Soon to rebrand from "game" to "merch"

Definitely not always, I remember buying games and accessories there many moons ago!

They were good before (and please correct me if I've got this wrong) EB bought them and did a "reverse takeover". Since that point they've been going downhill.

Game doesn't exist anymore where I live, but the last thing I bought from a similar store (down to overpriced games and being mostly about merch) was a 8bitdo controller several years ago. I was there, price was not excessive, and it was slightly more convenient than having one delivered.

Beyond that... I went a couple times just to pick up a free event pokémon on 3DS, and nothing else, and I think the last actual game I got from them must have been Order of Ecclesia on the DS.
