My wedding video was stuck in my PS4 and have been putting off getting my Playstation fixed and he said it could take a few days to fix it and get the disk out. Which I was fine with. So I brought it in expecting it to be fixed by the end of the week. When I got there he asked if I had a few minutes to kind of hang out Which I did and he fixed it and had my wedding video out within a half-hour I was so freaking happy I would absolutely go here again and I will always recommend this place to anyone who needs video games or consoles. I will be buying all of my video games and consoles from here from now on! THANK YOU VIDEO GAME WIZARDS! I GIVE THIS PLACE 10 THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

Retro Shark Gaming should reconsider their name, it's hardly retro, and overall a disappointing…read morevisit. I have gone a few times over the past year, and have felt the same dissatisfaction each time. With the scarce options in Gresham for games, I felt I should give them a couple chances. The video game selection is meek if that. With the most variety for new gen consoles XB S/X and PS5 (This would be fine if they didn't price things as badly). The sections for "retro" games are pitiful, with laughable selections. Any game you came in hoping to find, they've either priced it way too high in the glass case, or they don't have it. Serious price gouging overall, this can't be stated enough. It feels like a basement selection of games that nobody wants, or everyone already has. They even offer games that no longer have online services, rendering them useless to the buyer, at the same price as when these games released 5+ years ago. Do those games come with a warning before or after you buy them? At one point I was on the look out for an original Wii controller, when I called the store I got such vague answers. "We might have them" or a long sales pitch on their off branded Wii controllers sold in store (surprise! They are horrible quality and barely catch a read on the sensor bar) Surely they know the quality of these second market controllers they are selling/ promoting? Just a waste of money and time. The main attraction of this store seems to be the tabletop gaming. They have many events during the week, and I think that is helping with the overall traction of people going in and out of the place. It can't be their prices or selection! I truly think this place would be better off just pivoting to exclusively tabletop games, or AT LEAST take "retro" out of the name. Either way- if you're looking for retro games, don't waste your time here.

KLEARSKI THE KREEPER, a YouTuber who's built a reputation for respectfully showcasing local…read morebusinesses, visited your store on May 29, 2025, to celebrate Pac-Man's 45th anniversary. He wasn't filming anyone without consent, and he's always quick to stop recording if asked. His goal is simple: highlight unique local spots and give them well-deserved attention. What he does is free promotion--something especially valuable in today's economy. As someone who lives in Portland, I'd never even heard of your shop until his video. I was excited to check it out, but the way the filming was shut down--despite no signs posted and no harm being done--left a negative impression. That said, I want to be clear: I don't want to hurt your business. I want to support it. That's why I was disappointed. Gresham and Portland need more visibility and community support, and creators like Klearski help make that happen. He left feeling discouraged, and I believe this could've been handled differently--maybe even turned into a great opportunity. Your staff was kind, and there's no ill will. I just hope next time, the door stays open to creators who are genuinely trying to help businesses like yours thrive.

Luckily, Portland has a wonderful reading community that operates Rose City Reads. I actually found out about this location from a volunteer at the store in the Main library. Located in a strip mall, this location is out in the northeast, an area with few bookstores. Each time I've ventured in, there are plenty of other patrons roaming the stacks. And because this location is run by caring volunteers, it's always well organized with clearly labeled shelves. About half of the books are library discards, while the rest are community donations. And most everything is less than $5, so there are plenty of deals to be had.

We recently did a small run of discs with them, and submitted all files according to their art specs and templates. In their internal processes, they reordered our pages and printed them out of order. When I asked them about it, they said they had to "retemplate our files" and that we should have noticed that they did that (when the art looked exactly like we submitted it, in the order they asked for, with some labels that changed, and without them telling us they would be "retemplating" our files). They told us we needed to pay for reprint of new booklets, and I asked them to do the reprint at cost, since it was their mistake. They declined, needed to make even more money from us through their internal errors. I would choose anyone else to do business with. They aren't reputable. Go somewhere else!
