Game Over Videogames: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Game Over Retro Videogames is an awesome spot for collectors and gamers! Raul went above and beyond helping me track down a rare PS1 game I’ve been hunting for. Not only did he take the time to find it for me, but he also checked if I had any store credit and discovered I had $6 waiting. Thanks to that, I was able to snag this hard-to-find classic for only $15! Great customer service, super friendly, and definitely the place to go if you’re into retro gaming. Highly recommend!
Negative experience: Called about a n64 yall had it in stock. Came to the store to purchase, clerk decided his phone was more important than my purchase so we left. I did get his attention before a customer returned for a charger.
Thanks so much for reaching out about this! So sorry this happened as we pride ourselves on providing excellent customer service, and as such we do not allow employees to even use their personal cell phones while on the sales floor...but if this was not the case here, we'll definitely reach out to that store manager to make sure they immediately remind and retrain all employees on that rule and ensure that this will not happen again - to you or anyone else - at our store! We're very sorry, and we hope that you will accept our sincere apology and give us a another chance to earn your business in the future. Thanks!
Negative experience: I rode a motorcycle an hour from Katy since I saw the ad's on social media and the photos on yelp showed a really good looking store - I was disappointed to say the least Apparently you can't trade games in after 7pm like.. are we fr? I just rode an hour with a 5 pound bag and couldn't fit any more games, so I left empty handed. Half the games on the wall were not CIB and being sold at similar prices as CIB in other stores. The least the owner could do is print some sort of photo so I don't have to read handwritten covers. Selection of games was a bit small for the photos I saw online Taking my business elsewhere and so should you
Hi there, and thanks so much for reaching out about this! You are correct that sounds crazy to us too and we can assure you that is NOT our policy to turn sales or trades away at 7p...or ever! We want all the sales and trade ins we can get! :)
Unfortunately, after looking into this situation, it seems that one of our newer employees just had some bad information and made a mistake. We are all extremely sorry that this happened, and we have now taken steps to ensure that ALL employees are aware that we are open for business, including sales AND buybacks right up til the store closes at 8pm.
We hope that you will accept our sincere apology for this mistake on our part, and hopefully you'll give us another chance to earn your business on sales and buybacks in the future.
Thanks for understanding!!
Fantastic experience: Great service, selection, but the Baytown store really ROCKS!!! Any chance y'all could post on the Baytown GMB some photos of the plushies or figurines?
Thanks so much for your business & support at ALL of our Houston area stores! :)
Fantastic experience: Good old retro store.
Fantastic experience: My visit was pretty fast. I walked in, asked if they had any GameCubes, and to my luck, they did. They explained that they test all their consoles before putting them up for sale and they even had the tested date on it. Really professional staff and very knowledgeable of the products they have. I totally recommend this place
Sounds great! Glad you had such a great experience, and we look forward to seeing you again soon!
Positive experience: They have a good variety of popular/ common video game selections from Atari to PS5. The video game selections are primarily preowned and prices are inflated for popluar titles while unpopular titles are fairly priced. They have nintendo merchandise from door mats to keychains. Id recommend this place for gamers who need gaming accessories on a pinch, they have used and new; the conveniency of buying in person and instant, will come at a inflated price, compared to buying on ebay or online. For example, the psp chargers are 14.99 at this store but on ebay they are priced at $8 with free delivery. Do your research on pricing ahead of time if you are looking to save money. They do buy, sell, trade too. Id recommend this place, worth a browse.
Thanks so much for that great review! Yes, it's true, as much as we do our best to price our inventory competitively, that darn internet does sometimes come in a bit cheaper...but the good news with us is that you get your purchase much faster than online (instantly!), and you have our amazing stores to browse and our amazing staff to help you out with questions before & after purchase. Plus, if anything ever goes wrong, it's a whole lot easier to do an exchange with us here at the store in person than shipping something back to an online seller. We really appreciate you shopping with us and still supporting us - even in this hyper-competitive world that we live in. Thanks so much for your business & support, and we hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: They have tons of selections at reasonable prices and the options were endless, the store is covered with memorabilia old and new.
