Six Days in Fallujah. Okay, yeah, technically it wasn't cancelled, it just lost most of it's backing, and even though I've heard rumors that it might still come out, my take has been that the situation looks pretty grim, especially since Atomic laid off most of their staff. Still, what I saw of that game made me think that it would be a really incredibly powerful piece. I felt like maybe it would make it easier to sympathize with what the guys over in Iraq are going through if I played it, that it would bring a sense of depth and immediacy to a story that, for the most part, is half way around the world from me, so I just let it be and don't pay attention.
Six Days struck me as being a serious and important game, one which, if accepted, would bring a lot of legitimacy to the medium by demonstrating how powerfully it can be used to show people what modern war is like. I really wanted to play it, and understand more than I do now, and it I really wish it had come out.
