Six Days in Fallujah

This could be a brilliant idea, if executed tastefully and taken seriously:

Sourcing dozens of US Marines from Camp Pendleton’s 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, the Atomic Games-developed Six Days in Fallujah was announced this morning for Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC. Set for release “next year,” the third-person shooter takes place during the real-life 2004 US Marine-lead battle for the central Baghdad city and attempts to recreate the battle on a day-to-day basis.