WOW! Thanks for that great review! :)
Positive experience: Only reason why 4 stars is because me and my dad bought red dead redemption 2 for the ps4 and ever time I put the disk in at 6 gb it always says error and idk if it's the game are the console.
Thanks so much for reaching out! Sometimes game disks need to be cleaned/buffed a bit if you see errors...or the console itself or the laser inside could be in need of cleaning as well. Please feel free to bring that game disc back to our store, and we'll be happy to test it out and see if we can fix it with a little disc buffing. Thanks for your business and support!
Fantastic experience: This place is the best! I have no idea why some idiots put one star, the only thing one star was the jerks that posted h8. I'm just bummed because I didn't venture in sooner. The staff are kind and knowledgeable. And holy cow do they have every system and game I've never heard of. Keep up the awesome that yall bring!!!
Awesome, thanks so much! We always do our very best to provide the ultimate video game store experience, and we're glad to hear that you had such a great experience with us! Thanks for your business & support!
Fantastic experience: This place is great they have a huge selection of Games clothes and consoles that you can select and purchase
Thanks so much! We really appreciate those kinds words and support!
Fantastic experience: This is a great store for used and vintage video games, consoles, and accessories. They also have gifts for gamers like hats, toys, and artwork. The staff was helpful and friendly.
Wow, thanks so much! We really appreciate your business & support, and we hope to see you again soon!
Negative experience: I have been lowballed by this store on two occasions now, first time I was not given full trade value for a platinum gain cube in good condition with two OEM controllers at the time they had a promotion that said game cubes in good condition with OEM controllers at $80. I was denied that because the controllers were dirty and I was told I could not go home and clean them to get the full price today. I was also lowballed on two popular games MegaMan X4 and Pokémon X I tried to negotiate knowing the stores policy of going up to 30% and the associate said that they only do that on consoles which is not true and then he tried to say it was oh just for popular games and which is also not true as long as it’s not one of the shovel wear games I know people who I’ve worked for the company. I’ve worked in the games resale market before I know what I’m talking about stay away from this location.
Fantastic experience: Great, neat, underated Local Shop! I was recommended this shop from family. I needed and picked up a perfect X360 s controller (because gamestop online sold me a controller with no battery case or thumbstick rubber)... Game Over's was way better for price with awesome OE stickers. I also picked up a non-running console that ended with a great experience. Totally reccomend!
Thanks for that great review! We really appreciate your business and support! See you next time!
Negative experience: The only reason I am giving this place a two star rating is the fact that they have a nice selection of games. However, who's to say that's actually their selection? My boyfriend and I were on the hunt for some Xbox games and came across this place while in the Houston area. It was 40 minutes from where we were and we decided to make the drive. There was only one guy working the counter. We browsed a good bit and my boyfriend found a game he wanted to purchase. We waited for him to finish up with the people in front of us (about 10-15 minutes) After waiting for the salesman to finalize a sale with the three people in front of us, we sat there waiting again for about another 5 minutes just to be told the game we wanted to purchase wasn't in store and it must have gotten misplaced during their move from some vendor even they recently had" all the guy could say was "sorry" offered no solution whatsoever. Sorry didn't put the game in our hand or offer our time and gas wasted back. Disappointing first time experience. Would have definitely been back if it weren't for this. But they lost a potential customer.
So sorry to hear about this experience! You probably just happened to come by the store as they were unloading from a local convention. Our inventory counts are typically spot on, but sometimes things do get occasionally lost or stolen at big conventions... we're so sorry this happened, but we can assure you that we do our best to keep things in our store neat, organized, and complete, so hopefully this situation will not happen to you again. We hope that you'll give us another chance to impress you better sometime in the future. Thanks!
