How to create a page like the WordPress Plugin page

Question

I'm pretty sure this is basic but it's been a couple of weeks I'm struggling.

I'm building a video game news type of website with Wordpress and I would like the "game sheet" to work in the same way the WordPress plugin page works (here is an example: http://wordpress.org/plugins/buddypress/ )

The idea would be to have a page for each game and then this page would pull out content in each tabs to display different content:

• News would be articles with the game name as a tag
• Screeshots would be images from the media manager I would have tagged with the name of the game
• Game review and user voting in the sidebar
• etc...

Again, this seem to be a very basic taxonomy/custom post type system but I just don't know where to start and I can't find the right words to explain it to do a proper google search.

Thank you for your help.

What you need is to create a "custom post type". In other words, something like a post, but with more / different fields. I suggest you use the plugin: "custom content type manager".

After you create the custom post type you need, you will only have to create a page / post the summarizes the custom content you have built. For that you will also use the same plugin.
