I've made two purchases here that were both incredibly fairly priced.every time i've been in warp zone, i got to talk to someone who knew games inside and out, whether it's a retro game or a brand new switch game.i'm always greeted and helped immediately, and the person working there is the nicest person i've ever met in a retro games store.he's super helpful and cool.on top of that, they replace all the batteries in their gameboy/GBA cartridges, and they won't sell one without an operational battery. 1000% recommend this place, and i'm excited to keep coming back.

Wonderful! Gave me a discount on a game for free! If you like retro games, this is the place to go!

Awesome store with fair prices on games as well as trade-ins. Took in two import games and left with a super clean copy of pokemon blue. Staff was super friendly and offered to let me look at a trade he had just taken in if i couldn't find anything on the selve i wanted to trade for. They had a ton of cool retro and new games that you can't usually find. Will be a returning customer.

Went here with my boyfriend as a belated birthday trip. We were absolutely blown away by what we saw, I'm still a bit speechless from the whole thing (in a good way). He's so much better at articulating what the experience was like, so I'll post his yelp review below:
Me and my partner had heard about this store from a YouTube video that documented calling it the best game store in all of Ohio, and honestly, I have to agree. Once you enter, you're greeted with the hip sounds of 80's music playing, and you see the shelves and glass cases meticulously organized by platform. More rarer games are placed inside said cases. Plenty of Japanese imports of all kinds, prime material for collectors interested in the odd but innovative and influential Japanese video games. Plenty of artwork, posters, and much more also decorate the walls, even rare collectibles appear. As well as this, there are plenty more types of games to peruse: from the PS2 to the PC Engine, the Sega Saturn to Xbox, the Switch to the Famicom. There's plenty of gaming to peruse, and while imports are a distinct focus, there's more than enough here to explore. The staff manning the place was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, and very well versed in the games on sale. He was always delightful to talk gaming and collections with. As well as this, there's a lot of gaming related material to explore: soundtracks, gaming magazines, loose manuals, free buttons, and much more. And even with the caliber of rare games on sale, they never went into the ludicrously high prices you tend to see from online sellers or various other stores (not a knock on any store, just an unfortunate side effect of the market) This store was well worth our two hour journey to reach, and it was a fantastic experience to get to freely explore an store completely built on obvious passion and enthusiasm for this art form, and I will definitely be returning in the future. If you love games and want a place to check out for something new to add to your collection, I wholeheartedly recommend Warp Zone. It`s well worth it.

Love this place. So happy Chris was able to help me find everything I was looking for and I am so happy with the price I received the games that I purchased. When I am back in town, I'll definitely be visiting again.

Legitimately one of the best game stores I've ever been to. Amazing import selection and tons of hard to find US releases as well. I cannot wait to come back!

Place was awesome. The guy sold me a homemade gwent board and a deck that’s the coolest thing I’ve bought this year. Highly recommend.

Always a pleasure to go to warp zone, the employees/owner are very nice and always willing to help. They have a great selection of retro, new games, imported (japanese), and unique games so you'll have no problems finding something interesting. Prices are on the more reasonable side too compared to other stores which I appreciate. Highly reccomend to anyone into video games.

Hands down the best store in the Columbus area! I live 2 and a half hours away in Huntington WV, and when we come into town to visit this is the very first place we stop at. They have an incredible selection of games (including Japanese imports) and the owner is an awesome guy who is so much fun to talk with. If I lived closer I would be coming here every other day. You owe it to yourself to check this place out!

Warp zone is definitely a unique game store the thing you'll recognize first as a collector or a gamer that they have plenty of imports PAL and JP and they display it nicely, the prices are fair and there's something for everyone.
The staff and owner are very nice and friendly they're experts in what they're doing and you'll get lot of advice and guidance if you need it.
Theres a lot of Genesis/mega drive games if thats something you're looking for.
There's also some nice collection of Saturn sega cd and Dreamcast
Excellent store and pretty layout i loved my first time visit there and will definitely be there more often

Awesome store! Their import selection of Sega Saturn games is amazing and the prices are pretty decent too. Ended up talking to the employee for about and hour. Really chill place. One of the best game shops I've been in.

The only store that I could find that sold both Japanese video games and Sonys ps vita games. They have a pretty impressive collection, however a lot of the older games tend to be sports games or card games like yugiyo that not a lot of people want. They also have some deals you'll never find on the internet so definitely check them out.
