I love this location of Game Over(ugh, stay far away from Northgate, though!) — the staff here is fantastic and friendly, and the store itself is well organized. There are monthly tournaments for retro games and(as with all used game stores) their stock is always changing so you may walk away with a gem you hadn’t expected to find. I collect plushies, and I’ve spent a fair bit of money on my habit at this location of Game Over — their plushie collection is always evolving, so if you find something you like I highly suggest picking it up that day :3

I’am extremely pleased that a shop like this that sells all old games of our childhood(My favorites N64, Gamecube, PS), have managed to find a perfect little spot outside of the Crossroads mall. If you’re a true gamer or want to share old games of your past with your kids today, Game Over is the place to go. Located outside of the mall right next to Barnes and Noble Bookstore, this little shop has alot of games for a decent price. Mind you most rare games are very high in price(50 – 100) for an old system like the PS, PS2, N64, etc but if you’re looking for a pretty common gamecube/xbox360 game, most are in the price range of 10 – 25 bucks. Not a bad deal considering Gamestop no longer sells those types of games anymore and you’ve been relying on ebay all this time to find possibly good deals on your old games. That is if they aren’t damaged and the seller on ebay is 100% legit. Game over is only one of 2 small stores in our area. You’ve got the Bellevue store(this one) & one in Seattle(The rest are based in Texas). I’m pleased this shop is so close to home because going all the way across the water to find a game i’m looking for isn’t what i call fun. Besides loving how convenient this shop is and how this is a local business(nothing like Gamestop), the employee’s at this location are very knowledgeable and friendly. Even if you can’t find what you’re looking for, they appreciate you stopping in none the less. The layout of this store isn’t very big but the games are conveniently displayed and is always clean. You got games on the walls but you also got some pretty snazzy glass cases where they store some cool figurines and unopened games to go googoogaagaa for. And besides games they also have accessories, clothes, boardgames and in the back you can see some local game art, that is a bonus! If you’re looking for Xbox One or PS4 games i warn you this is not the place to go. There is almost nothing of new games in their inventory. This is mostly dedicated to older games but they do have alot of Wii and 3DS games. Overall my experience has been pleasant and my friends all shop here so of course we’ll be back in sometime soon. I’m just hoping the next time i go in, they will have what im looking for(More in the PS, PS2& Gamecube section). Cause last time i went in, their GC section was pretty slim pickings. 4⁄5!

The staff members I have met are nice, and the store is great but the one thing is I bought a copy of a game for the xbox that was priced eight dollars higher than the copy for the playstation and when I asked why that was the staff could not give me a reason. They genuinely did not know yet would not give me the lower price which I strongly feel they should have. Other than that though it seems like a very nice place.

This is the best used games store to which I have ever been! Knowledgeable and very friendly. Their prices are about what you’d expect, but their return policy is great and they make the entire experience enjoyable!

To start off my Seattle trip, I came here to this Texas based retro game store right after getting settled with my hotel. Walking in, shelves with video games placed in alphabetical greeted me with a welcome by the store cashier at the time, Brian. I continued to browse and found that most of their more valuable games(mostly playstation JRPGs) were behind the counter or behind a glass case on the side of the shelves. On one corner, they have a little hangout spot with a television and a little couch. I did not see anyone hanging around there but it seemed pretty cool as they had some Japanese video game commercials playing as I was browsing their Atari selection. In addition to video games, Game Over Videogames also sells some gamer clothing. Looked at a few shirts and they seem pretty cool. I came back the next day contemplating on buying a PS One they had on display after buying a copy of Tales of Destiny and Mega Man Legends 2 from yesterday. I ended up buying it and found it to be in great condition alongside a PS One screen. To be sure, I double checked to see if the machine worked and Brian was able to hook it up further showing how in great condition it was. I also bought a Playstation memory card because mine tend to end up at Hogwarts or Narnia just from dropping it in my room. One little nitpick though is that the memory cards are not formatted when you buy them and have to delete the data on there yourself. Not a big deal but something to consider. Overall, I like this place a lot from their selection. I asked how often they have sales and from what I was told, Game Over Videogames tries to have at least one sale every month. I came in during the Labor day weekend and they had a sale of ‘buy two get one free’ which cleaned out their selection. I love the customer service these guys give(Thanks Brian!) and when I come on back to visit/live in the Seattle Area, I will be sure to come back with some friends.

First off this is a Gamer’s Paradise; Vast selection, of Consoles, Games, and Accessories. They have everything from Classic era to Modern era Gaming goods. The staff is very approachable and knowledgeable about almost every single Item in the Store. Whereas Gamestop employees kind of look like ex cons or college kids who don’t really want to be there. Overall they give a good experience and provide a lot of quality used and new games. Great for anyone and everyone who grew up in the 80s/90s/00s.

A wall-to-wall video game nerds paradise! I really like this store! Great place very clean and organized. They have just about everything under the sun in this store however the ultra rare titles have escaped them at times. Most of the stock is current and up to date for used games. Plus the staff is very attentive and helpful!

Saw the sign when we drove into the mall parking lot and decided to stop in– what a treat we were in for! If you love video games from any generation, do yourself a favor and go into this store. The employees are knowledgeable and friendly, they have a cosy, well laid out environment with games organized by console AND chronologically, as well as any system you could ever think of. They allow you to try out the games in-store, and THEYHAVE A DISKCLEANER!!! I will definitely be back and am very exited to have found such a cool place today.

There used to be a retro video game store nearby called«Video Game Era.» They closed down for some reason, but like a phoenix rising from its ashes, Game Over has kind of taken its place. It’s a store that, like Pink Gorilla, specializes in older games. I like this place because they actually sort their items in chronological order of release for the most part. I saw stuff as old as the Atari 2600 and as new as the PS3 era. They also have a sizable collection of games for all these systems. My biggest complaint is that a large proportion of these games are shovelware and wouldn’t be worth very much. Prices can also be rather high on some used games, even ones that have no value like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. But the store seems to be doing everything else right, which is why I’m a fan. I did see some interesting gems in there like Final Fantasy VII and a Kingdom Hearts II poster. I just hope to see more must-have titles at this store in the future.

These guys are amazing! I traded in some old PS2 stuff for a GREAT price, way more than GameStop or someone else would have given me. Then I used my store credit to buy an original NES. The problem was sometimes it would take me like a half hour to get a game to load(just because of the nature of using 30 year old hardware) so I brought it back for a Retron5. That was exactly what I wanted except then my Retron had manufacturing issues, so I brought it back for another one… then that one had issues so I brought it back for ANOTHER one. Finally I got a Retron5 that worked and not once did the employees of the store make me feel guilty or bad for what felt like excessive returns. These guys are awesome if I could give them six stars I would.

Worth checking out particularly if you love the old school video games. Great spot for used and retro console and games as well as cool merchandise. They have a station where you can sample cartridges before buying. Very knowledgable and friendly staff. Apparently this company has 10 locations in TX and this is the first branch out of state.
