How would I tag a Video Game store like Gamestop, or Game Exchange that sell used or new video games primarily. They aren't shop = computer or video. Should I just make a new tag shop=video_game ? These shops are not uncommon. Please feel free to comment or respond. Thank You.

There are already 109 objects tagged as shop=video_games (note the s at the end) in the database. Although the wiki doesn't have a description for this tag yet you can use it nevertheless.

If you can't find a tag for a specific object in the wiki or your editor's presets you can always search on taginfo to see which tags were used by other users.

How does tagging work in general? Is it just for post to be shown when they are searching for a particular query? For example to tag on video game singapore, I would have to use tags like #video_game?

Tags in OSM aren't hashtags like on Twitter – you can learn more about the background here. However, if you're curious about how OSM works, I'd recommend a "learning by doing" approach and running the tutorial that's available on the osm.org edit tab.
