Custom post types, listing related regular posts

    Hi,

    I’m in the middle of working on a gaming blog project. As part of the project, I wanted to create a game catalog of sorts. Each game would have its own custom post type, where it would list things like, the publisher, release date, etc. However, within the regular posts on the site, there would also be reviews, news, videos, etc… some of which would relate to this game, and I thought it would be great if I could list these posts below the game’s catalog custom post type.

    Simply, is there an easy way that, when creating a custom post type for a game, lets call it SuperGame, I could select the reviews category or post ID(s) for SuperGame, and also the same for news, videos etc.

    I could simply have these different sections as tabbed divs, however my difficulty is figuring out how to have these select area within the custom post type, and also out putting them.

    Does anyone have any ideas?

    Thank you,
    Darren.

    Any help of advice on this would be greatly appreciated, or even an alternate method for achieving the same goal.

    Why not just have a CPT games and use a custom taxonomy, say, “game meta information”, for the additional information (publisher, release date, etc), each one being a term in the new taxonomy.

    I’m not following what you mean? Sorry. And what is CPT?

    CPT = custom post type 🙂

    Oh right, I thought you were talking about something else, if you read my OP, that is my original plan.

    My question was, how I would then hook in related regular posts that would be reviews, news etc.

    I’d use Scribu’s awesome plugin posts to posts.