Negative experience: Really would like to know who sets the prices here. One trip to pricecharting.com shows how insanely inflated they are. If you guys are buying stuff at market price, it isn't right to upcharge people who may not know. You are counted on to be professional and people trust you won't try and scam them, but selling Zelda Wind Waker for 150 when it goes for 60 to 70 anywhere else is INSANE. Pokemon Yellow, loose, no box, for 100 dollars when it goes for 50. Really need to explain why you guys are upcharging on almost every game you guys have.
Positive experience: Good selection, not as many hard to find games as there used to be available in stock ..
Thank you.
Positive experience: Nice place , owner was good , bought something today. Will go back if I need any retro gaming stuff .
Thanks for reaching out to us! I'm the owner of Game Over, but I actually work in Austin....but I'm very glad to hear that our staff here in Houston was able to help you and got such high praise! Thanks for your business & support, and we hope to see you again soon!
Positive experience: Pretty alright place, only negative thing I have to say was that one of the disks that I bought didn't function likely due to it being scratched, was able to get a replacement for it though since it was like a 5 minute walk to.
Thanks for the great review, and sorry to hear about that disc issue. Glad to hear that our local team there was able to quickly get that swapped out for you. Thanks for your business & support, and we hope to see you again soon!
Negative experience: 6/21/2025 I called the guy working and he told me there was a Harvest Moon GBA available, told him I'll drive there to pick it up. After arriving and looking at the selection they guy tells me he can't find it. Spend the drive and waiting patiently for him just to tell me that I pretty much got bailed to come in and buy nothing.
Thanks for reaching out to us, and we're very sorry about that!! Most likely the person answering the phone just looked in the computer instead of actually checking the GBA section in the store in person. Our computer inventory is accurate about 99% of the time, but in this case, for some reason, we were off on that count and showed 1 in inventory when in reality we were sold out. Very sorry again about that, and please feel free to call us or our other Houston area locations from time to time to see if another copy comes in soon. That is a hard to find game, but once we get it in stock, if you give us a call, we're happy to physically grab it and put it on a 24hr hold for you to make absolutely sure you get it next time. Thanks for understanding, and again, we sincerely apologize for our mistake here.
Fantastic experience: Classic games , i love this spot and it’s one of the best spots (one of the only spots) in H town to get your video game collection up no matter which generation of gaming your represent! Thank you !
Thanks so much Tyler! We really appreciate you, and we are honored to be your go to spot for gaming in Houston! See you next time!
Fantastic experience: Awesome place to go get games relatively easy and priced
Thanks so much for those kind words and support!! We really appreciate your business, and we hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Love the collection of consoles, collectibles, and games along with the repair service and Quality
Thanks so much! We really appreciate your business & support, and thanks for the great review! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: My oldest 2 kids are gamers and we have had about 5 walkins here in the past year. Bought 2 consoles from them that were fabulous and everyone working is so pleasant and I love that. I set up an account with them and love the reward system.
WOW! Thanks so much, and we're so happy to hear that great positive feedback on our stores, staff, and rewards system! We really appreciate your family's business & support, and we look forward to your next visit! Thank you
Negative experience: I'm normally a good customer with them, sold them several consoles, but when I tried to sell my wii/GameCube they only offered me 30 dollars for entire console and sells it for 120. Don't sell your consoles here or games they will not give you a fair price for it An 90 dollar up sale is not due to limited inventory, your guy tried to low ball the hell out of me and get a system almost free. If your going to buy systems at least be fair. Again consumers do your research on any game console or game to see how much it's worth so you sell it for a fair amount because they will get you
Thanks for reaching out to us! Since you mention shopping with us regularly and selling us consoles previously with no issues, we're glad those experiences and buyback prices offered were great. In this case, we're sorry you didn't like that particular offer, but pricing depends on many factors including condition, accessories/games included, cash on hand, current inventory, etc, so those offers do vary daily and by location. Sorry again we couldn't agree on a buyback offer this time, but we hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Very helpful on the phone and great site! Love the niche games they manage to get in inventory.
