Plague Inc is a simulation game where you create a disease, give it a name, select a country to start spreading it to, and watch as your disease grows to epidemic proportions. Though the game sounds morbid, it is actually filled with strategy as you try to maneuver how the disease is spread and what symptoms go along with. For 99 cents this game provides three levels of play: casual, normal and brutal. You collect DNA points to further the levels of how the diseases spreads and its symptoms while trying to fight against cures being made that can wipe your disease out.This infectious game has spread to being the number one paid app on the iTunes chart and is available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch and can be downloaded here on iTunes.
