Seriously, what is your obsession with Dave Halverson? I mean, I used to read Gamefan and I have nothing against E Storm, but it's not like he is the be-all end-all of gaming journalism.


Sure he is.  And that's why his scores are quite often at odds with the majority.  I don't have a Playstation 4 and I only have $8.59 to my name with no foreseeable cash windfalls headed my way in the foreseeable future, so I don't know when or if I'll ever be able to get a Playstation 4 and Knack, if I could I'd buy it and review the game myself.  But I'm sure that a Halverson review would still confirm what I already know and give credence to the fact that "Knack" is in actuality a 9 or 10 and that all of its detractors are wrong.

If you haven't played Knack, how do you know that the game is actually worthy of a 9 or 10?

Another question:  What would you say if Halverson reviewed Knack and gave it a mediocre score?  I'm curious to know if you'd then admit that Knack is indeed flawed or would Halverson have suffered a lapse in his infallibility?

I'm factoring in past games from its makers and the early reviews that some truely great games on PS3 received ( Heavenly Sword, Folklore ) in an attempt to derail the PS3 and feeling as if it's the same type situation.


If Dave Halverson said it wasn't that great I would probably have to take his word for it until I played it myself.
