Gameland

Right on the corner of La Brea and Santa Monica is the smallest video game store in LA. Almost hidden to all those passing by it is easily missed while driving on by. Gameland. Gameland is a actual fully functionung video game store within a Western Union. It's sad and funny at the same time. It shares half the store. One side is western Union the other is Gameland. I wonder how the arrangement was worked out.

What game land lacks in size is made up for in a plethora of games both old and new. This store has a huge amount of Nes, SNES, Sega Saturn, etc. games. Plus hard to find imports. When I say it has a huge amount I mean it. The games are stacked high in this little store. If your looking for a old system game I recommend coming here over Game Dude which I haven't review yet. Game Dud might be a huge store, but they have terrible service and their selection isn't that great.

The prices are comparable to with regular stores for new games, but you might find a deal on the old games there. I thought it was funny they had the Little Big Planet Billboard from the secret contest they had last year right on there display case. Look through the entire store they other odd ties than that.

Parking is easy. They share a lot with other stores like Rite Aid.
