Gamestop (or any store for that matter) are only as good as the employees that work there.
Sure they may have corporate policies that are shitty which a lot of other stores have as well.
Being said I enjoy my gamestop quite a bit. Just a few examples of the store near me:
1) At the Halo3 launch party they had a Guitar Hero tournament as well as a Halo 2 tournament at the CiCi's pizza next door. They gave away $20 gift cards to the winners and had free pizza as well.
2) At a Gears tourney (before Gears2 launch) a couple guys from Epic games came down and signed free posters and even came wearing the CoG armor and brought a lancer rifle for people to take pictures with.
3) At the actual Gears 2 launch they had a Gears 2 tourney. Winner got a gift card and a UT3 360 faceplate. A couple Epic employees were there with free stuff and brought some video clips to showoff. There was also a MS rep at the store who was giving away free stuff like notepads, lanyards, and other small stuff. They also had free energy drinks and food for people there.
This is all at a store in a small town about the size of 15,000. It's not a major metropolitan area at all.
I manage a different retail store and have hired two people from the Gamestop and both have been good employees. Maybe the store by me is an exception but as long as the service continues I'll continue spending my money there.
