ExpressionEngine works just fine with Flash and other media formats. With EE you can choose whatever media player you want as any player that supports HTML/CSS, JavaScript, or PHP will work with EE. EE includes a weblog modules so you can do blogs and the urls are SEO friendly.

Other functionality:

in depth user profiles
top scores list or player based on ranking algorithm such as referals time spent on site or anything else which could add value
rss feeds on game categories or sitewide
ads manager in admin panel
Latest games
top played games
nested comments a la digg
allow users to submit media
permissions like allowing user x to upload or user y to remove games etc add or ban users
Pagination - Page 2 gets added to title where there is more than one page on category

Hi, fusiondesigner - much of what you need will need to be custom built specific to your project.  There is a nested comments addon which requires some hacking, that is called Weever.

You can allow users to submit media and you can set up member groups for the permission you want.  And yes, pagination is included.

Any idea on cost?

Also regarding pagination and seo, is it possible to allow edits to the page titles on e.g. Page 2 (changes to word or phrase i want)?

looking pretty much at armorgames.com including meta data on game page.

You have full control over the data output, including what’s in the title.

Have a look at SEO as well as the linked discussions for more information.

The urls need to be like-this not_this

That’s an option in the Global Weblog Preferences - to use dashes instead of underscores.

excellent, now i just need to have the mods made as listed above, is this something you guys do or another dev?
