This is one of the hardest achievements available. Some would argue it's the hardest period. Today, I earned this achievement. Without a doubt it will stand as my most proud achievement I will ever have earned. I've played this game for around 200 hours and beaten it about 15 times, but this is the culmination of all my efforts.

I encourage all who love Ninja Gaiden 2 to strive for this goal. The journey is very challenging, but the reward is worth the effort.

And particularly you Major Nelson. You say you are finally going to make good on banning gamertags who have modded consoles for the purpose of playing pirated games. I hope so. I'll be watching to see you make good on it...

I posted a blog a few weeks ago about XBL users having modded consoles that play pirated games and how, even when reported directly to an XBL Moderator, nothing is done about it. I submitted it for an editorial here on GS. Funny thing is while that blog did not make the Soapbox, a blog where a user took pictures of a mock funeral for his RROD 360 and another blog where someone takes a retrospective look at launch title scores for the 360 makes the soapbox.

DOES ANYONE HERE AT GAMESPOT CARE ABOUT PIRACY??????????