Awesome! Thanks for the great review, and we hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Great shop! I've been to a few of these locations and this one is just as nice. Super clean, well organized, the staff is helpful without trying to oversell you on anything. Can't ask for more from a game store. Keep up the great work!
Wow, thanks so much! We always do our best to provide great service and a great game store experience! Thanks for your business & support, and we hope to see you again soon!
Negative experience: THIS PLACE IS A SCAM. DO NOT SHOP HERE!!! this place sold us a console claiming it was tested and works. we drove almost an hour to come buy it. but when we got home and tried it it glitches so bad (on various games not just one) that its not playable. then they claim that there are no refunds and only store credit. we’ve been in there several times and never found anything worth buying until this console, and it ended up not working so store credit is useless to us. THIS PLACE IS A SCAM. WE DON’T WANT STORE CREDIT WE WANT OUR MONEY BACK. THIS GAME IS SUPPOSED TO BE TOY POP.
Thanks for reaching out on this! We definitely do test, clean, and refurbish all consoles so we can sell them in great working condition. Often times when issues like this arise, it's due to a scrached disc or dirty/dusty/rusty contacts on a cartridge, and those can be easily cleaned and fixed in most cases. Just in case anything defective ever slips through the cracks here and doesn't work as intended, we don't offer refunds, however, we DO do offer a 14 day defect guarantee on all products we sell. All you need to do is bring the console/game/acc back to a local Game Over store (there are 3 in the Houston area), and we'll be happy to set it all up, test everything, and fix/replace any damaged or defective items at no cost. Thanks for understanding, and we hope to see you soon so we can get this resolved for you asap!
Negative experience: Over priced eBay tends to have better deals. Their quality control is lackluster.. I bought a game that they resurfaced got it home it was cracked & didn’t work. If you ask to see the disk they act as if it annoys them.
Thanks for taking the time to reach out to us, and sorry to hear about your issues with that game. We always do our best to refurbish and sell all our used items in the very best condition possible, but sometimes mistakes do happen or items are beyond repair from a simple disc buffing. Please remember that is why we have a full 14 day defective guarantee, so you can bring that game back to the store, and we'll be happy to replace it with another copy or store credit anytime during business hours 11-8. Hope to see you again soon so we can get this resolved for you!
Positive experience: Found stuff I thought you had to order online solely and at reasonable prices. Don't waste your time at those other game stores at the mall, head on by Game Over for all your video game needs.
Thanks so much for that great review and kind words about our store! We really appreciate your business, and we hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Staff is very friendly and knowledgeable, will also help you with any issues you have!!
Thanks so much for that great review! We really appreciate your business & support, and we hope to see you again soon!
Negative experience: Not offering cash for games, only store credit and very little store credit at that. Expect the Game Stop experience here before you drive on 1960.
Sorry to hear about that experience! Trade in values vary based on many factors including condition, value, current inventory, cash on hand, etc.
We do always give cash and credit options (credit is always more!), but I'm guessing the location just happened to be low/out on cash that particular day if a cash offer was not made. We'll get with the staff there asap to make sure funds are available, and we hope to see you again soon either here or at any of our other Houston area locations. Thanks for understanding!
Positive experience: It's pretty good. Has good prices on games but doesn't have anything different that other retro game stores offer.
Thanks for the great review, and we hope to see you again soon!
Negative experience: Went there to sell a game collection I had, just after I found the prices of them that day taking into consideration the condition they were in and what they sell for on eBay, they offered me roughly 1/6 the actual value. That was fine and all but right after, they sold my younger sister a game and not until she was done swiping her card did they inform her of their “return policy” stating there is no refunds even if the game doesn’t work, only trade in up to equal value of the game. Waiting until after she paid was completely unprofessional and in this case with what the policy is, extremely malicious. Won’t be giving this company any business!
