Pandemic 2
A strategy game where YOU are the sickness. You start off as either a virus, bacterium or parasite, then try to infect the whole world through a series of changes in the symptoms you cause as well as how infectious you are. You can't be too noticeable and strong all at once because people will try and find a cure for you, but you can't be too weak also because you won't get to infect any people outside the country that you start in. It's basically a numbers game.
Also, once you play the game, you'll be able to get this.

Don't Look Back
A bit of an experimental game, this is a short platformer by Terry Cavanagh, creator of the Self Destruct shmup. This takes a pixelated man (or woman) on a journey to death and beyond. Or so I think.

TIGSource Wrote:Spewer is the latest release from Edmund McMillen, and in my opinion, his most mature… design-wise! Thematically, it’s a puzzle platform game about a lab animal that pukes and eats its own puke, which can easily serve as a metaphor for the way game designers are forced to consume and regurgitate each other’s ideas to get ahead, or how players are simply animals subjected to cruel experiments created by game developers. Or maybe it’s just gross and funny. Either way, the mechanic is fresh and is stretched very well across the game’s 50-odd levels. Big props to the game’s programmer, Eli Piilonen, who did some impressive work with the physics. It handles great.
The game runs in a browser and is also available as a standalone executable and Flash file.
