Six Days in Fallujah may get another publisher. Atomic Games head honcho Peter Tamte recently told Newsweek that the game has garnered some interest since being dropped by Konami as a result of phone calls and possibly more than one nasty electronic mail. (Whoops.)
“We have a lot of people who are interested in the project,” Tamte said “But I’ll feel better when we sign something and the checks start coming.”
It appears as though Atomic Games desperately needs those checks. In Tamte’s estimation, the studio needs around 20 million more dollars to finish the game. If they don’t receive that amount, he believes it could fold. Bummer.
We managed to see Six Days in Fallujah in action while Konami was parading it around and managing the criticism lobbed at it. It didn’t look like a terrible game. But it certainly wasn’t as evil as Konami allegedly came to believe it to be.

I have no interest in this game.
because it was bad for pr (they unveiled it and families of deaceased Marines
spoke out). If they thought it was that evil they probably wouldn't have
backed it up to that point.
Are you Americans so ashamed of your Oil Hungry Wars?
I'd like to see what these guy n galls have, and I hope they can get some footage or a demo out to help push it. I think its then and only then, many will say they'll buy it.
I'd still buy this game anyway. While previous attempts at creating this kind of game might have failed, I think in a post Bioshock world, it is possible to produce product both entertaining and thought provoking. I hope it turns out well, so Konami regret dumping it.
