Video Game Geeks

Experiencia fantástica: Very friendly and helpful

Experiencia fantástica: Came here after visiting the other main retro game store in Orange County the day prior and I must say this place was a lot nicer. In terms of selection there’s a good chunk of stock available for everything from NES to Switch 2 and they have a pretty darn massive selection of Switch games for sale. A bit of a gripe is how many games they have leading to it being hard to actually read all the games or check their prices. They definitely need some more shelves just to hold all the NES, PlayStation, and Wii U stock they have. In terms of price, prices are pretty good. Is day on average about $0.50 to $5 above market value, and again I’m always happy to pay that much to support a local business and get the game in hand in that moment. The staff were… there. It was a bit weird that they were spending all of their time in the repair room but they did at least ring me up. Compared to the Game Gems over in Tustin this place however has much better stock and much better selection with much better prices as well. If you’re in the OC area I’d say this place is one of your best bets for buying retro games.

Experiencia fantástica: Picked up a vita, red dead 1/2/undead and traded in stuff for store credit. Pretty good retro store reasonably priced

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent service and the workers are just so helpful with any questions or concerns you might have.

Experiencia fantástica: Great clean store and have alot to offer in games. The employees are knowledgeable

Experiencia fantástica: Saturn collector. Wow it was cool to see a few of the golden eggs in one spot! Price was fair to market and owner knows his games. Very cool!

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing owner. He was kind and helpful and gave us a nice price for a game. Would definitely come back.

Experiencia fantástica: Super cool store with caring and professional staff, as well as a great inventory. A small but cool thing I noticed was that they actually test each game you want to purchase before even selling it to you. Some may say it should be a given, but I've never seen Gamestop do that ‍♂️. Stopped by to hopefully find a few PS2 and Xbox 360 games and walked out with great finds for both!

Experiencia fantástica: Service was really good. Also prices are incredible. Huge variety of games from the PS1 to the Xbox 1. Nintendo games from NES to the Switch. Games function great and people are kind. Highly recommend to anyone looking for games.

Experiencia fantástica: Traded in some old games I had for some newer ones. The staff were very friendly and helpful. It's great that there is a good sized selection of games and consoles, all from retro to more modern ones, so there is something for every gamer here.

Experiencia fantástica: It has been my go-to place since 2018 ️

Experiencia fantástica: I had a bunch of game cartridges and misc playing cards such as magic and some pokemon cards. I went into the store with the intent or hope that I would sell the items as I was hurting for some gas money and the gentleman who helped me informed me they didn't deal with cards but he did offer more for my items than I expected so I gave him the cards anyway and I hope he can make some money off them but overall I left the store a happy person primarily because I was treated well and the no hastle straight forward transaction was greatly appreciated. I recommend giving them a try before going anywhere else.

Experiencia fantástica: Went there about a week or so ago for the first time and I was very impressed. The guys running the shop were very friendly and helpful not only to myself, but everyone in the store. They even went through the effort to double check and see if the games I was purchasing worked on older systems. Very cool to talk to and didn't try to upsell or anything like that. Pricing was fair and service was great!

Experiencia fantástica: I just bought 1 pack just 4$ One Piece TCG: Japanese - The Azure Sea's Seven OP-14 just today

Experiencia fantástica: super kind and cool people!

Experiencia fantástica: Buena atención y gran surtido de video juegos

Experiencia fantástica: I love this store. I always feel welcomed and the cost of the games feel justified. I know I’m not getting ripped off and they’re fair. They don’t try to upsell you and even offer decent alternatives to problems to save money. I bought a SP with a box and paper work, Pokemon red and yellow for around 350.

Experiencia fantástica: The game store is clean, the folks there are very friendly and helpful. Main attractions are the variety of games to check out. My friends and i came down from LA to OC area to check out all the retro game stores and this store by far exceeded our expectation. They're knowledgeable and friendly. This store not only sell games but they also sell gaming consoles, game accessories, Keychain accessories, and game guides. I believe they also do game repairs as well. Overall my experience here is very good, my friends and i left with games and guides. We will come by again in the future. Thank you.

