After typing Game stores into Google Maps, the first location on the list was Ctrl Pad. A vibrant location with many consoles, retro and modern system set ups. Availability seemed good. Ideal for parties and friendly get togethers.

My son and his friends love to come here to kill a couple of hours on a rainy day and play all kinds of games. I highly recommend and the staff are so helpful! Specifically the tall lean guy with glasses, can't remember his name but he was so keen to help with any games/questions. He showed my son great age appropriate choices for racing/car games. The boys really had a great time. Kudos to adding the nostalgic arcade games/gaming systems as well!

Just brought my three eldest boys here for a couple of hours. The price is really reasonable considering how much there is for the kids to play on.Staff are very attentive, there was specifically one guy who was running around helping everyone set up their games and he was great with the kids.The food and drinks are really reasonable. This was our first visit but defo recommend and we will be back :)

Good for switch or consoles but pcs defo not updated like they had said they would. Terrible lag and fps games completely unplayable even with all graphic settings on low or disabled and the sound just makes it worse delayed and the quality was just not there. Walked out half way through cuz it just wasn’t worth it.

Great two hours with my 2 children. Staff were really friendly, helpful and engaging especially for a complete amateur like myself. Kids keep asking when they can go back.

Just been down tonight with my 7 year old daughter. We all loved it. My wife could watch us play for free. Food was so cheap and really tasty. Will be back to use the vr and racing set up. Thank you!
