The Most Controversial War Video Game Ever?

This week on the Scuttlebutt, we talk about the recent controversy surrounding the upcoming video game, SIX DAYS IN FALLUJAH. Based on the Second Battle of Fallujah, the publisher advertises the game as a "first-person tactical military shooter that recreates true stories of Marines, Soldiers, and Iraqi civilians during the toughest urban battle since 1968."  Of the questions we ask: should a video game tell a true war story? And is the controversy warranted? You can read more about SIX DAYS on Military.com and the controversy on IGN.com. Images from reddit.com.
 

We're always looking for guests, program ideas, and sponsors. Please let us know if you have any ideas to share!
