I used to go to this shop back when it was in Seabrook. They have a ton of comics back stock and rare items on the wall. They also do some good sales for back issues and books etc for a good price. Really cool shop inside I recommend anyone to go and check it out.

I was really excited about visiting the store after seeing the YouTuber PhoenixResale highlight it…read morein his Texas game stores video. When I came into the store I wasn't welcomed in by anyone which didn't set a friendly precedent. I couldn't distinguish between the customers and the employees that worked there. I think they should wear a color coded shirt and name tag to help distinguish them from everyone else. I started asking different questions to the employee at the front desk, but he seemed always bothered every time I approached. Looked like a new guy. He said he hadn't been there for very long. Doesn't seem like he wants to be there. Maybe he was having a bad day? He seemed to be in physical pain or something from my impression. The one old guy with the long beard was super nice and helpful. The girl working there didn't seem to be doing anything but standing around. Just felt awkward. I got asked way too many times by the guy at the front desk if I needed help finding anything, one time is enough, I don't need to be bothered five times. Doesn't help make a customer feel welcome. Maybe a short friendly conversation about a game they enjoy or are looking for will be more encouraging and welcoming to the customer. Disclaimer: This part of my review about Culture Shock isn't a knock against GameBros, but wanted to leave this bit in my review since the stores are combined it was part of my impressions. I browsed around and could see that the store floor was mixed with Culture Shock. They had way too many funco pops. I know some people are really into that, but literally every customer that walked in was totally disinterested including myself and would go straight for the games or other toys and figures in the back. Pretty big waste of space for items that will hardly be sold. Back to Gamebros, they had a really neat display of some rare video games, but so many of them were ridiculously overpriced. I just don't see any average person coming in to buy that stuff. Why even have it on display if nobody plans on buying it? I tried looking for some PS1 and PS2 games, but unfortunately couldn't find any I was looking for. I guess high demand games like Crash Bandicoot 3, Crash Bash and Ratchet and Clank games get sold really fast. I found some N64 games and Super Nintendo games. The N64 ones seemed to be fairly priced, some of the N64 and Super Nintendo ones were way overpriced though probably due to high demand and popularity. I definitely would not pay those prices and most other customers would feel the same. Prices for the original Xbox and Wii games were great, as well as the PS3. Overall, I give the store a 6/10. A more welcoming atmosphere and friendly positive customer service from the employees will encourage people to come back. I ended up spending around $100, so they got some of my business. I don't think I'll be back anytime soon though.

They're a bit more expensive than GameStop and Game X Change. Today, I came in to see if they had any N64 consoles. I walked into the store and there was an employee sitting behind the counter that didn't acknowledge my existence. After getting lost in mountains of funko pop figures, I finally walked up and asked if they had any N64 systems and he looked up from his phone long enough to say "no" before going back about his business. With this type of customer service, it's amazing that this store stays open. I definitely won't be back.

The shop's goal is to be a third space for black and brown nerds. They have different events planned for every week. From, DnD, movie nights, game nights, writers and artists etc. I love how inviting the shop is and I am really excited to join them for some of their events. While they don't have the most extensive comic collection they are definitely willing to look up and find whatever book you are looking for. Can't wait to continue visiting and see what is in the future for the shop!

Upon walking in my grandmother and I were greeted by the mother of the book store owner. I hate that I did not get her name but she was so sweet and so was her granddaughter who was there working with her today. I got three books and two stickers to add to my junk journal which I am so excited about. The prices here are reasonably priced and I love supporting small businesses let alone Women and Black Owned business. The set up meets coffee shop/ library and it's beyond cute a lot of photo opp opportunities. There is also a kids section if you have a little one ! My fav section of the bookstore was the reading room LED sign with the yellow chair that I was told is called "The Queens Chair". I cannot wait to start my new reads and visit the bookstore again!
