@Hapimeses Thanks for your answer. I'm glad you're open to civilized discussion. You certainly understand when it comes to add-ons/expansions, they're rated of course because it's obvious players of a certain game will be interested to know if such add-on is good or not, worth their money or not, just like any game. However, since these "extra chapters" can't stand on their own without the base of the original game, they can't be considered full games (not like they intend to, anyway).
Example: When Listing PC RPGs, you wouldn't count "Shivering Isles" or "Knights of the Nine" as two titles, when it's perfectly clear these are expansions for The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
Add-ons are strictly marketed and directed towards a very specific group of customers: those who bought the original game. Developers don't pretend to catch new customers by exciting them about new add-ons of a game they don't own. I could go on even further. Since there are no demos for GTA4, I could mistakingly buy the Lost and the Damned thinking I might as well pay $20 and see if I like it before I pay full price for the original game. That would be useless, of course.
