VideoGameX

This place brought me back to my childhood gaming experience. Definitely will be wanting to see this place expand more and bring in the crowd.

Tweaker with a bald spot told me to fuck off and shut the door and hid behind the desk talking smack for no reason

Nice guy, but very unprofessional. I really wish he took cc instead of just cash. Once he complained about the «evils» of GameStop and their greed and what not. But then comparing his prices, his are actually higher! That’s a little hypocritical if you ask me.
He really should just hire someone else to run the store for him. I don’t know what his code of conduct is, if any. But he really needs to step it up and not let his personal opinions and beliefs get in the way of making a sale. I’m surprised this store is still in business to be honest.

Douchebags. They spend their days spamming craigslist with their overpriced junk.$ 40 for a ps2 network adapter, knockoff controllers for $ 37, psp movies for $ 200.

Was really disappointed on there prices for nes games. Everything was pretty much $ 5-​$ 10 over priced. Double dragon 2 for $ 25 is a lil too steep whene you can easily get it for $ 15-​$ 19 in great condition. Wont be returning here!!!

This is a nice little video game shop tucked away in a strip mall in Huntington Beach. For the most part, it’s like any other. But the reason I’m rating it this high is due to two factors:
1) They have a substantial selection of games, both new and used.
2) That have many rare and original games, such as a many of the original and hard-​to-​find Nintendo games.
The gentleman behind the counter was friendly, the building was clean and organized, and the selection was great. Overall, a nice little place.

I went into this establishment to simply find a PS2 controller and left with the knowledge that there is someone worse than GameStop.

Went in with a friend saw a huge selection of old and new games a very impressive selection of import titles they even had games for the NEO GEO system and a bunch of arcade cabinets for members which by the way membership is free so what can you complain about all their products are tested and work great found a copy of ultimate marvel 3 for ps3 when no one else will stock that game and while the cabinets as few as they are have solid titles inside of em like persona 4 arena ultimax (great game) and ultra street fighter iv and for you nostalgia freaks they even had svc chaos capcom vs snk all in good working condition me and my buddy were glued to street fighter before finally making our purchase the store clerk was a bit shy but eventually we were engaged in great conversation and the guy really knew his stuff all in all i would recommend this place to any video game enthusiasts and also stop on by for the fighting game tournaments they’re great!

I wanted to like this place and gave it so many chances over the last two years, however I’ve come to the conclusion that it just flat out sucks. Not ‘oh this place is bad, this place needs help” no, this place is just flat out awful.
They have a varying selection, most games have god-​awful printed cover art that is not genuine, most at a terrible resolution with tons of pixelation, however some do use the genuine cases.
It’s just not worth it, especially when they (one employee aside from the owner? I don’t know, I only ever see one young guy there) has zero product knowledge.
You’re seriously better off shopping on Ebay, Craigslist, or god forbid a GameStop.

These guys insist on being rude and unhelpful. Furthermore, they don’t know what they’re even selling or how much to sell it for half the time. I would rather buy from a Gamestop. At least they keep WORKING items and have a consistent pricing structure.

Came in to check out the selection of vintage games. Ended up having a very awkward experience.
Clerk would not leave me alone to browse the games in peace. Kept asking generic filler questions even though I told him I just wanted to look.
I found some used video cables for a PS2 for $ 4.99 but the clerk told me they «might not work» and that he had another set of used cables that «do» work behind the counter for $ 17.99. No thanks! How about using one of those used PS2s for sale to TEST THE CABLE before attempting to rip off your customers like that.
Clerk seemed well intention ed but was ultimately a very awkward shopping experience. I also don’t really like the fact that the price of the Super NES, NES, Gameboy etc games on the shelves was for a cartridge only and did not include their cheaply made, copyright infringed, printed artwork. Nope, that’s an extra $ 9.
I love old games and their selection was good, but the experience left a bad feeling enough that I won’t be back.

I wanted to like this place, but unfortunately I had a bad experience the last time I came. The employees are sadly pedogynous. I brought my son in to buy a new videogame for getting good grades on his trimester report card. I asked for the employees help and he denied my purchase of an m-​rated videogame because my son was very young. He suggested a Nintendo game instead. I believe it is absurd to tell a grown man how to parent their child and I will never return to this store ever again.

Been to this place for an interview and the guy named Steve didn’t know what the heck he was talking about even the other guy named Josh. If you are going to run a video game store make sure u know what u talking about. What makes u think this store is any better than gamestop or bestbuy or anything like that if u have bad customer service! Plus the store is in the corner where u don’t even see it! Overall this place needs better management and better workers or whoever is running the place. U shouldnt be running a business if u don’t know or stutter to answer a question when a customer ask u! I would never come here ever again! I think this place is garbage and rather go to gamestop where they have better CUSTOMER SERVICE!

Came here to try to purchase a rare and very expensive classic video game console as a surprised Christmas gift for my husband. When I asked to purchase the console, one of the two workers there picked up the phone and called somebody, must be the owner. Thirty seconds later, he hung up the phone and told me «sorry, it’s not for sale right now.» I asked «why?» and all I got back was a dumb grin and an idiotic shoulder shrug from the worker. It didn’t make sense! Why would you have the system on display with a clear visible price tag and not selling it? Was it already sold? A shoulder shrug is not an explanation!!! What kind of business is this? Needless to say, I won’t be back. My husband and his friends won’t be back, either.

