Cryptome has a short Echelon/Echelon II interview up. Also, more proof we’re living in sci-fi distopia, America’s Army, “The Official U.S. Army Game.”
Developed by the U.S. Army and a world-class team of Department of Defense experts in simulations and virtual environments, America’s Army will be available in August. The Army will distribute America’s Army for *free* in response to requests at America’s Army and GoArmy.com, through distribution partners that include leading computer game magazines, at Army events, at recruiting stations, and through internet download. The game is rated “T” for Teen by the Entertainment Software Ratings Board.
Of course, it’s free, and it looks like it might be fun, so sure I’ll be getting a copy. I don’t think I’ll be signing up at the recruiting station anytime soon though. Of course, Joe Camel didn’t make me want to smoke either, but apparently that kind of stuff works on some people.
