My review website is for games. It's Gamium.org: http://gamium.org/ I've got a new themed version coming up using all the things I learned about Drupal since the first version at http://beta.gamium.org/

The key in Drupal is being creative with your Taxonomies.

For example, I have four taxonomies:

1) Type of Review (Game, Snack, Movie, etc)
2) Score (EPIC WIN, MEH, AWESOME, etc)
3) Console (Nintendo Wii, XBOX 360, etc)
4) Freetagging (for random inter-review linking)

If I wanted to show only EPIC WIN reviews, I could link to here: http://gamium.org/category/Score/EPIC_WIN

See? By having the score just be another family of tags, I get to use Drupal's tagging system.

If I wanted a "FEATURED PRODUCT", I would make another tag series "Featured" with "Featured" as the only tag. Then I'd create a View that shows the top 1 results, sorted by date, tagged with "Featured". This would give you the most recent "Featured" item, and you could put that into a block, or a panel on a grander page.

It really surprised me, once I got into it, how much could be done with the taxonomy module with a little creative thinking...
