Gaming. A part of us that might have been developed early in our life by visiting the local arcade and saving the world from a breakout at Area 51, or perhaps your a bit more experienced and traversed the Asteroids career. Well, i have some news for you. Those good old days might be brought back by a man with a dream to offer a gaming experience, enjoyable by all. Most people's idea is just to make money. His, is the simple goal of making other happy and getting them into Gaming.

This all started with my long trip. Over the past weekend, I have been on a little self vacation into Mt. Pleasant, visiting a great friend whose lonely in college by herself. While on the trip, I was sure to bring along my counterpart Superboost (Logan).


While looking for an all you can eat KFC buffet, we came across a store located at 710 North Mission Street named "GameGo".

Now, the gamers that we are, were completely compelled to stop and have a look, and aside from our curiosity, we were also looking for a place that sold Command & Conquer 3: Tiberium Wars. So, we got through the hellish traffic that was Friday's rush hour, and walked inside...




What we seen, was a complete oasis for gamers.

A plethora of sounds, lights, symphony's and little warm feelings inside came about use upon entering this gaming sanctuary.

Picture a business...a large, widened room, filled to the brim with computers, Xbox's, Xbox 360's, PlayStation 2's and 3's, Wii's GIANT screen plasma TV's, and Projectors displaying Mario Kart on the wall, at a giant 12 foot (give or take) size. Well, that's what i seen. Now, imagine it all at your reach, and for a GREAT price.




All it takes to play till your hearts content is a trip to Mt. Pleasant, Michigan, a valid Driver's License, and a small amount of money in your pocket depending on how much you want to game while your up here. The prices happen to be $5 for people who are not members, $4 for members.


Whats that? You'd like to become a member for an awesome place like this? Well, all it takes is $60 in your wallet, which will get you the discounted price for all year round. Well, I'm sure your thinking that maybe since you paid the $60, you should get these times for free? Well, instead, GameGo hosts some good competitions. All you do now, instead of coming into here and depositing money on a admission, this Year-Long membership, will grant you FREE admission into these events.


While they have 14 computers available for gaming on, which has just about any game you would like to play, they are expanding even MORE. Ian, the store owner and Entrepreneur, says he will soon be expanding quite a bit and is even aiming for the licenses and such to have his own sandwich / cafe' inside the lounge.


At the moment, he simply has a few machines that dispense all the Monster, Coca-Cola, Jolt, Bawls, and Red Bull that can quench the thirst of an army, he also has some healthy stuff like Life Water or for the tasteful of the tasteless, good old fashioned water. He also sells a variety of snacks as well, including some little Snickers bars, Twix, and small bags of chips, making this truly a gaming experience.



So, your not really into computer gaming? Well, there are 3 Xbox 360's, 3 PlayStation 3's, 3 Wii's, an Xbox Original & a PlayStation 2.

As i mentioned, the biggest LCD is a 74'' 1080p screen for your gaming pleasure, to fully maximize the experience from the Xbox 360 console and the PlayStation 3 & Wii. While the big screen may be used at the moment, there are also 42'' LCD's along the wide wall which house PlayStation 3's and Xbox 360's for a little 1v1 or 2v2, or just an all out fun match, or Solo play, ready for battle and enjoyment.


Maybe your into a little new age. Maybe, you like to use your hands? Maybe, 74', just isn't big enough for you. Well, it just so happens, that the Wii's here happen to be hooked up to some digital projectors with utilize surround sound and house Wii's. The size you ask? Well, how does a 106' of High-Def game play sound to you? Made me ecstatic when I heard it.




Now, back to the gaming computers. These computers, all custom built by the owner, Have the max vista rating possible for most computers today. Liquid cooled, Quad-Core processors, DDR3 ram, 9700 Graphics cards, and all gaming hardware that could tickle your fancy. Were talking Logitech G15's and G5 mice for your gaming pleasure.







So, maybe your all thinking, "Man, how do i get a computer like this?". Well, it just so happens, that he runs a small part store inside the shop! If there is something that he does not have in the store, he will find it specially for you online and build it. All you need is the will, the money and the idea. Any type of gaming machine that you can think of, he can bring to a physical being with a little help from your mind.

This place, is definitely something to look at, as there aren't too many places left around that can offer this type of gaming stimulation.

    As a newby to the gaming scene, this place rocks...and I only play Wii games! I went in and checked the place out. Great range of equipment and space. Lot's of fun for an afternoon with friends or by yourself. I even brought my mom who is 68 and now she loves playing the Wii games! Great job to Ian and his crew. Look forward to spending much time there!
