Europe may not see Fallujah game
Konami undecided, say reports.
German and Dutch journalists invited to last week's Konami event in Germany have reported that the publisher is undecided about bringing Six Days in Fallujah to Europe.
According to GamePro.de and De Telegraaf (thanks Joystiq), representatives for the company said that the way developer Atomic Games presents the action would be a significant factor in its decision.
Six Days in Fallujah has inevitably attracted controversy since its announcement last week, with some groups calling for a ban while others argued the opposite.
Interestingly, given Konami Europe's apparent caution, Andy McNab highlighted the cultural differences between the US and the UK when he spoke to TechRadar last week.
"In America a 90-year-old and a 12-year-old will know what happened at Fallujah. It's on the TV, there are books about it. The game is a natural extension to that; it is folklore. The only difference being that it is presented in a different medium," he said.
Konami has said the third-person shooter will be released for PS3, 360 and PC next year, and that it worked with "over three dozen US Marines to help develop the game along with unprecedented access to battle plans, after-action reports, photos, videos and satellite maps".
We've contacted Konami for comment.

Official PlayStation Magazine frequently covers these sorts of games (although, fortunately, in no great detail).

Wargames like many other types of games get bad press. But some people are so sensitive about anything they will complain about it. You could argue that it is still raw and shouldnt be made, but how far back do you go? Isnt it strange that TV can show these things but games cannot?
A few years ago I was going to make a wargame about the British and the Zulu wars, but the guy I was working with didnt want to make it because he didnt want to upset people (1879). A few years ago the British government were being hassled to give out compensation to people whos great great relatives were involved in the slave trade (1833). You have certain parts Britiain wanting independence because of something that happened hundreds of years ago.
Unfortunately the human race is full of muppets who cannot just move on in their lives and are really looking for any excuse to bring up the past, get money or just complain. So I say games companies should just make it, because regardless of what they make (and when they make it), there will always be someone who will complain.

Next match play as a car bomb & be the driver/bomber. You could have hallucinations of many virgins in heaven clouding your judgement as you sweat to end it all, with a multi score bonus for killing more infidels in the explosion.
War is shite but it makes for a good game.

People seem to forget Iraqi wasnt doing that well before the invasion. (Not saying that it was right to invade or they didnt mess up bigtime), but as usual Dictators seem to be able to kill hundreds of thousands of people and no one complains until someone else invades them.
I think it would be a shame if the game gets released everywhere except Europe, whats the point of that!

Also, there are too few games about killing jews in Auswitch. It could be so FUN.
