Six Days No More

Konami has been working on a game called Six Days in Fallujah, a recreation of one of the bloodiest battles of the Iraq War. My father was in the military and even served overseas for months at a time, so this particular topic strikes a special chord with me. But most of the points I would make about the game, or its recent cancellation in the face of numerous outraged protests, have already been said for me, very eloquently and passionately, here. Have a read, and see how far our favorite entertainment medium has fallen.

Art. Yeah, right. Not if it can't even be allowed to make a point about life, the universe, and everything in it.
