We're just customers here, but if it's just a standard website, then you can. You can't run anything like a game server, though.

To clarify -- web sites which have games on them are okay, but dedicated game servers (like a Quake server or whatnot) are not.

From what I understand, gaming site (game server) uses a lot of CPU and RAM resources. It may not be a good idea to host it on a shared server.
Simple flash or shockwave games should be fine.

A dedicated server is what you need. Shared hosting will not permit that as you would most likely need root access to the server. Even a VPS would not be tolerant of such resource intensive applications.

I am building a video/game sharing site. Is DreamHost a good host for this type of site?

Imagine that. A spammer pimping their website.
