This little known shop is a hidden gem for gamers. Go on a quest and find the treasures awaiting you here. They have just about all you would ever want or can find it. The owner operator is super nice for such a young fella. Knowledgeable and professional while having an old gamers soul. Check this place out, you wont feel it is a waste. Plenty of Covid safety, and caring Staff.

Very neatly organized and also the biggest inbox collection Ive seen in any store in ohio state yet, most of it is reasonably priced, I was able to score a cib game valued at 30$ for 25$ which is not too bad, store also has gamecube demo kiosk which is really cool.Overall clean neat and organized with nice helpful staff and wide range of games

Beware of new in box goods, they sold me a counterfeit Sony Dualshock 4 controller as new and official on their ebay store. Came in a very convincing box, looked legit, thought it was odd that it wasnt behaving right under linux but chalked that up to linux weirdness. Began having issues with the right trigger and contacted Sony since it was sold as a NIB item. Was told it was counterfeit. Paid nearly full MSRP for it and about what the going online store price was at the time, and am beyond the eBay return/contest window. So yay, I guess they really pulled one over on me.Not only are these counterfeit controllers of lesser quality and prone to weird issues, but the cheap battery packs used in them could be dangerous. Absolutely not worth the risk, and I would seriously question any other purchase from those who sell counterfeit products as new and genuine.

Just stumbled across this store today. Prices were more then fair, customer service was outstanding and the selection was top notch. However the icing on the cake was how neat and organized the store was, a lot of game stores are just a mess of games but this store is for the most part alphabetized which makes looking for that one special game all that much easier. But be warned I am positive you will not leave with only one game in hand.

My new favorite video game spot. They are very well-organized, clean, and contain a large selection. I was actually able to find fairly priced games I couldnt find elsewhere. The owner is incredibly nice as well. I could probably spend hours in there.

Great Store! So many hard to find games are available here, and at great prices. Amazing retro game selection. It is also the cleanest independent video game store i have ever been in. A Virtual Reality set up for customers to try. This store has it all. It is one of, if not the best independent game stores in Central Ohio.

I have started collecting again with my sons. We do a Payday ritual where we bounce from game store to game store to find our picks of the week. Well...their picks of the week. I kinda do battle for an hour until I pick what I want on a whim, lol. It is bonding time for us. The highlight of our week.Anyway, VGG is a new stop for us and an instant favorite. Customer service is honestly very important to us and they always deliver the best and make us feel at home. We like to know that the people we are buying from give a damn. They are ultimately running a business and profitability is key, but to interact with customers and make suggestions. To crack jokes and talk shop. That is what makes a game store an experience. Any shop, really. Obviously cant be done when ten people are in line waiting. We are the types to buy and bounce in that scenario. Out of respect for the rush and the folks in line. Understandable. Even then, Im sure we would get a smile, some eye contact and a thanks from VGG.As for other places...when nobody is in the store and you have nothing but time, yet you act like its the last place on Earth you want to be working at?...Pack it up and pass the torch to Video Game Galaxy. I wont smear a business by naming names, but some of yall are probably nodding in agreement....Video Game Galaxy is our number one spot after only a few trips. These guys are doing it right! Not sure if the guys who sit behind the counter own the joint or are employees, but they are leaps and bounds beyond the incompetent, uncaring, glassy eyed stoner fools that treat you like an annoyance elsewhere. I bust my knuckles every day at work to spend money on retro games and pay my bills. I share the spoils of my labor with my boys through gaming and the experience of the hunt, lol.Also, the store is super clean and very well organized. I dig that. Spreading the good word, fellas. Hoping yall become the new staple of our twin cities....because some of these fools done lost their way, lol. See ya next payday!5 stars rating.

Review №45

Video Game Galaxy is a pretty neat little shop. All kinds of retro games and toys. It was a nice touch for them to have an area of the shop for people to try out a VR system they have set up. Not a great selection as far as newer current generation titles but they havnt been open too long so maybe this will change. Staff have all been very knowledgeable and curtious everytime Ive stopped by to visit. The one thing Id have to ding them on is the quality of some of their used stock. They do offer returns on defective games and equipment within so many days with receipt. However a few of the ps2 games Ive picked up here for my collection were beyond repair. All in all I would not let that prevent me from going back. Would recommend, its always good to support your local game shops.
