before they buy them and having access to friendly, knowledgeable staff who
can speak to what both parents and kids want. Parents want to know about the
age-appropriateness of the games they are considering, while children appreciate
having someone on hand who can show them some tricks that will help them enjoy
the game to the fullest.”
