Atomic Games West — Local services in Four Corners States

My Honest and Truthful experience in this store was the worst I have ever experienced I am fairly new to area/gaming world and thought it would be a good store to go in and spend too much money on things, but had my mind changed in hurry. Very Dirty and Cluttered tables set up for tournaments to where you couldn't get around and through to the back of store to see everything else on the shelves. Took a couple minutes to be greeted. Now the first time I went in I bought a $35 legendary creature, once I got home realized I already had one in excellent shape in my deck so I decided to go back the next day when I got off work to exchange for a legendary that I did not have and at first was told that would be able to be done(at the cash register) walked to the first glass case closest to cashier to look at creatures, within the time of walking between places and pulling out my deck to double check he changed his mind because he started saying that it wasn't the card he had sold me because it was "too worn." Now granted this was a Goblin Wizard and their original price was at $37.80 when we first asked to see it and he said that we probably don't want to pay the price on it as soon as we asked to see it. When we said yes we do we are willing to spend money in this store he then pulled it out and lowered the price $2 and sold it to us for $35 and husband bought a starter pack along with this card so grand total almost $50. we were stoked we said we would be back and we found out about the game days and were going to do those too but when as soon as he said that I didn't hear what I did hear and that there are no store exchanges period right after I was told there was I got upset and he said he is honest and was trying to be nice and this is what he gets for being nice. if you were being nice first off then why did you change to upset me and call me a liar to my face. may its because I am a Woman or because I'm in my mid 20's... I was also the only customer in the store when this happened the day I bought the card though I was the only girl among 20 guys in that store because there was a tournament or something going on, was with my husband and he only acknowledged my husband even with me there next to...

I just moved here less than a month ago and was looking for a place to play some magic nearby. I came in to check this place out and I was sorely disappointed. This place is horrible and here’s why: 1.) The shopping center doesn’t look like it’s been mantained at all. Chipped paint, trash everywhere, serious disrepair. It looks downright post apocalyptic. If I owned a business here I would lose it on my landlord. Yikes. But I thought maybe the inside of the store would be nice. 2.) Nope. Upon walking in, I first noticed how small it was (no big deal) then how filthy it was (big deal). The pictures on Google we’re clearly taken after the store opened or after some through cleaning. The carpet was foul and needed to be replaced years ago. There wasn’t any decoration or attempt to make the store feel branded; white walls, mismatched furniture, everything looked cheap as hell. It was cramped and cluttered. Just awful. 3.) While the store was extremely cluttered, they didn’t seem to have much at all. The selection was sparse, nothing was priced, and it was hard to tell what was for sale and what wasn’t. There seems to be a lack of storage space, and what little there was wasn’t being used well. 4.) I walked in and meandered around the store for a few minutes to see how long it would take to be greeted. I made a loop around the entire store. Finally, when I came within 5ft of the register the dude behind the counter looked up from whatever he was doing on the computer and asked if he could help me. He mostly mumbled throughout the transaction and I had to ask him to repeat himself several times because I could hardly hear him... he seemed to get a bit annoyed with this. I was hoping to stay awhile when I came in, but I just made my purchase and got the heck out. All in all, I’m pretty bummed. I wanted to support a local card shop (this one is within 2 miles of me), but I can’t do business here. I can’t spend money in a shop that the owners clearly don’t take any pride in. If it cleans up, I will be back, but for now I will be driving 10-15 miles to other shops just to avoid this one.

TL;DR this place is disgusting....

Definitely not the place for video games. I was fooled by the other reviews into checking this store out. Without question the worst game store I have ever been to.

There is a very small selection of video games. Those few games are kept behind a glass counter where they can't be touched by customers. If you see something interesting you can ask the owner to take a break from playing his table top game for a moment and maybe let you check it out. The owner will then come over to help you, but will not actually let you see the game. Instead he will take it over to the computer and start searching for prices.

At this point I was a bit confused, but then I noticed that none of the games had a price marked. So every time you want to know what a game will cost, you have to wait several minutes for the owner to go through this process of checking Amazon, then checking eBay to try and figure out how much he can charge.

Now comes the best part. I asked for a price on a used copy of ChronoTrigger DS and a couple of other games. After waiting while he searched, and having the owner explain to me that the video game market is too fluid to put a price tag on games, and I should expect to pay what games are worth, he finally came back with a price that was $2 higher than amazon charges for a brand new copy. He then started the process over again for the next game. When I told him it wasn't necessary to look up any more if they're just going to be ebay prices, he got mad, said something condescending and went back to play his table top game.

He went on to say some more nonsense but that's probably enough to give you the idea. Terrible selection, hostile atmosphere, games under glass, no set prices, no need to...
