Thats.... odd. Ive never had a game crash so badly it woulden't launch again.. I think its a extremely rare bug or something with your Computer... Its not always the game..............

Happened to me with Civ4... It wouldn't open, or run for more than two minutes. :P

i've had games crash so badly that windows had to be reinstalled... but that wasnt necessarily the games fault.

It happened to me before with Google Earth, if that counts.
