The video game publisher, Konami, has announced they had dropped the first person shooter game, “Six Days In Fallujah” from getting released. Konami will NOT release the game due to it’s controversial content with the game being about War In Iraq. It’s a first person shooter survival horror game. While the game does not have zombies or vampires or any monsters, it is described as the Marines visiting scary places with scary things happening inside of them.
The game was scheduled for release in 2010, but Konami has pulled the game’s release.

Don’t worry folks, another video game publishing company will pick up the deal and release it, I’m sure. The game’s already creating a buzz now and it has the possibility of being the largest selling game in video game history.
While I understand why the game is creating controversy and anger, I’ll be honest, that the game actually looks pretty interesting and fun to me.
This just goes to show that the media doesn’t know anything about video games. The only reason Konami pulled it ’cause of the public outrage and they were afraid that no one would buy it.
There are plenty of video games over the years that were based on all wars. Hell, where do you think “Wolfenstein 3D’ came from? It’s a WWII inspired game since it’s about Nazis.
If this “Fallujah” game gets released, I gauruntee it will be a world record breaking smash. The kids will be all over this game. I think it’s an interesting idea for a first person shooter.