Thanks so much for reaching out, and we really appreciate your business! Glad to hear the trade went well, and sorry about any confusion on the defect policy. We do have signs posted near the register, it prints on the receipts, and as you mentioned, we explain to everyone at purchase too. Since we do clean, test, refurbish everything as best we can, usually we don't run into any issues... but in the rare event that issues or defects do show up, we're happy to fix, replace, or give store credit anytime within 14 days of purchase. The only limit is that we just don't do refunds. This policy is similar to other resale shops with used inventory. We always approach and explain it as clearly as possible, but we're sorry that didn't sit well with you at the time of purchase. We hope you enjoy your purchase, and if you do run into any issues, please let us know and we'll be happy to work with you to resolve them. Thanks for understanding, and we hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Perfect for retro gamers. They pretty much have something from every console generation going back to the 80s. They carry games and consoles for current generations as well. Gamers of all types should be able to find something they like here.
Thanks so much! We really appreciate your kind words, and we look forward to continuing to earn your business & support!
Fantastic experience: Always a great place to visit! Truly enjoy the store and atmosphere, staff is friendly and very helpful.
Awesome, thanks so much for that great review! We really appreciate your business & we hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: The guy working there have an impressive knowledge of all the platforms
Awesome, glad to hear that, and thanks for your business & support!
Fantastic experience: We love shopping here! Always great finds and very friendly staff. Prices are fair, and even when purchasing older games we don't have issues often. On the rare occasions we had an issue, it was resolved easily a seamlessly
Thanks for those kind words! We really appreciate your business & support!
Negative experience: The manager had a standoffish attitude which is not my typical experience at game stores. I brought in games to sell and he offered $40 which I was happy to accept. He did not need to be unpleasant though, maybe he was having a bad day ♂️
Thanks for your business & support! Not sure what could have happened in this situation, but glad it all worked out, and please feel free to email us more info if you like to [email protected] so we can better train our staff on keeping up our excellent customer service at all times. Thanks for your business!
Fantastic experience: Lacking on nes,snes and gensis..but all other formats they have a decent selection.
Thanks for the great review! Yes, inventory and selection vary daily and by location, and often times for the more popular games/systems, title assortment goes up and down constantly. If you have certain titles in mind, you can always call us in advance to see if we have them in stock that day too. Thanks again for your business & support, and we hope to see you again soon!
Negative experience: I just had my partner call to check on the availability of a game for me, and the guy who picked up was named James I believe. James was incredibly rude and told them that “he can’t check for them” and immediately hung up on them. No context or anything, he couldn’t be bothered. They have terrible customer service and are not helpful. Why pick up the phone if you cant offer any help?
Negative experience: Nice employees but quality checks needs some serious work before you sell products. I have purchased a fat ps3 system two days ago and the controller it came with buttons are jammed so I went in today to buy another controller, took it home and the d pad and face buttons don't work. Wth guys??
Wow, so sorry to hear about that! We definitely do clean/refurbish everything we sell as best as possible, so if that wasn't done in this case, please bring those items back anytime so we can fix those up correctly for you or swap them out. Thanks for understanding, and we hope to see you soon so we can get this resolved!
Negative experience: Great customer service! And decent selection of games! I wouldn’t recommend selling games to the company unless you are in a pinch! Trade in credit is good from them! UPDATE: went today to visit the store and wanted to see how much cash I would get for 5 genuine Nintendo switch controllers. Controllers were tested and nothing was mentioned of defects. They offered me $20 for all 5 controllers (I’m positive the business would have sold them each for $20-$30) Customer service is good still :) PLEASE SELL YOUR GAMES AND ACCESSORIES ELSEWHERE OR ONLINE YOURSELF :)
Positive experience: Decent selection. They have several stores so if you're looking for something in particular they can call up the other stores to check. The location for the store sucks though.
