This place has turned into a real joke. For starters, every time I walk in here, the layout of the store seems to get more and more crowded with toys and other random collectibles instead of the real item it should be filled with: Video games. When walking in, it’s borderline claustrophobic trying to fit into the small aisles, and it’s extremely stuffy and hot to the point it makes shopping unbearable. Next, there is little to no PS2/PS1/GameCube/Xbox games, when I remember they used to have at least one wall full of each; when they opened. The shelving is now filled with PS4, Xbox One, and switch titles, however the pricing is priced higher than GameStop; I understand they are a small business and need to pay employees/overhead/etc, but at the consumer’s expense; it makes more sense to go to GameStop across the mall and get current generation games cheaper. I thought this was supposed to be a classic game store, not anymore. Collectibles aren’t my thing, but I thought a classic videogames store would be just that; classic games, with a good mix of new/old. I decided to shop here yesterday as I was in the Albany area for a family reunion and I figured I’d stop in; never again. On top of all that, the staff is extremely rude and would not acknowledge any customer in the store unless you actually walk up to the counter. Never again: I’ll stick to my local classic game store in Johnstown to me, the Game Guys. Night and day experience compared to this joke.
