It may still be in limbo, but Atomic Games is doing everything to bring Six Days in Fallujah (PS3, Xbox 360, and PC) back to the world of the living. The developer has started shopping the game around to other prospective publishers.

Not so fast. Konami may have withdrawn their publisher's support for Six Days in Fallujah, but that doesn't mean the game's completely canned just yet. Atomic Games is still committed to finish developing their game: it's all just a matter of finding a new publisher. Which leaves us asking... who's going to pick it up now?

Talk about a blast from the past. Still remember Atomic Game' and Microsoft's Close Combat series, a.k.a. "Zerg-rushing = suicide"? In case you don't (young whippersnapper), it's a Real-Time Tactics (RTT) game you play from the squad-to-company level, where the units are historically researched and intricately modeled with morale, psychology, and endurance so you can't play it stupidly, i.e., rushing an infantry horde at a machine gun nest.

Well, Destineer purchased Atomic Games - and hence the series - and has partnered with Matrix Games to produce a remake of sorts, updated to current generation specs. Hey, it's been six years since the last one. Close Combat: Cross of Iron must be based on the third Close Combat game, as both are based on the same campaigns in World War II: the Russian campaigns between the Nazis and the Soviet Union. Screens from WorthPlaying abound.
