PC game shops in London

Hey folks, going to London for a little recession breaking shopping trip on tuesday and was wondering if anyone could give me and my game-crazy brother any pointers on where to go? It's been quite a few years since we were there last time and we didn't exactly have games as the first priority, so we only ever really got to Game. Any other big stores or stores that sell PC retro games(ala gog.com) in London?

You can still buy PC games in shops?

Would have thought anything we could name would probably be competitors, thus against the rules.

Just ebay retro games or go to ur local 2nd hand shop street and have a look.

Imo Game is over expensive, Gamestation is better imo. Supermarkets u may find a bargain or two.

If you can google map Charlotte Street in central London there are 2 2nd hand gaming stores in close vicinity, feels a little moreeee personalable than the indentikit stores such as HMV and Game.

As I recall the best store is just south of Charlotte Street in Rathbone place, whilst there is another just east beside Goodge St underground station.

Aka the shop that sells 2nd hand pc components at rip-off prices
