The recreation of great historical battles in video game format is nothing new, but Konami shall be the first to tackle the War in Iraq with their third-person shooter Six Days in Fallujah. It is being developed for the Xbox 360, Playstation 3, and the PC. This brave take on a recent war is set to release some time next year and will follow the heroic actions of a real Marine-led battle that took place only five years ago.

Atomic Games president Peter Tamte told the Wall Street Journal that they plan to “Replicate a specific and accurate time line- we mean six days literally.” They also said that they have no plans to make a social commentary, only an accurate portrayal of a real war.

Perhaps one of the most interesting things about this video game is that people who fought in these battles could potentially play this title.
