GAMER'S FIX So today…read moreis Him Indoors' birthday...he decided last night he wanted to have "a two-console household"...ooookaaaaay darling!! ;-) He's already got a PS4 and today I got him a Wii U in this Game store. The location is very handy, close to loads of transport and central!! As soon as we asked for assistance, a very friendly girl came over and helped us out. She immediately told us about a bundle deal, where basically you get the console (for the normal price it is everywhere...) and a wee accessories pack free...and there are cheaper games (premium and new titles) should you chose to buy them at that point. The accessory pack had a wee stylus (the Wii U game controller is a huge thing with a touch screen and buttons etc, so this is a great wee bonus for NO MONEY!!) a screen protector for the controller screen and a pouch to keep the controller safe when not in use...FABULOUS wee extra!! The staff member then showed us where the pre-owned games were, there was a good selection! Him Indoors had a rewards card, so she happily put the points on there for us and explained that the points don't register for 24 hours, again, helpful!! He spied another game he liked the look of so asked her to put it aside whilst we went to look for other bday pressie stuff elsewhere (we ended up not going elsewhere, but she had already set it aside for him, so it was available ready to go at the till.) I would definitely recommend this shop to anyone looking for games/consoles/iPads etc...they have a great selection (of new and pre owned games and consoles!) and they take pre orders too for the next Big Thing!!

Probably my favourite Gamestation…read more It's on a good location on Union Street near Fopp (a cheeky combo of CD's and video games, please?) and Glasgow Central. They have a huge range of video games on all the big consoles including X-Box, Wii and PS3 with different members of staff stating clear preferences for which one is their favourite. It's important to know this when you make big purchases because they will steer you away/towards particular products. They do good trade-ins and bundles and are always bang up to date with the latest releases. It's pretty big inside with plenty of room to move around and they always have playable demos of new releases which is always fun!

When I was looking around the store all you can see is thick dust everywhere, especially the shelf behind the counter and even the black security camera was grey due to the obvious fact it really did need cleaned. After a short while I gave in and walked out as staff should not be huddled in a corner they should be serving us customers. Obviously not in cex Union Street Glasgow.

If Comic Book Guy from The Simpsons was real, he would work in here…read more I don't read comics, but I know enough to know there's a genuinely good selection on the go in here. I go to pick up obscure gifts for people and generally let me jaw drop at some of toys and games in here. There's alot of that in here, just looking around and such. Given the recent trend for superhero movies, there appears to be enough of an appeal for places like this to survive. And I'm all for it.

It has the latest imports as well as back issues and the knowledgeable staff go out of their way to help you. Like its sister store Static Games, my brother is a regular customer and chats about the guys here by their first names. I was once with him when he popped in & they chatted like old friends that even I, a comic novice, felt totally welcome and was in awe of their geeky knowledge. A fun place.

It was late one Thursday evening and I had missed the late night shopping due to a rehearsal I was…read moreat. I needed to kill some time and also was still in thinking mode about some Christmas present ideas. I stopped outside Waterstones and though 'ach I'll hiv a wee nosey' so I came across some audio books and a staff member pointed me in the direction to more. I explained I was looking for something my dad and she suggested a couple for me. Well he absolutely loves them. Yay! I just want to thank the kind girl who helped me out. I was struggling for ideas and just didn't know where to begin as there's just sooo many titles. I also asked on the off chance to see if they had the Yo! Sushi cookbook at a cheaper price rather than purchasing it from Yo! Sushi themselves. Unfortunately they didn't have it in stock but the Sauchiehall Street branch did but it was about 9.30ish and it wasn't on my route to the restaurant I was heading to. It was the same price too so was best just to nip round the corner and get it out the restaurant. The staff were very helpful and took their time to help me even though it was near to closing time. Athough not as well stocked as Sauchiehall Street it catered my unexpected needs.

This Argyle Street store has a decent selection of books all the same, which goes beyond best sellers to include academic books and stationary. I don't think it necessarily deserves the bad rep it appears to be getting on Yelp, but it does come second best to the Sauchiehal Street branch.

Not a bad selection of new and pre-owned games for quite a small store. We dropped in on a Saturday…read morethough, and the staff were definitely struggling to keep up with the Saturday rush so perhaps they're a bit understaffed. However, they were doing their best, staying cheerful and they apologised for our wait - I can't really blame them that their store is busy. It definitely feels busier in part due to the layout. I guess because it's quite a small plot the aisles are really narrow so that they can fit lots of stock in and I honestly don't know if there is a better option other than moving to a location with more room. Given the way people shop for games (slowly browsing titles, either looking for something specific or just for any good deals) once you have four or five people in the store it can be quite tricky to navigate without fear of knocking things over. As with most branches of Game they have new and pre-owned games available for the major consoles and PC as well as accessories and peripherals, a little miscelaneous merchandise, some DVDs and blu-rays and pre-owned items like smartphones and tablets, as well as the consoles themselves and gift cards. Points can be earned on the free loyalty card (or app) and then put towards future purchases. I really like the 3 for 2 offer on pre-owned games because I find it hard to justify playing full price for new releases. If you can get something that was released a couple of years ago (and that hence has plenty of full reviews for you to read online) for only ~£5 that seems like a pretty good deal, even more so with the 3 for 2 offer. Plus they give you a guarantee that it will work for a year, which is the same as a new game anyway. I wish the store were slightly larger, but otherwise it's a decent place to stop for almost all your gaming needs.

Located in the St Enoch's centre on the same side and up a bit from Clinton's. I went in here with…read morenot much knowledge and found the staff to be helpful and knowledgable a big relief to me. The various games were put under the different consolue groups and they stocked a range of pre owned games. I did notice one pre owned game being sold for the same amount as the new game so it must be popular. I found this store to be bright but quite tight to move around in as it was busy. Although the staff were busy they made time to help me a big thing for someone who does not really know much about the computer games etc.
