I got a new Mac a little while ago, but I can't seem to log in to gamerankings on it. I just get the message "We're sorry. Logins have been temporarily disabled from this site" or something like that. Any other Mac users have this problem? I can log in any time on any other computer for some reason, but not this one.

When I finally slashed evil Murai for the last time today, I basked in the glory of having beaten Ninja Gaiden Black on hard. But did I do it just for the self satisfaction? No, I also did it for that cool costume...yeah. Only problem is, I want that light blue classic costume from the NES games, but I can only unlock it by beating the game on very hard. So, should I do it? I struggled quite a bit through some parts on hard, and I don't know if I can make it through very hard without breaking some controllers in the process. But I really want that damn costume. When I read Game Informer's review of the game back in '05, one of the screenshot captions said something along the lines of "all costumes will be available from the outset." So I bought the game foolish believing this statement, and found out on gamefaqs that in order to receive my much desired blue costume of awesomeness, I would have to subject myself to a difficulty of masochistic proportions. I know some of you out there have beaten NGB on very hard already...so should I do it? And if so, let me know of any specific sections to be careful of. Thanks!

First, a bit of backstory. I got the first DMC back in 2001 and loved it. Then in 2003 I think, I borrowed DMC2 from a friend because I heard all the negative reviews and wanted to see for myself if they were accurate. They all were. That game is dead to me. Some people like it, but I found it extremely boring.
I avoided buying DMC3 when it was released for a couple of reasons. The first was that I, like many others, was too busy at the time with Resident Evil 4 and God of War. And second, everyone said it was way too hard. Like, harder than Ninja Gaiden hard. So I picked up the special edition earlier this year because it was cheap and the extreme difficulty was fixed. This is by far the best game in the series. Seriously, I can't see myself going back to the first game now that I've played the third one. I think that's the sign of a truly great game - one that makes it's predecessors obsolete. This probably explains why I didn't enjoy the first Half-Life game as much as the second one, because I played the second game first and the first seemed so frustrating and flawed by comparison.
But I digress. I don't know what new stuff Sony is planning for DMC4, because DMC3 has so little room for improvement. Too bad playing as Vergil isn't as fun as playing as Dante, but at least Vergil has some cool moves with the Beowulf. My favorite battle of the game is the one against the entire set of chess pieces. That was awesome and really original. DMC3: Special Edition was definitely worth the 20 bucks.

Some people just don't have opinions. Like eggsngaming.
eggsngaming must really love MovieTome and agree with every review we've ever written! What other reason could eggsngaming possibly have for not rating a single film?
