Undiscovered World: The Incan Sun Review

Saturday, October 17th, 2009

What is life if it is not a big adventure? In Undiscovered World: The Incan Sun, our hero has crashed his plane on a not so remote area once inhabited by the Incans. The first thing our hero does is find objects scattered about his plane in true hidden object game style. It is not long before the hero finds there is more to the area than he expected.

Objects aren’t always what you would expect to see either. For example: the list said phone. I was not thinking about this being set in an earlier era so I was looking for a typical phone. Finally, after finding everything else on the list, I found the phone. The phone was the type you would see on the Andy Griffith Show. You know the type I am talking about. You grab the earpiece and talk into a mouthpiece still attached to the wall. Then you ask an operator to call someone.

The last thing that made the game more difficult was the names. I don’t know about you but it is not often I see the word Anubis. Now, I have watched enough tomb raiding and Egyptian movies to know this will probably be a dog-like statue, but it was still unusual.

Each section has the list of objects to find but there is more. Along with the given list, you must find the two hidden statues. The statues allow you uncover the secret of the undiscovered world. While it is not required, there are coins for you to collect too. The coins give you hints on finding the objects that you just can’t find.At the end of a level, there is a mini-puzzle. The puzzle is not difficult at all. Matter of fact, the puzzle pieces are lined on the board. So putting the puzzle together doesn’t provide much of a challenge.

The game has a timer that counts up, not down, like most hidden object games. For maximum points, click accurately, click fast, and click multiple items in a row. This is the only way you will be considered an expert at a level. It will take practice because matching the names to the items is not as easy as it sounds. Clicking too many wrong items will not only destroy your accuracy but will also get you a time penalty.

Undiscoverd World: The Incan Sun can be found at MarcoPoloGames. There you can try games out before you buy them.

Here Are Some Dropshipping Web Site Ideas

Friday, October 16th, 2009

There are literally thousands of ordinary people, many such as you, who have begun earning an income on the web. These folks did not create any great new invention, nor do they make their own merchandise. As a matter of fact, they don’t even stock the products they sell! How can this be? It simple to do with a drop shipping business.

So how do you break into the drop shipping business? It’s actually very simple – you can accomplish it with your own web page, or even with no web site by using free sites like eBay or Squidoo. Create a PayPal account, put your products online, and you are in business. But where do the products come from?

The technique of drop shipping has been around for a long time – even before the advent of the Internet. The way it works is straightforward – you advertise and sell the products- and your drop ship supplier sends the orders to your clients – with your company name on the invoice. The customer has no idea or cares that the item did not ship from you directly. Some great product ideas include drop ship jewelry or drop ship electronics or even drop ship clothing.

The advantages of the technique are easy to see – no stock costs, no stockroom, no shipping hassles. You need to use a honest source to find your suppliers, however. Don’t use web sites that want to sell you items directly, only buy direct from the company that really produces or distributes the products to other businesses. You will be surprised how many vendors will allow dropshipping of their products.
