Too Soon?


Check out this article in the Wall Street Journal. Is it me or is this just a little uncomfortable to be viewed as an "entertaining" experience. When is war far enough removed (i.e. WWII) that you can have fun playing it in game form?
In its defense this game has a lot of pros in its favor: It will be used as a military simulator to train troops and it will serve as an accurate account of what our brave men and women did in Iraq during the 2004 Battle of Fallujah adding "some humanity to the subject." What worries me is how those who are still in the armed forces or those who have lost someone during this conflict will react to the material. What say you? Two more pics after the jump.



Six Days in Fallujah is being developed by Atomic Games and published by Konami.