I’ve been here on I believe five separate occasions now. I’ve been collecting a bit more seriously starting three years ago I would say and am so happy to find a store that really services all of my needs in so many ways.
First I want to compliment the display of games along the wall. I LOVE that they have cases out on the floor for you to physically grab and read the backs of for the NES, SNES, 64, Dreamcast etc. It’s nice to find something I’m not familiar with and read more about it. I’ve lost track of how many stores keep everything in glass cases completely out of reach when all I want to do is read more about the game. A little thing like this goes a long way. Visiting Games For Less they always hover during my entire visit and always seem agitated when I inquire about a game in their case or they just simply don’t know anything about the game I’m asking about.
Secondly I think their trade-​in value is extremely fair. I’ve traded on four out of my five visits and never once felt cheated on what I was given back, it’s always exactly what I’m hoping for. Especially considering that I constantly keep track of game prices, it’s always well matched. Also I see others complaining about their pricing but honestly I don’t think it’s bad at all. When my girlfriend says she’s dying to play a game on any given day I always know that we can hit this place up and not feel like I’m getting horribly ripped off unlike Game Geeks who have a great selection but their prices are insanely high.
Third and most important is the selection. Lots of incredible stuff here on display and all available for purchase. My recent two investments this past year happened to be a Turbografx 16 and more recently a Neo Geo CD. I was not only happy that they in fact carried games but that the owner happened to personally know a lot about them. I can’t keep count of how many retro game stores I’ve called asking about Neo Geo or Turbografx games only to get a, «What? Ummmm I don’t know, hold on,» type of response. Happened today actually when another game store was almost upset that I asked if they had anything Neo Geo related.
Overall as you can tell I’ve had nothing but great experiences here, I’ve brought a couple of friends in to check the place out and always recommend it when I can. Tonight my girlfriend and I enjoyed an extremely fun night playing Fatal Fury Special on the Neo Geo CD with two Neo Geo AES Arcade Controllers and it’s all thanks to this store. Looking forward to returning soon and grabbing some more games!

The owner of this store, Joshua, is a complete jerk! He likes to cuss, scream and hang up on customers! He has the temper of a raging hippo! For anyone debating on setting foot in this store or attempting to call I strongly advise you against it. DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM VIDEOGAMEX!!!

The people working here and the rude person who answered the phone (who I assumed was the owner) are the perfect example of how not to run a business. You couldn’t pay me enough to shop here. GameStop is far superior in prices and service. If you want over priced retro garbage sold to you by rude people that treat you like trash you’ll love this place.

Whoever is working as I’m leaving this comment should be fired (April 1, 2014, 6:29 PM). Hanging up on a customer who asks if the store has a game = bad for business.

This place is awesome! If you are looking for THE place for retro video games then this is it! I found a TON of hard to find stuff I’ve been looking for, and the prices are very reasonable. Plenty of import games too. The owner is super friendly and extremely knowledgable.

I’ve been coming into this store for over a year, wishing them the best, and hoping to find better deals than I’ve seen «elsewhere.» But today’s visit was a thoroughly disgusting experience…
First, and foremost, I get along professionally with just about everybody… I’m only prefacing this review with that statement because I’ve never been so unnecessarily infuriated with a store owner in my whole life…
Upon entering, the owner greeted me and asked me if I was looking for anything particular, etc… I said I was just looking, to which the owner inquired what game system I had. I mentioned I had a PS3 and that I had been coming in for some time now. Not seeing many used games for less than offered «elsewhere,» I asked how business was going. The owner (a super-​hyper and loud guy in his 40s with a turned baseball cap) perked up, swiveled his chair toward me and went right into a verbal tirade that went something like this:
«Oh man, we’re doing just fine. We keep out of all that corporate stuff and just do our own thing. I mean we’re not even playing the game. We don’t pay any attention to stupid reviews on Unilocal or other homos.»
I had been smiling until now. I was a little stunned that I was hearing this come from the owner’s mouth to a customer. Mind you, I am not gay, nor am I homophobic; but clearly that comment had no place in the exchange. But it continued…
«Those corporate homos can sodomize each other over profits all they want. We don’t even deal in profits! But the bible tells us the sodomites…» blah blah blah…
As he continued to mangle actual scripture to fit his spiteful agenda, I walked passed his counter and headed toward the back exit (from which I entered.) As I passed him, I interrupted with, «Enough, enough, you just ran me right out of your store with that nonsense.» He jumped up and followed me out, turning his perceived anger and bile toward me, shouting at me that I need to read the bible and calling me a «tough guy» for no applicable reason.
He followed me outside and hovered near his door as I went to my car 10 feet away. I could sense he wanted to fight me. Actually fight me. I asked why he is still harassing me and that I had left his store and was on public property. He screamed to me that I needed to wake up and to read a bible (clearly assuming I was homosexual.)
As I got my cell phone out to begin recording the judgmental tirade, he closed and locked his back door and disappeared back into the shop.
Another reviewer below (James P) gave reference to this owner’s off-​putting and bombastic behavior that has evidently turned away others.
I have no bias or angle here. Simply sharing a shockingly awful experience that has me wanting to expose this owner’s full personality and intolerant agenda against not only corporate America (something I agreed with him on), but clearly random «homos» and «sodomites.» Some (whom share his political views) might see his behavior as commendable, although it remains an affront to Christians that practice kindness and tolerance. I just want to expose the anger that hides in this sad man’s heart. Totally unnecessary experience. All from asking how his business was doing… Good thing he doesn’t care about Unilocal reviews.
Now, I’m heading over to GameStop, then home to have heterosexual sex with my wife.
