Pod Creatures

I've written about the Hotzone anthrax-simulation game on Virtualpolitik before, but I wasn't aware until this week that it had been transformed into the The POD Game, after the acronym for "point of dispensing." The basic interface still involves decision-making based on the statements in the speech balloons of somewhat stereotypical victims in a mass-medical situation, but now members of the public can demo the game themselves. You can learn more about their other products at Public Health Games, and I promise to deliver a full review when I am back from traveling.
