Game Force

Matt is incredibly rude. I was treated as if my presence in the store was a burden to his lazy day of eating ramen noodles from a cup. I was scoffed at when I asked if they tested the discs that come in. It must have been a huge imposition to clean the discs I purchased of fingerprints and dirt because he nearly flat out made excuses to NOT clean them.
This is an awesome store. It’s great having such easy access to old games and dvds but I am huge on customer service and this trip left a terrible taste in my mouth. Looks like I’ll be driving to Sparks to buy from Cap N Games from now on.

it has been a few years since I had been in here. it has went down hill alot it use to be really busy and have a play area in the back as far as I can tell that is no longer there. they had a large video wall of dvds for sale and that is almost empty they still have a fair selection of games for almost every game system out maybe they do have games for every system out there. the service was okay there was only one cute little girl working there she seemed to know something I didn’t quiz her but hearing her talk to some of the other customers seemed like she was holding her own.

I’m very sad to write this review… When I was younger Game Force was a place I looked forward to going to every time my family came to Reno. I was always able to find great games and rare stuff for all of my consoles, the walls were always stacked with cool games, and the staff were awesome!
I dropped by the shop today looking for an older handheld console only to find that the door was locked and a post-​it stuck to the door that said «back in 5.» Two other customers and I then waited well over five minutes until the one staff on duty came back with a handful of snacks and mumbling something about «a one-​man operation.» I understand that staff need breaks (it’s the law, after all) but why would only one staff be placed on at a time? Once inside, I saw that much had changed here since I had been last. Minimal stock, mediocre game selection, and high prices. They had two of the item I was looking for. One of the two items in stock I was looking for was priced well over their competitors (a fact I pointed out and was given some attitude by the staff over) and was told they use a price-​suggesting website to set their prices. The second item was literally broken (no sound) and had a sticker price almost as much as the price of the fully operational item at their competitor’s store. I left without making a purchase.
I feel for the owner of this store because I understand that an independent operation is difficult to keep open in the economic minefield we live in today. However, the owner of this store has clearly begun to give up, because this store is a ghost of what it once was. Again, I feel terrible as I write this but go somewhere else for your gaming needs. Game Force is dying and the most humane thing to do at this point is to put it out of its misery.

I used to visit Game Force, avidly! They had the best collection of used (but working!) games you could find in the area! It has been a while, but I finally made it back and was sad to see, they are not as amazing as I recall. To start off, they got rid of all their Sega Genesis items. (Sadly, this is what I was on the hunt for, but not the reason, I was disappointed with my visit.) In their heyday, Game Force used to hold gaming tournaments bringing «nerds» filling up the entire store. I loved the environment and the life that came out of this place. (Maybe, everyone is just at home playing games alone now!) Now, the store has a peculiar smell to it and the store itself seems slower then ever. It is sad to see and unfortunately, I don’t think it has anything to do with the management of this facility. The clerk, Moose, was more than friendly and polite, as my family and I browsed the store. He answered our questions in detail and made small chat with us and the other customer, in the store. They still have a fair collection of game devices (new (ish) and old) and games. It is just a gaming store, but I’d love to see Game Force liven up again!

Stacked the brim with PS2 titles. Unfortunately if you’re looking for another console, the selection is a little thin.
On to the next store!

I just went here for the first time & it was great! The game selection was a bit smaller than i expected (hence the 4 star rating) but i found great games at great prices! The staff member, Moose, was super helpful and provided insight into my purchases without talking down to me like i experience at other game stores. I will definitely be back in here!

This place is great, their selection of games is incredible and their prices are not only fair but competitive with online prices as well.
I’ve come here more than a few times and received excellence each time. They also offer a very generous warranty policy, even so far as to warranty cartridge games for life!
I like that they’ll let you test out anything before you buy it, and Scott has a wealth of knowledge about games and systems. I strongly recommend going when Scott is there, the man is very friendly and helpful. He’ll hook you up with just what you need.

You just don’t create a decades-​long haven for video gaming without a lot of love and genius. Thank you, Gameforce. I have been patronizing your store for I think 20 years now.
No chain could ever compete with the massive knowledge and unabashed enthusiasm of Game Force, and if this store ever closes, it will be nothing but a tragedy for the gaming community in Reno.

I have been shopping at Game Force for over 3 years now and have always had good experiences with this store. The staff are usually somewhat busy, but always greet me when I walk in if they are not helping other customers. They are almost always as friendly as can be without being bothersome. All of the people working there are down to earth, good people and have a very good general knowledge of the products they sell. The prices on their games are very good and usually lower than other used video-​game stores. They not only sell used games, but have a small selection of new games (which are usually one to two dollars less than the regular price for new games.) If anyone out there is a retro video game fan, I would recommend this store to you.

If you are looking for old school video games, this is hands down the best place in Reno. They also have new games but personally, I love me some Donkey Kong Country on Super Nintendo. They have games for Nintendo, Super Nintendo, Sega, Gameboy, Nintendo 64, PS1, 3DO, Gamegear, pretty much any console. Speaking of consoles, they have those too. All the games are guaranteed to work and if they don’t, bring it back and they will fix or replace. Staff is very knowledgeable. I’d write more but I’m in the middle of a heated game of Mario Kart…
