I have too many games in my app drawer. Is there a way to create a games folder and put them in there, so the app drawer is not so large. For example I would create folder open it and all my games would be in there? if so how thanks. Also could folder be in app drawer and not on homescreens?
 
I'm pretty sure you can do this with GO launcher just by dragging an app onto another one in the app drawer
 
yeah, the both the app you select and the one you drop it over will go into a folder in the app drawer. This is what my app drawer looks like after dragging angry birds onto angry birds walkthrough.

Use the app Folder Organizer. You can make folders on your homescreen or use them in the scrolling dock in Launcher Pro. You can also set custom icons for these folders, so you don't have to settle for the fugly yellow folders stock gives you.

Here is a screenshot of my original Droid, the Multimedia, Apps, Games, Tools, and Shop icons are all Folder Organizer folders:

In this screenshot, the icon in the bottom scrolling dock of Launcher Pro (second from the left) is my folder for Utility apps:

Folder organizer is great but doesn't do what the OP is looking for. He wants to make a folder in the app drawer to shrink the size of the app drawer.
 
I know this isn't what you are looking for, but I like it. I use lpp to hide everything in my app drawer except my games. I'll use gesture search to pull up those seldom used apps that aren't on my homescreen.
 
another option would be to get an app called launch-x. It makes a scrolling widget that you could put all your game icons into and have them on your home screen. I dont recall what the limits were for the free version, ive got the paid and you can put a load of stuff in one rows space. This still wouldnt remove the icon from the app menu but if finding your games is what you are after it might help.
launch-x - Search Android Apps on AppBrain
 
i use lpp to hide a crap load of apps in the drawer and i use folder organizer. thanks to both of these apps, i only use 3 homescreens.
