Astro Game

I’ve been going to this game store for over 10 years. I heard that they’ve been there for a long time. Everyone here are very knowledgeable about games and also very helpful and professional. Although you can get almost everything online these days, it is nice to go in and see other new games and ask for recommendations. Their prices are very competitive, and have a great customer service.

I like that there is a massive selection of video games, ranging from super nintendo all the way to the most current game systems. There are also tons of actual game systems that you can buy along with accessories. There are a few weird things about the store. One is that it is in the back of a weird clothing store. I guess that saves money for everyone to share the space, but I just think it is weird and makes the neighborhood look ghetto, but then again it is Washington Heights so can’t expect much about having nice things. Anyways the staff was really friendly and helpful getting me what I need, but things are just priced way too high, especially for Washington Heights (like I live here bc rent is cheap and things should price match, but whatever). I’ll definitely be back if I need things immediately, but otherwise I’ll prob stick to ebay because the N64 games are like 14 – 20 $ that cost like 6 $ on ebay.

I’ve been wanting to provide a review for these guys for quite some time, but they aren’t on Unilocal!So, I finally just went ahead and added them on here.
Firstly, this is probably the best video game spot in the area. There is another video game store around the block called «Viva & Phone» but they are a bit slower, smaller, cramped/​uncomfortable, lots of kids hanging out, then again, they also get a lot more foot traffic on that street. But, even so, their customer service is not as good and they tend to not have what I’m looking for. On the other hand, Astro Game is always fast, and they always have what I’m looking for! They are well stocked. I feel that the employees/​owner/​manager are very skilled not only with their own stock but also with gaming itself.
Okay, let me talk about the store itself, the game section is actually all the way in the back left of the store. They have shoes at the front, clothing, and games on the side. I haven’t really looked around much. Generally, I go right for the games. But, truly this is a nice spacious store, it’s never over crowded, the employees are friendly, helpful. What else could you ask for? Thanks for being where you are and preventing me from traveling far to a Gamestop! I appreciate it! :)
