December 14, 2009 - Six Days in Fallujah claims to be one of the most realistic war video games ever created, and it's also one of the most controversial. The game has garnered so much negative press that the publisher, Konami, has dropped it like a proverbial hot potato, leaving developer Atomic Games in a precarious position. If they don't get a publisher soon, the company may cease to exist and the game may never see the light of day.Six Days in Fallujah follows the real-life exploits of American forces during the 46-day battle that took place in this central Iraqi city. The battle began on November 7, 2004 and lasted to December 23 of the same year. More than 1,000 insurgents were killed, and 38 U.S. Soldiers lost their lives.

Some claim that this game is disrespectful to those that lost their lives. They call it tasteless. The outcry comes from soldiers, officers, anti-war groups, members of the U.S. Governments, and also from family members of the slain soldiers. That's hard-boiled controversy. So, can you blame Konami for not wanting to touch this?Get exclusive at Cheat Happens.