Thanks for checking out our store on 1960 in Houston! Sorry you didn't find what you were looking for this time, but as you mentioned, we do have 3 locations in the Houston area, and selection/inventory changes daily and varies by location. Plus, you can shop online at www.gameovervideogames.com, and if you place an order there, you can select "in store pickup" for free, and we'll ship it to a local store of your choice for pickup. Thanks for your business & support, and we hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Ordered online after visiting this store off and on for a while. Got what I ordered quick despite the holidays, in dang near perfect condition with manuals and everything, and every time I call or am in store the customer service is always A1. Do yourself a favor and check this place out.
Wow, thanks so much for that great review! We're happy to have earned your trust and business - both in our stores and online! Hope to see you again soon!
Negative experience: Don't try to come here to buy games. I'm pretty sure if half the games on your shelf including they EXTREMELY pricey ones like Animal Crossing or Super Mario Sunshine (They didn't even have this in the store yet still tried to sell it) don't read or are broken or corrupt, then they're essentially ripping you off. Can't do refunds either, only trade credit. And that sucks too considering when you try to use your credit towards games but half to keep finding replacements because the games dont read then what the hell am I supposed to do? there is still one game that I couldn't fix. Go to Quicksave Video Games in tomball, they have WAY better options and prices. Hell they even fix your discs less that Hey Bro videogames does!
Thanks for checking out our store and taking the time to reach out to us! We do buff/test/clean/refurbish everything in store, and for anything you buy from us that has any defects, we do offer a 14-day guarantee where you just bring it back and we'll buff/fix/replace it or offer store credit. Not sure what caused this particular situation in your case, but I'd suggest going back in to speak to the local store manager or email us directly at [email protected], and we'll be happy to get any specific issues resolved for you. We've been in business a LONG time, and while many local retro gaming stores come and go, we have been in business for almost 20 years, and at Game Over, customer service, great selection, and great perks such as rewards program help set us apart from any others. Each of our stores is packed with over 20,000+ games, and selection varies daily as we're constantly buying in new inventory! We hope you give us a chance to figure out what went wrong here and we'll do all we can to make it right! Thanks!
Negative experience: Store itself is pretty cool and the employees are nice too. The store manager Raul is rude and unhelpful so I will not return or recommend.
Thanks for reaching out, and sorry to hear about this experience! Please feel free to email us details on this situation to [email protected], and we'll be happy to see what we can do to help resolve any issues. Glad you like the store overall, and we hope you give us another chance and come back again soon!
Fantastic experience: This place has so much cool stuff!
Thanks for those kind words! Glad you like our store, and we hope to see you again soon!
Negative experience: A lot of good product but everything is way overpriced!!! Will not recommend
Positive experience: Nice staff. Decent selection of games.
Thanks for the kind words and support! Hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: They have a great selection of games.
Thanks for your business & support!
Fantastic experience: Came over here to get a battery replacement for my 3ds! Keon was super chill & helpful with me :D
Glad to hear about your 5-star visit! We hope to see you again soon!
Fantastic experience: My kids love this place especially when they have tournoment
Thanks for the great review! We look forward to seeing you again soon!
Fantastic experience: Really nice workers fair prices and good posters this is my go to spot for retro games!
Thanks for your business and support! May the force be with you!
Fantastic experience: Great Employees at this Store! Very helpful in-person, or over the phone. Knowledgeable, helpful & respectful staff. Well stocked store! Plenty of parking at this location too. I'm editing/adding to my review, after reading some others regarding the Game Over returns policy...over the phone, before I ever went to their store, I was told there is a 14 days return policy. The details are simple; if you buy an item & then it doesn't work properly after you take it away from the store, come back & Game Over will replace it, if available, or give you in-store credit, to get something else, but they do not give refunds. Imo, that's fair enough.
Fantastic experience: SO COOL! I got my first retro console (a sega genesis) from this place! I found some of my FAVORITE games here!
Positive experience: Friendly staff. Great retro game selection. Fair prices.
