Google Play Reco's: Plague Inc

I have definitely gotten a plague thanks to miniclip :) This time around I am really hooked on a game that put the lives of billions of people in your hands quite literally. Plague for me is like playing a game of chess with the world as you evolve your chosen pathogen to eradicate the human world. Sinister as it may sound but the challenge is quite a good learning experience for me as well.


As I go through the moves of starting an infection, I gain insight into the world of the CDC as one get to see how one small pathogen(bacteria, virus, fungus, etc..) can bring billions of people to their knees in a matter of a few years. It shows how if a pathogen evolves and spreads like wildfire, especially if it starts in a country that is low on funds, over-populated and if symptoms are weak to start with to be ignored. The simple ignorance that people have with regards to these symptoms also showed me how easily one can spread it to someone else and by the time it has evolved to cause more damage, then unfortunately it has proven to be too little too late. That is what I feel that game is trying to teach its gamers - awareness of what might be.

Here is what the makers of Plague Inc. have to say about their game:

★★★★★ The # 1 mobile strategy game is here ★★★★★

Overall, Plague Inc. is really an awesome strategy game that has a good message to spread. Each pathogen has a special talent/curse that one has to work with as you work on global dominion which in this case winning is where you get to wipe out the human race completely. Try to catch the bug and check out Plague Inc. It'll be worth getting hooked on. 
Till Next Time...
