Review from Anson P.
Roanoke, VA
2/7/2008
This place closed down awhile back. They only have one location in Fairfax. Was a member since '95. That's right, old school. If my mom hadn't given away my Nintendo, I'd still be playing it, with games purchased from here. Super Dodgeball, best Nintendo game ever.

Review from Ken C.
Chantilly, VA
2/7/2008
According to their website, they are no longer at this location, but I'll write a review here anyway.
This isn't your daddy's videogame shop -- you want retro? They've got it, as far back as the SNES and Genesis era. You want now? Sure, they've got that too, and they can do you one better : they have IMPORTS.
Yes, that means you'll see the latest next-gen system here first, before your corporate-owned Gamestop or EB Games. Not only that, if it's a Japanese game that you're looking for, they'll have it here first.
This shop, tucked away in a strip mall off of Braddock and Backlick Road in Annandale, is a small treasure for import videogamers like myself. Packed with consoles from SNES up to the current generation (PS3, XBOX 360, etc. as of this writing), you can try out each system to your heart's desire.
But that's not all -- if you're into games from the land of the rising sun, and you've gotta have it now, this is your stop. Games from Japan often don't make it here, and if they do, sometimes it's years later. DDR was huge among import gamers YEARS before it even appeared on US shores, as well as Guitar Freaks (think Guitar Hero but by Konami) and other rhythm games. Music games not your thing? No problem, there are Japanese RPGs, fighting games, driving games, etc. Something here is sure to tickle your fancy.
There is plenty of merchandise here for the discerning anime and manga fan, ranging from t-shirts, to drawing books, and wall scrolls.
While I prefer to do my importing online, this is still a great shop for the import gamer.
Cons: parking here sucks, especially since it's in the same shopping center as a Gold's Gym.
