Pandemic 2, one of the better strategy flash games available, has been out for a year now. What's the response from the original developer? Time for a new iteration. Pandemic: Swine Flu is that (semi)-sequel, and unlike Pandemic 2, it's not about infecting populations. Rather, it's about eliminating the swine flu inside the United States. A Pandemic game where you don't play as the virus may sound strange, but this latest addition to the series is excellent, so don't overlook it!

Pandemic: Swine Flu revolves around using different operations to reduce or eliminate the swine flu across America. Operations include handing out masks, vaccinating the public, shutting down hospitals and borders, and censoring the media's reports of the flu. It would have been nice if there was a way to speed up time, but even as is, the game takes place at a good pace, and when the US starts to become more infected, you'll definitely know. You can play the game on Kongregate.