Negative experience: Might’ve made this my new go to spot, but with the distance it is from me I like to call and check availability before driving all the way out (>30 miles). But I’ve yet to call and be answered.
Thanks for reaching out, and sorry to hear about your trouble in getting in touch with us! We do answer phones in the store anytime during business hours 11-8, however, at times it does get very busy and anytime we are already on the phone, anyone else calling does have to hold or call back as each store only has one phone line. Thanks for your patience and understanding, and if the phone line is busy or takes longer than a few rings to pickup, please just try back later. Thanks for your business and support!
Fantastic experience: Nice local spot. The guys were very helpful and most important honest. Good stuff fair prices.
Fantastic experience: Good selection of games and decent prices. Customer Sevice is great as well
Fantastic experience: Really nice selection of things and a neat corner for local artists, has lots of cute stuff
Positive experience: Have to hands down give the white guy that works in the morning a shout out, forgot his name but he wears glasses, and usually bright colored clothing. Anyways dude always has a answer for my question and a price that follows. Now for the actual review for this place, I'd say I mostly like it because they have just about almost all the things you would need for almost any console if your collector plus a decent size library of games. Could use more gamecube games but as for the rest for collection it's pretty vast. The only thing I didn't really like was they weren't able to transfer products between stores , so for instance if one of there stores near Baytown/Galveston i believe had a copy of game I was looking to get they couldn't have it delivered to there location to save me the trip but I assume because it's a relatively small business some things just aren't possible. On another note they do seem to have some rare games in-stock at a decent price almost as competitive as Amazon. The upside you can actually test and resurface any games they have before you purchase.
Fantastic experience: If your looking for old school consoles or games this is the place to go
Fantastic experience: If you enjoy retro video games this place is the place to go.
Fantastic experience: Great time Raul was very helpful very nice told him I'll start going there instead of Gamestop
Fantastic experience: Got a Tupac Funko love them
Fantastic experience: Had a really good experience with Keon answered my question and went above and beyond what he’s asked to do 10/10
Fantastic experience: Fun place. Went here to buy some used PS3 games for my cousin who lives in Jamaica. Great deals and very helpful staff.
Fantastic experience: Came in for a PS1 game right before they closed and they were super friendly. We found a good one - so are happy with their selection and their service!
Fantastic experience: One of the employees, Daniel, worked hard to help me find a Nintendo DS game that I've been looking for forever! Even if it wasn't at this location, they still helped out and called the store on Southwest Fwy to hold the game for me :) Definitely coming here again for hard to find games!
Fantastic experience: Very nice customer service, large selection of games, and very nice couch
Negative experience: This store doesn't do any deals or any price adjustments, prices stay the same.
Fantastic experience: We are still living our best lives in the past! Love to come here for Wii games, Nintendo DS games, and all the nostalgic gems!!!!!
Fantastic experience: You should definitely go here. They have great deals and good service. Return policy is flexible as well!
Fantastic experience: Good place to find old wii games. The staff is very friendly.
Fantastic experience: Nice selection of retro games, has a comfy couch, helpful service
Negative experience: HORRIBLE service called and asked if they took gaming equipment like Razer brand they said yes then I showed up and was turned away, the two men working there not helpful. Never coming back.
So sorry for the bad experience and confusion here! While we DO buy/sell all TV/console gaming equipment (including some RAZOR products), we do NOT buy/sell any specifically PC gaming equipment of any brand (including RAZOR). Unfortunately, most Razor items tend to be made for PC gaming primarily, so only a small amount would be items we can buy/sell. Thanks for understanding, and sorry again for the mix up!
Fantastic experience: So many retro games.. Loved it. Will be back
Fantastic experience: Got a Jet Black GameCube there on March 20, and it works just fantastically ! It almost felt brand new. They have a ton of games there including complete GameCube games and more. Highly recommend you check it out.
