Another World & Heart of Darkness review (Eric Chahi tribute)

It's been a while since I've done a tribute review to a specific video game developer (Tim Schafer review) I decide to do one on Eric Chahi who has created two games Another World & Heart of Darkness. This is a review on two games and at the same time a brief history on Eric Chahi's career.
Another World itself is one of the most inspirational games ever created and most amazingly, Eric Chahi created the entire game all by himself and you need to see this video for my opinion of the game. 7 Years later, he created Heart of Darkness which itself was also a great game, minus the cutscenes.
This is perfect for my Cinematic Platformer month and what better time than to do this video. One more thing, it's has been years since we've heard of Eric Chahi himself, since Heart of Darkness, but he finally announced his next upcoming game and it's called "From Dust" and I don't know much about the game, but judging by the footage I saw on E3 '10, it looks a lot different than any other game I've seen this far & since Eric himself has created some of the greatest games ever this is going to be good. From Dust has become my most anticipated game of 2011 and I can't wait to try it out!

UPDATE: My next video is "My Top 10 Cinematic Platformers"

I don't understand the rating system 'cause you give 7 fingers and 6 fingers. Are you saying the game is beyond perfect? You gave HoD a 5 fiingers out of 5 which means you're saying the game is perfect. I don't understand the rating system, please respond.

@TurningJappanesse Five Fingers = 8/10

6 Fingers =9/10

7 Fingers = 10/10

The real reason why I don't do 10's is because people on the internet are just too bitchy over something that I don't give a maximum score. If I just do 5/5 it's too small to be a score, plus I'm being [original] here. A ten out of 10 means that it's the best thing in life and yet there isn't that many things in this world for me that is ever made 7 Fingers because so many things don't have an ever-lasting appeals for me

My man, this review, along with the Oddworld Odyssey and Oddworld Exoddus video made me subscribe. Please keep the amazing reviews coming! I thoroughly enjoy the additional details and trivia you add within the review, as well as your enthusiasm towards such classic masterpieces. Kudos!

@hellraiser3108 Thanks, man! I have full respect to Cinematic Platformers because many of them in that genre is clearly a masterpiece and am glad to see people such as yourself to honor those classics =)

Just to let you know that my next review is Oddworld Quintology Part 2 - Munch's Oddysee. The reason why it's taking me a long time is because there's hardly any information on that game which shows that it's truly forgotten and probably one of the hardest review I've ever worked on.

WHat about Heart of the alien and Flashback?

[gexup]

@Bakemon13 Eric Chahi has nothing to do with those games

[TurningJappanesse]

Even if you hated the cutscenes for HoD, you can't hate the music which plays during the cutscenes.

How did you record footage off the Amiga 500?