Experiencia fantástica: Really awesome video game store that my 12 year old LOVES! The owner and employees are super helpful and friendly, the store is CLEAN and it's always wonderful (as a parent) to find a $70 game your kid has been dying to get for almost half the cost (or at least $20 bucks cheaper if new(er)). Can't recommend this store more if I could!!

Experiencia fantástica: Went into this place, still is great. May they live long and prosper.

Experiencia fantástica: Never had a bad experience. Sold a gameboy advance sp once. Got a good price for it. I sell my games here a lot because no other place I know pays as well as these guys. And they’re fun to chat with and aren’t biased on video games. I ask about a game and they tell me what I need to know. I live a couple miles away and don’t have a car. The walk is always worth it. Because whether I’m buying or selling I know I’m gonna get a fair deal. If you got games collecting dust. See how much they’re worth here. They check the current prices for these games and always go for the middle. They don’t low ball you. And the owner is a great guy. Very knowledgeable on games and always happy to help with any questions on a game.

Experiencia fantástica: Nice people who work there! Pretty chill and they gave me a free Sega Game Gear bag for my Game Gear when I asked if they had a case for mine! 100% would recommend to go if your near by!

Experiencia fantástica: Good place

Experiencia fantástica: Really cool spot. They have a great selection of games... And they sell hot wheels

Experiencia fantástica: Came to this place back in August and I absolutely love this place the owner and staff are all super cool, Greeting from Las Vegas!

Experiencia fantástica: I appreciated the customer service from the owner. I bought a 2nd party ps3 controller and started to have issues after I brought it in he took care of me asap. I appreciate the patience and understanding thanks for the help!

Experiencia fantástica: Great place to find new and retro game consoles and games. I come here for all my video game needs. If you're into playing card games they also offer some stuff. The staff is super knowledgeable, eager to help, and extremely nice. I'll keep on coming here and play their arcades.

Experiencia fantástica: Best game store in LA/OC Prices are at market and the owner and workers are amazing. I always come here whenever I’m in the area. They are miles in front of the competition.

Experiencia fantástica: Cool and chill shop. Employees are nice and helpful. Tons of games, just picked up a few for my 360 that I just got started up again. Will come again in the future.

Experiencia fantástica: Everyone was hella helpful! Great selection of games and really fair prices! Glad to see places like this keeping the love of the game alive. Keep it up guys

Experiencia fantástica: I've been coming here since it opened here on Ball & Brookhurst, there's a reason these geeks stayed open and Gamestop went under.

Experiencia fantástica: Had the Rock Band Games that I was looking for at a cheaper price: Amazon will be charging too much:

Experiencia fantástica: It was cool I got a psp for a great price

Experiencia fantástica: Started coming here 20 years ago before they moved to ball and brookhurst. Came back to California and stopped in to see what changed. New owner is great. Very friendly, super helpful.prices are fair. My kids enjoyed talking with him about stuff.

Experiencia fantástica: Been to this shop few times. The staff is friendly, personable, and professional. They have a good variety of common and rare games. Overall the last few visits I've gotten some banger common games like Lord of the Rings Return of the King at a reasonable price. I've also gotten some repairs done for my Dreamcast when no other repair or retro shops in the area would take the job. It was done very quickly, same day when reviews of other shops would be weeks. Overall this shop feels like it's run by legit honest people, in a time where many more retro shops are looking to over charge post pandemic/video game grading bubble. They also have Instagram where they update with their latest stock and various skits.

Experiencia fantástica: You want games, they got them! All of them! This is the place you need to go to buy your games, great people working there!

Experiencia fantástica: One of my favorite game store. Super clean and very friendly people. I visit this store at least once a week to check new inventory. Highly recommend this store for all retro and new games.

Experiencia fantástica: Reasonable prices and friendly staff members. They had a wide variety of games, but their Wii U games were a little lacking, but no big deal. If you buy most disc games, they’ll usually clean them and test them before finalizing the purchase. Would recommend, 5 stars.

