Review from Arün D.

Out of all the net cafes I've been to (not a whole lot now that I think about it...), eSpot (as it's stylized in their logo) is probably one of the better ones. After 7pm it's $6 for unlimited play. Aside from that, it's usually $2.50 per hour I believe. I went with a group of 9 or so the other day at 8ish and the place wasn't too crowded - the guy in charge of the computers hooked us up with some computers that were all pretty close to each other and we had no problem finding games to play for the next few hours. Playing over LAN is definitely the way to go if you're with a big group.
If computer gaming isn't your thing, they've got quite the collection of arcade games. There's your typical fighting games, DDR machines and then some more casual games like Mario Kart. If you're still bored you can grab a pool table for an hour - I think it costs $10 for that. The tables themselves seem decent and we didn't have any problems with them, but I'm not really a pool expert so don't take my word for it.
If you're in Richmond with nothing better to do and a bunch of friends with nothing else to do for the evening, it's definitely worth dropping by. -

This arcade had renovated itself from the last time I've been in there.
I miss having the score boards near the pool table. the comfy benches don't really match the place.
Didn't really understand why they would have a kids area when majority of their customers are teens to early adults.
I missed the fact that they took out the sticker picture machines and replaced them with kiddy games.
Staff are pretty much the same.
They provided a better food banner but not sure how they taste. -

Warehouse arcade that has a good selection of Bemani (Music Video Games).
+ Several IIDX & DrumMania machines as well as Taiko, DDR.
~ MACHINES ARE VERY LOUD. This can be a plus/con depending on your preference.
~ In Richmond, so if you're not Asian, you're going to stand out.
- It was dark in the warehouse. This might keep it cool, but a few lights probably wouldn't have hurt much.
Full list of music games as of 8/14/11 can be found here:

I come here with my girlfriend whenever we have an excuse to be in Richmond for the day or night. What keeps bringing us back? Why do we always waste $20 in loonies playing Time Crisis? I dont know, but if you're not us you wont find out, as you waste YOUR money on their awesome selection of light gun, guitar, race, drum, and dance games, as well as quirky import machines that yell at you in Japanese.
This place IS very loud and the prices per machine range from a quarter to a dollar a round. They also have the latest LAN games available and many nicely clothed pool tables. The have a cafe with a limited selection of beverages despite their extensive available bubble tea flavors. Im pretty sure theyre licensed as well, although dont quote me on it. -

Ready to get your game on? This is typically inhabited by hongers and other fobs, but other than that it is a decently clean and non-seedy place to shoot some pool.
Being an Asian arcade the machines are always up to date and there's even random snacks one can order up whilst playing. -

The only experience I have with this place is the snooker tables. They look like Riley tables but the cloths are worn & the table accessories are in rough shape. The lighting fixtures are older & seem to cast more ball shadows. The table & lights are rumored to be from the former Top Ten Billiards locations. Top Ten has been gone for a number of yrs. The snooker balls seem like the cheaper polyester type not Tournament Champion or Super Crystallite. For the best equipment & lighting definitely go to Top 147 Snooker Club or High Break Billiards both are close by.
