New Releases!

Chaotic is a game unlike anything you've seen. Each Chaotic trading card has a Chaotic Code that's unique. Players can create their personal Chaotic online homepage and, using the Codes on their cards, they can store and assemble decks, trade cards and battle online with Players around the world.

With the Dawn of Perim, Zenith of the Hive, Silent Sands, M'arrilion Invasion and Rise of the Oligarch sets already out, this multi platform game will bring your card and online gaming experience to a whole new level!

Huntik: Secrets and Seekers is a brand new action adventure game. Based on the hit TV show, the Huntik Trading Card Game features mysterious Seekers, mighty Titans, amazing powers, and incredible missions right from the episodes! In the game, you assign special missions for your Seekers to complete, such as finding lost Mayan statues or a cursed samurai sword. The choice is yours: help the HuntikTM Foundation keep dangerous treasures out of the hands of evil, or join the Organization to take control of the world.

Demos for both new releases coming soon! See our Events Calendar for more details!


The Year Ahead

There's no doubt 2009 will be a challenge for many - we are having to start the year with a review of our some of our pricing and prize support (see Notice to Customers which is also available as a flyer in the shop). We are confident, though, that we can ride the storm and, with your help, further develop and expand the complete gaming experience at The Games Shop!

So what about some positive news as we enter 2009! We are pleased to welcome AVGaS (Alder Valley Games Society) into our shop, a well established gaming group in the area for more than 25 years. Their regular gaming sessions are on Tuesday and Friday evenings, and Sunday afternoon/evenings. Why not come along to one of their sessions and participate in the wide variety of gaming activity that they arrange?

Also new for 2009 is The Spoils Trading Card Game, which makes a welcome return to our gaming schedules from early February 2009 - look out for further exciting announcements about this stunning TCG in the coming weeks...

Look out for lots of new sets in the coming months: expansions sets for Pokemon, Yu Gi Oh, L5R, Magic The Gathering and World of Warcraft are all scheduled for the first three months of 2009.

So as you can see - there's lots to look forward to: we are also introducing new 'Super Sunday' monthly tournaments for our main trading card games from early February - again look out in store for future announcements.

Thanks to all our customers/gamers and good luck with all your endeavours in 2009! 


Christmas! Yay!

The Games Shop would like to thank all our customers for a wonderful year of fun-packed gaming! 

 

 And with another exciting year just round the corner, we wish you all the best!
