I think it is a time issue, as now the editorial staff only has 4 members. Perhaps if ever they expand they will pay attention to it.

It's not like of reviewing DLC takes a lot of effort, besides, Jeff sort of reviewed Burnout Paradise's Bike DLC. Remember that?

Now that you mention, they often write articles in which they give their opinions about some of the DLC that comes out.

We're not currently setup to handle DLC in the way I've previously described, but it's on the table.

The core idea is that we'd be able to create areas on game pages devoted to each specific piece of DLC that's released for a game. Once you're down that far, you'd be able to do many of the things you currently do at the game level, like upload screens, write a reader review, and so on. There would also be a more formalized space for our reviews of that content.

In the meantime, we've been hitting some DLC here and there in regular blog posts. See last week's piece on the Street Fighter II table for Pinball FX for an example of that.

Which i created a page for a while ago without knowing that it would be in game DLC...

If i remember correctly coonce mentioned that untill early 09 they already ahd plenty of stuff to do. So we should not expect this anytime soon i guess.

I think it was also for the users to have an opportunity to review DLC as well.

It would be pretty helpful considering that lots of the DLC costs money, and i assume that will factor into the score, free DLC is always welcome.  I wonder what they would rate the horse armor from oblivion?
