Looks interesting. Though I'm not a big fan of sim combat games.

Allster, read this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Six_Days_in_Fallujah
It seems like a fine game but there is one thing.
Described by the developer, Atomic Games, as a "survival horror game".
Wait, what?
A Survival horror game? Wasent this about the war in Iraq? Are we gonna face demons and devils in the midle of Fallujah?
Nope, that is not the answer.
It is gonna recreate the fealing of war, REAL war.
It is gonna recreate the feelings and fear of the soldiers.
I can only look forward to this!

I think it could be educational to show what the actual foot soldier goes through. At the same time however i can see that it would make some upset because I am sure they wouldn't wish anyone to experience what they had to endure. like losing a comrade in battle, as a sufferer of ptsd i wouldn't wish it on anyone. which is i'm sure how they are feeling.

The soldiers told the company to make a game, so others could get that expirence.
lol PTSD isnt a thing you can get from video games hoodie
but made me laugh NTL, anyway this game is to show you how Soldiers are feeling through the war they have suffered and endured for way to long, and why war should be the last thing on any1's mind before ending peace talks with someone 
but thats what i think
hey guys. bad news. noone will ever be able to play it. this info from ECA just released today:
News has come from Japan that Konami is dropping plans to publish Six Days in Fallujah, the controversial Iraq War game based on the bloody 2004 battle.
Quoting an unnamed P.R. rep, Asahi Shimbun reports that negative reaction to the game in the United States drove Konami's decision:
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. We had intended to convey the reality of the battles to players so that they could feel what it was like to be there.
North Carolina-based Atomic Games is developing Six Days in Fallujah in association with some veterans of the war. It seems likely that the firm will now seek a deal with a new publishing partner.
Six Days in Fallujah was plagued by negative publicity from the moment that it was announced last month. Family members of war dead denounced the game in both the U.S. and U.K. And while some gamers who are Iraq War veterans expressed an interest in playing Six Days, others were outraged. Dan Rosenthal, who publishes the GamesLaw blog and who fought in Iraq, told GamePolitics:
In order to make the game fun... it simply has to sacrifice some amount of realism for fun factor. When you do that with a war game based on a real war, with real people, you run the risk of dishonoring their memories and sacrifices, and I think that this game has a dangerous potential to do that.
Perhaps the most damning piece of news about Six Days in Fallujah, however, was a developer's cryptic comment that Iraqi insurgents were contributing to the project.

We could still see it assuming another publisher picks it up.
People need to stop canceling projects that cause any form of controversy... honestly.
