Great customer service and practices safe covid protocols to keep customers safe.

This store has been absolutely wonderful in the last year with their handling of covid. Not only are they still taking it seriously, which sadly means only the front room is open for purchasing, but they have been kind and understanding to people who need other accommodations for both health and safety reason. As a collector, I respect their limitations on certain products so all customers can buy.

World of Games 2.0 is one of the best game stores ever. It’s super kid friendly! I saw the owner, Jason, go above and beyond to help some kids looking for Pokemon cards. As they were checking out he brightened their day even more by giving them each Pokémon stickers and a Pokémon book! They have a huge selection of old school video game systems, the BEST prices you can get anywhere- especially on Magic The Gathering cards, and the owners are the nicest people ever and actually care about their customers and it shows with the number of regular customers they have. Hands down you should go visit and support this local gaming store!

If 2.0 is any indication of how 1.0 was. No wonder they had to get a smaller location. COVID brought the worst out of people, and Red Beard behind the counter was no exception. There is better prices, and better people elsware. Do not. For ANY reason. Give this trash your money. The level of disrespect shown from my first visit. Was also my last.

Great customer service. I was looking for a Wii U and this was the only place who had one in stock. We got the game system home and realized the previous owner didnt reset the settings. So World of Games was very helpful in getting us on track to have a up and running operating system. Thank you! Very helpful and answer any questions via fb messenger very promptly!

Most friendly place on earth when it comes to playing magic the gathering. World of games creates an awesome environment for people of any skill level to have fun while playing mtg. Been a regular off and on for 3 going on 4 years

I have been stopping and shopping here since the original xbox was the new console on the block. The staff is wonderfully helpful. They have an extensive knowledge of all things gaming. I absolutely love this store. Over several years and hundreds of transactions I have always been given honest help and advice, offered fair prices in all purchases and found something I hadnt expected. My online purchases have been great too, just prefer the brick and mortar.

Great shop! MTG, DnD, boardgames, retro video games, supplies. Small assortment of comics and toys.Staff is super nice and helpful. They have stayed open after hours more than once so I could make a run to grab needed items.Lots of room for gaming in the back.Go check them out! Stay for a game or grab some packs. Have fun.

Its a fun place to go to escape all of the other corporate grips on the gaming industry when it comes to used and new games. World of Games is just a fun place to shop. The staff is knowledgeable when it comes to games, board games, computers, trading cards, and comics. And they ACTUALLY care about what they sell you, making sure that you will be happy with your purchase. Lastly I just love the care that they put into their used content. From buffing all of the used games just like new and making sure that their products are clean and ready to use. I can recommend World of Games to anyone who is a collector of retro consoles/games or to someone trying to get their hands on the latest releases.

Fun store! Lots of variety. They have video games, including a few rare ones behind the counter, collectible figurines, trading cards, comics, gaming books and even some adorable plushies from a local source! Staff greets you immediately, offers you assistance, and is knowledgeable about their variety of merchandise. They dont hover and force you to speak with them though, which is great since theres a lot to peruse here.

A local shop with lots of character to satisfy classic video game, Magic, and other collectable needs. The owner is very nice, and I like stopping in to see how stock has shifted each time Im in the area.

At first I was skeptical when I heard the original owner Phil had left and that there were new owners, but my concerns were quickly eradicated when I visited a few months ago to find that the new owners were some of the nicest people Ive encountered in a store. They are also working to make the place more welcoming to women and people who may have felt a bit alienated by the atmosphere in the past, which is really nice to see and gives the store a breath of fresh air in a way.

Good store with great prices on cards. Plenty of table room in the back for playing card games and video games up in the front. Ive been going to this store for 7 years and have never had a bad experience. Staff is always ready to answer questions about games and helpful. I highly recommend this store.

Review №23

Always a breath of fresh air when a gaming store is an all around gaming store. From a PS4 bundle, all the way back to a Caleco vision bundle, and a little of everything between. Not just the super expensive hard to find, but simple exciting finds within a casual gamer budget. It has one of the most varied collection of video games in the greater metro. A wide selection of card based games (Im not familiar with those games). And of course board games, from the newest table top games, to various collector board games. FINALLY, a game store that proudly sells the games we look for, they had the Spy vs Spy board game from the 80s. Board games from the 80s based on video games, retro games that are hard to find. Its about time a store can get on board that people do look for these kind of games. Thanks World of Games for including ALL gaming enthusiasts! We will be back.

The store itself was pretty cool, found a few console games we hadnt heard of before. The 2 guys working seemed a little awkward and barely spoke to us while we were there. Not necessarily rude, just awkward? Either way it was a cute place, would still recommend

Review №25

Made a trip to store to see if they would take a trade in of a PS3 accessory and also with an intent to shop and see what they have for older video game systems. When I came up to the trade in counter they refused to acknowledge that I was there and when I started speaking the guy behind the counter acted as if it was a huge burden to be asked a question. He then when on to tell me he would not take the accessory in a very rude way. At that point I left the store without looking at any games and will not be returning. All it would have taken is a little politeness and you could have had a sale and potential returning customer. Too bad looking at a piece of paper on the desk was much more important.

Great for vintage and current video games and systems. Huge selection of MTG. Unfortunately, I misinterpreted their photos and thought they had more in the table top RPG realm. Will visit again.

I just moved from out of state and was interested in what the store had to offer. Tons of vintage gaming system consoles, games, board games, and of course magic the gathering singles and booster packs. Staff was incredibly welcoming and friendly and the store has a lot to offer. I will definitely be becoming a regular here

This place is just awesome. We brought our kids on for Pokemon Cards and they were the cheapest in the area. They also have vintage games and an awesome area in back setup with tables where kids of all ages can play card games. Very family friendly and a wonderful addition to the community! I highly recommend World of Games.

Worst service Ive ever had over the phone, called five times over a half hour and no one ever answered. ANY service wouldve been better than none. Turning down business by the phone call. And the few of you expecting me to be calling AFTER four are completely wrong, I was calling around 2:50/3:00 P.M.and never was I put on hold or asked to wait.

Review №57

Not sure why people are saying the employees are rude because Ive been going to this place for several years and have never once seen/heard an employee treat anyone even remotely disrespectfully. Heck, theyve time and again gone out of their way to accommodate me(and other customers).The store has a great selection of video games(new and old), card games and board games. If youre looking for comics or collectibles the selection is good but not great. The prices on games can be hit or miss.The store itself is a bit messy but Im sure that wont bother some people.All in all Id say its a great store, Anyone complaining about rude employees is probably full of crap or was rude to the employees and got the treatment they deserved.

Review №58

Outstanding selection of classic and modern video games and systems, as well as a good collection of boardgames. World of Games runs recurring gaming events as well. The one area where I was disappointed in was the comic section. They had a decent selection of new titles but their back issue boxes where on shelves in cubby holes. Customers had to pull long boxes out of the cubby holes that were sometimes above head level in order to peruse the boxes.

This is something right out of a Game Chasers or Flea Market Madness video.Great selections, a huge amount of boxed games on the wall and lose nes, snes and n64 games on an island. They also have a few stacks of manuals for various platforms.Prices are great, and the owner is still willing to make a deal.Only criticism I can give; instead of wrapping the boxed games in plastic, use plastic cases. I passed on a few items due to my lack of understanding the difference between sealed and open games.
