Konami has canceled plans to publish the third-person shooter and combat simulator Six Days in Fallujah. Based on the battle of Fallujah during the Iraq War, the game draws on the experiences of real-life Marines and depicts real events. Developer Atomic Games interviewed not only 47 U.S. Marines, but also civilians and enemy insurgents.rnThe game's cancellation shows what's wrong with the game business. "Every form of media has grown by producing content about current events, content that's powerful because it's relevant," says Atomic Games' Peter Tamte. "Video game creators can help people understand things that can't even be communicated through pictures."
