   I would like to add something additional at the end of the link when generating the html. (I am reviewing flash games, and would like to create a page with the actual game on a page with similar URL. So example.com/bloons would review the game, and example.com/game-bloons would be a page to play the game.)

   this is the effect I am going for, even though this code doesn't work:

   <a href="<?php str_replace(".com/", ".com/game-", the_permalink()) ?>">link</a>

   i tired turning the_permalink() into a string but I can't seem to do that. (I am very new to php and wordpress and programming in general). Any ideas on how to accomplish this?

   The the_permalink() function will print the output before you can perform anything so try uses get_permalink() function instead.

   str_replace(".com/", ".com/game-", get_permalink($post->ID));

   AWESOME, thank you chaoskaizer, that did it.

   here is the final code for anyone wondering:
   

   <?php $urlVar = str_replace(".com/", ".com/game-", get_permalink($post->ID))?>
   <a href="<?php echo $urlVar ?>" rel="bookmark">play</a>
