Downloadable content has always been something of a controversial subject. Originally conceived as the natural ancestor of the expansion pack, DLC was designed to bring us additional content to our games for a further price. It all sounds great on paper.

But the debate about DLC will continue to wage for many years to come, and I simply don't have the answer. Is it good? Is it bad? This article explores both sides of the argument by showcasing the best and worst DLC packs of the last few years. First up, the very worst uses Of DLC...
