Oxford Street has a GAME store, and there is also a huge HMV and Virgin Megastore (think its called Zavvi now though).

Try looking ON Oxford Street :indeed:
There's a GAME,2 HMVs, sodding massive Virgin Megastore (ok... sorry Zavvi).
Off OS: On Rathbone Place you have CEX, which is brilliant and there is another shop (can't remember it's name) on Goodge Street just off Tottenham Court Road.

His Masters Voice.
Essentially a music store, but they sell games, dvds and other media.

Oh Vicar I'm sorry I sounded so mean... forgot that you're coming from a different country. I'd suggest going to CEX if you can find it as it has lots of Retro gaming stuff along with the place on Goodge street. They look a bit small and dingy but there's lots inside and at a good price.
Almost all of the games and stuff that you find in Zavvi, HMV or GAME are probably easier and cheaper to buy off the internet anyway.

Just thought I could help decide whether it was worth getting your people to the more interesting shops. With that in mind I made you a little map:

2 - CEX - fantastic place!
3 - Zavvi
4 - HMV

For some reason, I feel like suggesting finding a Gamestation(even thought they've been bought out by Game, they do alot of second hand and old school stuff) but as it's just Corruption you seem to be after, any of the aforementioned stores will easily have it on the shelves.
Slight hijack, does anyone know if there IS a gamestation anywhere near oxford street or in central? Despite my location, I suck. Second, I've never heard of CEX, what are they like?
I haven't been to the London one, but i do concur, CEX is the greatest shop in the universe..
