This seems like a sub-optimal organization, because the files related to each game are scattered in many folders.
Can you suggest a better structure, where the code of each game will be encapsulated in a single place?
TJ Holowaychuk, creator of express, just released a video on vimeo showing you how to build modular web applications using express. This video is available here and answers your questions directly: http://vimeo.com/56166857.
The idea is to have one lib/ folder containing self contained express apps in subdirectories with public, views directories in each subdirectory. You then export each app object and link all of them in one file.
