I believe it was Dave, who mentioned this CMS before. I'd like to know what are some of the advantages of using Drupal from both the Admin & user perspective. I've only used a live demo of it, with the Admin features, it looked efficient enough. However, I might of missed some good features.

Would Drupal be good for making game reviews? For example, I'd make a category like RPG > then post about Final Fantasy there. And then make another category like Shooters > then post about Doom III.

When I saw the blog feature, I couldn't find a way to make sub categories, it just posted them under 1 section. I'd like my users to be able to pick RPG and only get RPG reviews, not bundled in with the others.

Thanks.
drupal is different to the normal cms so may take time to get hold of everything.

drupal is very powerful, especially with the release of drupal5 recently,  you only have to look in the showcase forums of drupal for proof of this.

Yes, you could easily create a games review site using some modules and to create categories there is a module which is standard i think called categories (unsuprisingly) and you can also check out taxomony for more advanced systems.

I like the templating system of drupal and the fact that its doesn't really have a backend as the administration is integrated with the site and the theme you create.

i use it when building sites because as well as it being powerful and could build any sort of site from a business site to a community but it is incredibly simple to use for me and a client and when comparing it to its competition such as joomla you will immediately see this.
I will look at it again, I probably missed that category module. I had used Joomla before, but I found it a bit confusing, and by default it didn't look too appealing. Surprisingly the default theme for Drupal looks pretty good, as compared to the other CMS.
