Controversial Iraq War game dropped by publisherby Ben SilvermanMere weeks after its unveiling, contentious war game "Six Days in Fallujah" has reportedly been abandoned by game publisher, Konami. "After seeing the reaction to the videogame in the United States and hearing opinions sent through phone calls and e-mail, we decided several days ago not to sell it," a Konami PR rep told Asahi.com. "We had intended to convey the reality of the battles to players so that they could feel what it was like to be there."Revealed to the press earlier this month, "Six Days in Fallujah" focuses on the Second Battle of Fallujah, a grim 2004 conflict that claimed the lives of over 2,000 civilians, soldiers, and insurgents. Using a combination of firsthand accounts from three dozen U.S. soldiers and thousands of classified satellite photographs, the game attempts to recreate a week-long firefight from the perspective of U.S. Marines making their way through the dangerous streets of the war-torn city. Despite (or perhaps due to) the game's authentic bend, military veterans, peace groups and bereaved families immediately condemned the title for its touchy subject matter, claiming it was both insensitive and tasteless. Though the game was initially planned to ship in 2010, "Six Days" developer, Atomic Games, has yet to announce if it will continue to pursue the game's release.
