While I've stepped foot in the Yonge St location of Hairy Tarantula I never lived close enough to deem it 'my' video game store, but now that I live so close to Hairy T West, I feel that void has been filled.
I think they offer the BEST trade-in values in the city and while they don't usually carry the biggest stock of newer games the trade-in-incentive alone will definitely convince you to pre-order with them.
On top of that, they have an extensive amount of comic books and manga, just like the other 2 locations, and enough hobby gaming and accessories to make any geek grimace and open their wallet.
Add to the mix an extremely enthusiastic sales staff who will gladly debate videogames/comic characters/story arcs with you until closing time, you really can't feel more at home. Long live Hairy T!
