Need Help Deciding Between Software

Hi Everyone,

I am starting a new web site, and need some suggestions on what combination of software to use for it. The web site will feature video game artwork. It will primarily be an image gallery, and therefore I had narrowed the choices down to Coppermine Gallery and Gallery2. I was thinking ahead, and then realised I will probably need more than just a gallery. Each game would have its own album of course, but I would like to have an information or detail page about the game too, which would include text, links, possibly embedded video, and the ability to take javascript. So a database of games you can browse search etc, see some info on them, View their individual art gallery, comment & rate each image.

Therefore I was thinking of using Joomla! or WordPress for that functionality, and then embedding or bridging the gallery to it. I have used Coppermine Gallery, Joomla!, and WordPress before, but not Gallery2. I would really appreciate any suggestions on which combination would work best, and if there are better alternatives I have not mentioned.
Thank you for your time!

@Compguy_PeteOct 01.2007 — well I think the choice will be clear... Use Joomla!

Why - well because there's surely going to be a connector or something to do the gallery end of the site.
