It seems that, anymore, when trying to browse game add-ons under new arrivals on Xbox Live I find myself drowning in a sea of track downloads for the various music-oriented titles that are on the market these days.
Even on the day of release of highly anticipated DLC for top games such as Fallout 3 and Fable 2, you will find these add-ons almost instantly pushed to the muddle of the new arrivals page on Xbox Live due to the steady stream of small add-ons for games like Guitar Hero, RockBand, or Lips.
As these music games usually only feature several, small add-ons. Perhaps they should get their own category on Xbox Live so that those looking for new songs can go straight to a section for them. More importantly, this would ensure gamers who don't have any interests in these titles wouldn't feel that their Live experience was being bogged down by this Karaoke Epidimic.

The Examiner "about mes" are all the same generic statements , with no intro posts, 0 "thoughts" outside of a direct copy and pasting of said Examiner article, or an actual discussion with the Destructoid community via the comments section.
Between flydream copy-pasting ignworld.com and this, we may have a 4:1 spam ratio on the c-blogs soon. Should we just rename them to "blogs in a blog from another blog you have blogs?"
"Rhythm games should have their own DLC section".
Money by any means, right? I should apply for the Examiner! If they have a "no solicitation" policy though, forget it! I want easy cash, baby!
After more matlockery, your twitter AUTO links your articles to stumbleupon's toolbar, garnering you MORE cheap hits for the unsuspecting follower.
I bow to the master of internet solicitation. You should transcribe all these e-secrets in blood on a rusty tome, and sell it to aspiring bloggers for $1,000 a page. Be sure to attach a digg, reddit, n4g, stumble, delicious, mixx, and popurls links though. We all know social networks speak louder than words.
The Examiner ring is the work of professionals, seeking to mold Destructoid's Community Blog system into another "social networking exploitation", like the ones I mentioned in my previous comment. Further matlockery shows that The Examiner actively guages your proficiency (how good are you at exploiting) with social sites such as digg before becoming an accepted writer. I find this pretty absurd, Chrono, considering these "writers" could have let their words speak for themselves, but decided to join in the "get rich quick" mentality, and trick the horde of community members who thought their posts were legit, only to find out "wait a minute...these are copied and pasted, without even changing the format structure to suit the new blog medium".
