I received an activation code on the bottom of my receipt. I'm not a big fan of GS since I don't really play games, but since I have three boys, I have to visit at least once in a while. This location is small compared to others, but average overall. I'm just glad we have a GS in the downtown area of Suffolk!

There is so much to see, browse through, buy! It is not only new edition comics on one wall, it's a display of your fave action heroes like Batman, Yu gi oh, in a glass encased display.

Support a unique niche!

Best gaming store in Norfolk. Widest selection of tabletop war games, board games, and card games…read more They have all major current issues of comics and support local artists as well. The selection of fan paraphernalia and accessories is also extensive. The store has a fresh feel to it meaning that older games not currently in print and a large selection of back issue comics don't exist although the dingy mildew of yesteryear's geekdom (which my wife does not appreciate and is prevalent in many similar stores in the area) also does not exist which makes it easier to shop with my wife. She also can buy gifts without being creeped out by a crypt keeper staff pouring through antique Heavy Metal mags. The upstairs has a wide open area with plenty of tables for gaming. There is terrain and opened board games free to use and sample. There used to be a semi snack bar but has been removed, which I think could do quite well as a full-time service since many a gaming group and after school pokemon battle often frequent. Having an employee upstairs could also be good to regulate behavior since it is currently unsupervised. Overall location is fantastic and so is the shopping experience.

Employees are very friendly and are more than happy to answer any question. However we've had mixed…read moreresults when calling in with questions as they either don't quite understand what we're talking about or have misleading answers. Decent selection, but can be on the pricier side sometimes - double check pricing with TCG Player if buying singles. They always have events going on so check their calendar!

This store has THE BIGGEST TOY SELECTION I have seen. The best part is that they have HUGE sale…read moreprices that make you want to buy every toy here because it is so cheap! I dont remember the name of the girl working the store that day, but she was extremely knowledgeable in games and toys. I described to her a game and she was able to identify the name of the game IMMEDIATELY and knew exactly where to find the game in the store. She definitely impressed me! She also told me which games were further discounted even though they were not marked to show an additional discount. I really liked her. They have toys here for one person or more. They have educational games, puzzle games, travel games, everything you can think of!!!! Definitely recommend coming here if you need a game you can rarely find. I definitely found some games here where I had gone out of my way to do internet searches for to buy them online. If only I lived close enough to shop here often!

Go! Toys & Games is a very cool store in the MacArthur Shopping Center. If you want a board game…read morethen Go! is probably going to have it. I think they have about 15 versions of the Monopoly game alone. Also, the staff here know what they are talking about, they are very smart about all the games in the stores and can pretty much answer any question you may have. The prices here are pretty good but the selection is outta this world. Puzzles, board games, education games, travel games, kid games, adult games, the list could go on and on. Check Go! out.
