Pandemic

Games offer you a chance to be many things from stickmen to cute puppies in go-carts but never have we seen a game that turns you into a virus with the simple goal of wiping out mankind from the face of the Earth. You start out as a simple case of bad flu and most gradually evolve into a global killer and lay waste to the globe in 200 days. To do that you have to kill!

The more people die from being infected, the more points you get. These points can then be used to evolve nasty new abilities like resistance to heat, causing swelling and organ-failure and becoming waterborne. The latter means you can start to infect water-plants around the world, making you a more efficient killer by spreading faster. The game takes a little while to really get going but evolving into something nastier and nastier while watching the dead toll go up and up makes it all worth it.