Experiencia fantástica: We came in to look at a nintendo console, my son had certain amount to spend, the store clerk was very nice and offered him a bundle deal for a game AND console without going my son's budget. We will be returning to this store more frequently!

Experiencia fantástica: Great people, great prices. This place rocks

Experiencia fantástica: Great store / Great new owner / Clean, cool and friendly / Store looks great / Traded In some items for cash / Come in and take a look

Experiencia fantástica: المحل جيد جدا وا يتوفر كل الالعاب القديمة والجديدة بأنسب الاسعار انصح الجميع بزيارتة

Experiencia fantástica: Great selection of games nice and helpful workers

Experiencia fantástica: Went in tonight to sell my childhood that has been sitting in boxes in the closet for 20+ years. Everything was meticulously gone through and I was offered an extremely fair price for many different consoles and games. While it was tough to see it go, I know the patrons of this store will actually use and enjoy the items. Highly recommend this store to anyone seeking buying or selling video games and consoles.

Experiencia fantástica: The staff at Video Game Geeks is truly remarkable! The entire team goes out of their way to cover all the small details, and always do their very best with questions, regardless if they are technical or general game information. I highly recommend this business to anyone looking to get started with gaming all the way to the seasoned veteran players………Awesome customer experience ‼️

Experiencia fantástica: Great vibe, love the stores layout very easy to see what the store has to offer and very friendly customer service. And the prices were very reasonable. I am absolutely coming back!

Experiencia fantástica: Pretty cool store! I enjoyed looking at the old classic games. I'm happy that I purchased two games and a key chain. I will definitely visit again!

Experiencia negativa: I feel like I got robbed I gave them a almost new ps3 blue 2 controllers a Nintendo 64 with like 4 games one of them was Pokémon stadium some bs games and I only got 120 how much u want to bet they will sell the ps3 for like 130 and the Nintendo 65 for 120 to never going to this place

Experiencia fantástica: Excellent selection and fair prices on games.

Experiencia fantástica: Super happy with this place, bought 5 gems for the ps2 all with very tempting prices and the owner was super helpful and very nice. Great way to keep your customers come back.

Experiencia fantástica: Bought retro games from here a few times. Reasonable prices and friendly service. Also repair disc's. Hope this place never goes extinct because these spots are not everywhere.

Experiencia fantástica: So helpful and knowledgeable best game shop in oc!! Really good prices and he can even fix scratches on games. Can't speak more highly of this place

Experiencia fantástica: Amazing game selection, amazing prices, and amazing customer service. Highly recommend checking this place out if you’re looking to pick up games whether they are new releases or older ones.

Experiencia negativa: Very bad customer service I bought a console for my son and it had issues. It was already faulty and covered in scratches. My son wanted it but in the store it seemed to work. Then on the way home he was playing and mind you it was late afternoon right before closing time so I told my son that maybe it was not charged enough. He tried charging it all night but the next day same thing. Store was closed so we went next day. They tried to say that we broke it because they don’t sell them in that condition. They even asked if I have one more same color implying that I swapped it. Ridiculous excuse STAY AWAY!!! I’m never going back again Store Owner/Manager stated “Due to the condition of the device I can not take it back” I asked what do you mean Sir? He said “Scratches etc.” Really? well that’s exactly how it was sold to us Sir. Now if you wanted to be a good manager and customer service person you should know what you have in your store and the exact condition before selling it by making sure you take pictures, I have pictures of everything with dates on them too but you didn’t even ask for proof if the scratches were there. Well guess what Sir I will never step foot on your store again and I wish you the best of luck. I was very offended and disappointed when you said that hence why I left the store

Experiencia negativa: Never going back again Buy items damaged and they will blame you for it

Experiencia negativa: Worst customer service ever Stay Away You will buy items damaged and when you return for help they will blame you and treat you like a crook

Experiencia fantástica: Positive Energy. Great Crew! Thanks for the valuable information and support. Retuning Customer. :-)

Experiencia fantástica: I went in a few months ago to trade in some N64 games. The owner was really knowledgeable and gave me a very fair offer. I'd definitely go back there again and I'm planning to do so soon. Support a local business like this one! You won't regret it.

