I personally think that performance/framerate should be taken into consideration when reviewing a game. Now I don't mean like, every game must be 60+ fps. I mean like when games are consistently below 30 fps which results in a really bad experience because the game feels very stuttery. Specially since games are at their highest price point when the game gets launched and the consumers that buy it at launch will be paying the most.
With that being said though, what I don't want is a game all of a sudden being punished for it. If the reviewers ignored performance in the past, then they shouldn't suddenly dock points for a game that has drops one a while. If they are going to dock marks for performance, they should go back to the other games they have played in the past and dock marks for those games too. At least for the current generation anyway.
