Now I'm sure a lot of you will think I'm nuts but I am convinced that the game The Darkness broke my 360. Here's my reasoning: My 360 has never given me any problems...ever. That was untill I started playing The Darkness. While playing this game my 360 would start crashing and I'd have to turn it off and back on again. I could play any other game without any problems.. but as soon as I'd play The Darkness it would crash. I then got this part in the game where you had to get a cannon or something to help you kill the darkness... or something like that. At that point in the game it crashed every time. I would reboot, load the game and it would crash straight away again.... every time. I could then load up another game and the console would be fine.. no crashes in any other game at all. It was after one such crash during The Darkness that I turned the console off and on again that it started flashing the 3 red lights. I turned it off and on again and it started booting but crashed on the Xbox 360 logo screen. I left it off for a day and when I turned it on the next day it booted to the dashboard. Cool! I popped in Forza 2 but as soon as the game started it crashed. I tried some Bomberman... but it crashed again. Now it's at the stage where it just comes up with the 3 red lights and thats it. Is it a strange coincidence that it only ever crashed in The Darkness? No, not since there are plenty of reports all over the forums of it crashing other 360's. Is it a coincidence that my 360 died after one of these The Darkness crashes? I don't think so.. I am convinced all those The Darkness induced crashes somehow contributed towards my 360's death. Call me crazy but this is not the first time a game has been blamed for the death of 360's. When Forza 2 came out it too was being blamed for causing the dreaded 3 red lights on a number of 360's. It would be interesting if more research could be done into whether it would be possible for a game to break a 360. Untill proven otherwise I am convinced that The Darkness broke my Xbox.