Experiencia fantástica: Awesome store with good prices. Got my ps2 here , thank you video game Geeks

Experiencia fantástica: Great service!!!

Experiencia positiva: Need to add more retro games.

Experiencia fantástica: Best place to go collecting retro games! The staff is extremely awesome!

Experiencia fantástica: Been to this store a lot of times, great service and great staff, clearly knows everything about how to maintain consoles and games, would love to go to this store again whenever I could. I also had a nice conversation with the owner and he is very nice. Highly recommend to go there if you are around the Orange County area. :) - TT

Experiencia fantástica: I first visited this place about 13 years ago. It’s my favorite video game store. It’s legit. The best prices and an always changing selection of games and consoles. From Atari to PS5, they have everything. Plus, they always clean the discs of used games so you get the best possible condition when you buy. The guy working here is super cool and knowledgeable. Please visit and support this store!

Experiencia fantástica: Gem of a store. Lots of retro stuff along with the latest. Staff is way cool also. Never pushy and easy to chat with. They know they're stuff here and you can get honest opinions about games you might be on the fence about buying. Thanks to the owner who allowed me to surprise my kid with some ps5 stuff for Xmas. He's a good dude and I'll continue to support their store.

Experiencia fantástica: No joke, best video game shop I been to. Some good finds, great prices and honest/helpful workers. Skip game stop and come here

Experiencia fantástica: Just want to shout out the great service here. I went in looking for a DS lite. They had lots of options, they really care about giving their customers a good working product. They were super patient as I tested everything out. Would gladly come back for any game systems or games again. Thanks for the great service!

Experiencia negativa: Drove 25 minutes there once. Got there at 6 and it was closed even thought it said it was open until 7 online. Next time I tried to go, I called them to confirm they were open and the guy said in a very rude tone that their hours are posted online. Not worth dealing with rude people.

Experiencia fantástica: Came to Anaheim to visit Disney for our Anniversary and decided to stop by a retro video game store. l've been planning to go and here is where I stopped. Great customer service & pretty decent pricing. They had a great selection of games to choose from. Got 3 games and am satisfied. Deciding if I should stop by again before I leave.

Experiencia fantástica: Helpful and friendly staff! Check them out for all your retro gaming needs.

Experiencia fantástica: Great place. I don’t think I’ve ever been to a place like this one before , I like the team, They are really cool, AND THEY DO HAVE GAME KNOWLEDGE… unlike some other places, where no answer would have been better, Here they make you feel welcome. and they’ve got tons of games, good deals, and everything is visible, hope there were more places like this one

Experiencia fantástica: The owner is a cool, social and very honest guy!!! I purchased a gamecube game that strangely didnt want to play on my wii, and he completely honored it by cleaning it for free, which fixed the playing issue. I also tried selling an expensive gamecube game and he recommended i try selling on my own so i could try getting more money for it.

Experiencia fantástica: Great store with a great selection of systems and games. Very helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommend this place.

Experiencia fantástica: My wife and I are visiting from Wisconsin and we stopped by today. An awesome store with great stock and prices! Customer service was top notch as well. If we are ever back in the area, we will for sure be back! Highly recommend.

Experiencia fantástica: Huge thanks to Aaron and Matthew at VideoGame Geeks for their exceptional customer service helping me find the right gaming console to buy. Both are extremely knowledgeable about generations of games and devices. The store also has a vast selection of new and used games at very fair prices. Will definitely be returning here in the future.

Experiencia fantástica: Best local game shop. Fair prices, honest owner, my favorite place to do business.

Experiencia fantástica: If your looking to get retro games from ps1/xbox and modern, this is the absolute best place to buy from, they'll clean and check if everything is working without even asking, amazing service and amazing selection of games and little decorations

Experiencia negativa: I went to this store and i asked some guy how much for the nes cib and he goes is empty am like ok i asked for something else and he goes o is empty am like come on why would u have empty boxes don’t recommend this store honestly dont have nothing is empty i don’t know how this guy sales

Experiencia fantástica: I've been to multiple video game stores and this place by far has been my best experience.

