A little morbid, and scary. Still, it helps people realize just how serious the problem can be and how lucky we are it hasn't been, yet.

The game industry must be running out of ideas, just like the movie industry.

Except the goal in Pandemic 2 is to kill everyone.

Set up some research, walk away for a few minutes, game won. Where's the challenge?

Hilarious. Anyone played phage wars? It's more on the micro scale than macro like Pandemic.

Guess I'm a sick puppy - cause I prefer to play the role of the virus (and rip my hair out when Madagascar closes its port) than try to save the human race...

So.. what is the deal with this flu anyway? It has only infected a 170 thousand people with a 1% kill rate...who cares.. (besides that 1% I guess.)

They don't care either. They're dead.

Now we just need a game that simulates our current economic state and the challenge would be find the best way to recover from it!

Well, that is up for an entireley new debate on if there is life after death and if so, where they'd rather be 😛

Yawn. Wake me up when the next big thing that's going to destroy humanity comes out.

"current" pandemic?

Swine flu was soooooooo June 09

The swine flu is not even getting as much people killed as the common flu. It's a whole big nothing.

u wish. The USA is doomed. that game would be fail from the start. it's like trying to fill a gas tank with a huge gaping whole in it.

The whole swing flu thing is WAY WAY WAY overhyped. Go look up death statistics for normal flu, then compare them to the tiny numbers for swine flu. Then get back to your life and dont worry about it.

The only thing that makes swine flu dangerous is that it's not well known and studied. Yes it has a low mortality rate, but some are worried that when this year's flu season comes around, swine flu will kick back up and infect more people while we are yet unprepared to deal with it. Personally, I don't think anything is really going to happen, but who knows.