Negative experience: by far the most expensive used game store ive been to, they also charge games that dont have covers or manuals the same price as complete games, they will also ask over full price for accessories, guitar hero controllers here can be over $100 for something you can find at a garage sale in better condition for $1
Positive experience: I go every now and then in search of Old games. The workers are guys like me who enjoy games to their extent and would defend their favorite game. I truly hope Game Over Grows bigger and provides gaming inside of many kind
Positive experience: Fantastic concept. I personally couldn't spend a lot of time there. My kids and husband are different story.
Fantastic experience: Not a massive collection but they do have a lot of great little gems to find. The staff member I had interacted with was so helpful and nice, even talked about some cool games. They really do try to have as much of everything as they can from ps4 to Sega Saturn to any old atari game. For many retro stores the pricing is actually super great. Love to have it in my area.
Fantastic experience: Yo this place has EVERYTHING up in here… Plus they’ll buy your old consoles
Positive experience: A good store to find some random rarities at but more often than not they have too much shovelware on the shelf that never moves. Trade in prices are not the best. Staff is always friendly though and willing to work with you within the limits of store policy
Fantastic experience: Awesome place to find classic games. Well stocked and very friendly staff!
Negative experience: Inventory is typical. Lots of forgettable retro games, very little desired inventory. Selling broken consoles for 50% off? Get them fixed and sell them regularly as refurbished. That's a bad look, lol. They got a nice little demo tv by the entrance of you wanna test something, which is nice. Feels like a flea market store, could use a little more to get ppl to hang out, possible for traffic, etc. Just always seems slow and unexciting...
Positive experience: This place has good deals on newer and retro game consoles along with a reasonable selection of games . Takes you down memory lane. They'll take your older vintage game consoles and game too.
Fantastic experience: My fiance sells used gaming systems he finds here and we always receive a decent amount for our trade ins. The staff is courteous & knowledgeable. The store is clean & organized & they have a vast selection of competitively priced items for a wide array of interests & gaming needs. Lots of cool & eclectic merchandise. If you haven't been, it is worth checking out! Thank you Game Over Videogames!
Negative experience: A manager at this location thinks it’s okay to tell eBay sellers to go kill themselves when they don’t want to accept his unreasonable offer on an item. I would strongly suggest not having your eBay username directly linked with your place of employment.
wow, that sounds horrible, and it definitely seems like you've got the wrong store here! That is not something we would ever tell a customer, plus our stores and managers do not sell on Ebay...please email us more details to [email protected], and we'd certainly love to help you get to the bottom of this so you can get to the correct company and revise this review. Thanks!
Fantastic experience: These guys are very nice. Just bought a WII-U for Christmas. All good!!? Thanks, Game Over Videogames !!!
Positive experience: Might have what your looking for? They buy your used gaming gear from you or you can buy their used gear.They have all kinds of different formats to choose from, so check them out if your looking for a peticular item, or sell them your unique item.Just wish the popcorn machine was working when I went.
Fantastic experience: OMG walking into this store took me back. I love the retro feel.
Fantastic experience: Great store with many classics. Was able to find two games i’ve been looking for!
Fantastic experience: Had a 20 year old N64 automatically and randomly resetting. Was going to buy another one, but we tried a $10 jumper pack and it fixed the issue. They had what we needed and knew what we were talking about. Glad to know this shop is nearby!
Positive experience: Has a good selection of common and easy to find games. There is also a great section of art for sale and some strategy guides. The prices for the uncommon and "rare" games is way higher than if you would just buy online. I really wouldn't recommend going there unless you want your consoles repaired..
Fantastic experience: Decent selection. Good prices. They were very nice and helpful.
Fantastic experience: Cashier was super nice and informative. So nice in fact, I actually stood and chatted for a bit when I normally avoid social interaction. He also made sure before I hurried out the door, to let me know I have a 14 day return policy if one of my games doesn't work :)
Fantastic experience: Great fast customer service friendly staff, decent and fair prices!!!!
Fantastic experience: Great place. Have all kinds of old games, consoles and parts