Experiencia fantástica: Decent selection. Fairly priced. Staff is helpful

Experiencia fantástica: Fantastic store full of nostalgia. Friendly staff willing to help customers.

Experiencia fantástica: Went here a couple of weeks ago and had the best conversation with the owner - what a nice guy! He was very kind to us. Great prices, selection. Recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: Came in just to check it out while waiting for food next door. Being a hot wheels collector i was pleasantly surprised to see some for sale. Ended up purchasing some cute pokemon pixel art. Purchased one of everyone they had!

Experiencia fantástica: have been shopping with this business for as long as I can remember! I have always had an AMAZING experience with them! I would 100% suggest this shop to everyone! Going there today actually! looking for a ps2!!!!!

Experiencia fantástica: Went to a few local retro game shops in OC, just to browse. Stepped into this place, and there it was.. a copy of Silent Hill 2 - with the booklets, and the disc had one minor scratch you could easily buff out. I walked around the store some more before buying it and there were a decent amount of great games without the scalper price. Most retro games have skyrocketed in price the last few years, and its getting hard to find good deals online. My boyfriend picked out a couple solid games, and was able to grab some new cords to replace old ones for our consoles. The staff was also very friendly and knowledgeable about the games. I walked out happy to be reunited with my favorite game from my childhood. Definitely recommend checking this place out if you're looking for a nostalgia fix or to add to your collection! :)

Experiencia fantástica: Attended a smash bros tournament this past weekend with my kids at Video Game Geeks. All staff was very helpful and professional, as close as perfect as you can get. Also purchased a few games very reasonably priced. My son was able to win 1st place on the tournament they hosted. Really surprised of the over all excellence of Video Game Geeks. Most definitely returning.

Experiencia fantástica: My go to gaming store.people are awesome and they have the best prices.

Experiencia fantástica: Great owner tries to actually help the customer and gives great advice about games and prices

Experiencia fantástica: awesome game classic games Nintendo super Nintendo Sega Genesis Gameboy Gameboy color

Experiencia fantástica: My son and I have been frequenting Video Game Geeks for some time now. My son has started collecting retro consoles and this is the place to go for good deals. Aaron has good knowledge and A+ customer service.

Experiencia fantástica: One of my favorite game stores to go shopping they have very reasonable prices and are extremely resourceful also gives you really good advice. Very knowledgeable in different games and how the mechanics work i strongly recommend this store over any game store ive been going here for about 14 year's it just gets better and better.

Experiencia fantástica: Very solid customer service, and the games are tested and cleaned before sold, so you know you have a working game! Would recommend, 5/5!

Experiencia fantástica: Traveled from New Zealand for a vacation in the USA - when I saw that this store was near the place I was staying, I made visiting this place a high priority. The staff were incredibly friendly and they showed me items that they didn't have on display like a mint CIB Zelda II. The prices tended to be pretty average according to Pricecharting - maybe with $3-5 extra which makes sense as they need to make money somehow. Looking forward to coming back next time I'm in the country

Experiencia fantástica: Nice and help

Experiencia fantástica: Great store, my husband and son prefer it over GameStop. Super helpful and friendly staff, highly recommend!

Experiencia fantástica: The best game store ever Aarron is really help ful I bring old game I don’t play for something I want and he recommend game for anyone can’t decide on what to get

Experiencia fantástica: Super cool store, super nice owner definitely worth a visit for any retro collector!

Experiencia fantástica: Super wholesome place, and the staff is very nice! Also a great selection of games for a wide variety of consoles :)

Experiencia fantástica: Really good selection on retro games and consoles as well as reasonable pricing. Has games for most of the consoles back in the day. The owner is very friendly as well. Had a nice convo with him concerning disc games and the store itself. Will be visiting as often as i can just to see if this store gets any games that I'm currently after.

Experiencia fantástica: EXCELLENT independent video game store! I've sold games and accessories before too here for a pretty good amount of credit. They have some harder to find and weirder old games for great prices too.
