So don’t miss the opportunity to save money on games. Its just a week left until the August, 1st

A plot of this game is a story about children who used a grandfather’s time machine. They made lots of mess in different time and places. And they’ve been lost. Your goal is to help the grandfather to clean the mess and find the kids.

In this game you can also learn more about the different historical places and events.

The Clumsy’s features a smooth animation and cartoon characters. Some of the kids lookst really awful to me, and I am not sure how good is the idea to put cartoons over the photorealistic scenes. But I can’t say that it makes the graphics too bad.

There is a description for every scene about the historical events that it shows. Some of the scenes belongs to the ancient European history, while the others comes from american history. You’ll see a workshops of great artists, inventors, and even visit the “Apollo” spaceship during it’s flight.

Besides of seeking for the hidden objects, you will need to put the messed objects back to their places and search for the missing kids using a special device.  I think that innovations are always good, especially when they are unique and also interesting to play.

The Clumsy’s is a bit monotonous game. You have to play same tasks on different locations. I have played about a quarter of the game - and there were nothing unexpected. Despite of this, its a great hidden objects game to play.

Dairy Dash is a cute time management game about the life on the farm. You have to help the family of farmers with their everyday’s job. Starting with just a few chikens and two goats, the farm is growing as you move in the game. And believe me, its easy to manage a farm when you have just few animals. But when you have plenty of them and also the garden, its a real challenge.

Your farmer must feed the animals and to collect a food that they produce. If you also have a garden, you need to water and to weed it several times before you can harvest the vegetables. When the farm is growing, other family members comes to help. Each man in the farm can do one task at a time. So when you have more helpers, you can work much faster. Because whileee the farmer, for example, is weeding the garden, his wife can feed the animals. The idea of several workers that can do the same tasks makes Dairy Dash different from other time management games.

Another significant difference is that the points that you are earning are now depends on how fast you can do your job. Each animal and garden have a production cycle. For example, the animal is asking you to feed it, then to water it, then it makes some food and finally it goes to sleep for a while. And then asking about the food and water, producing food and sleeping again. From the morning to the evening. So the faster you work - the more food you can collect until the evening.

Sometimes you can get offers that helps you to make more money, like a call from the Flo when she tells you that she is going to buy eggs that you collect after the dinner for a double price. Such events can help you to finish a level with an expert score.

I can’t say anything bad about Dairy Dash. Its a small cute game, and I liked it a lot. Although the graphics looks simple, it is actually very nice. As a whole, its a great time management game to play.

By the way, you can buy it wih a 30% discount at EmotionRays.com. Just check the comments for the discount code. The offer is valid until September 9, 2008.

Well, its just a small summer gift from me =)

But before trying this game, I have to aware you that there are several realistic pictures of dead bodies in this game (not the bloody pictures, but with a signs of violence). So, if you don’t like to see such pictures or you don’t want your children to look at them, DO NOT play this game!

Serial killers are probably the most dangerous criminals. They kill with no reason, and its very hard to predict them. A serial killer is a real challenge to the detective. And in Women’s Murder Club you have to investigate a series of murders that were done by a single man or organization. All victims are the young women, and all of them have a chinese-like hieroglyphs carved on the chest.

You are helping a team of three professionals to find as many evidences as possible to track and arrest the murderer.

You need to visit a crime scene to find any items that may belongs to the killer and to take samples from the dead body. Then you should use all possible methods to find as many information from your findings as possible. Some samples will be used for a chemical tests. The other may point on some places or some people, who might kinow something. You will also use a computer to check fingerprints, to browse a database of missing people and to search in the police archive for certain people or events.

What you don’t need to do in this game is to question witnesses. Although there are some cutscenes where the main characters are talking to them. I am personally don’t like to question witnesses in detective games. Its usually a “guess the right question” puzzle. Takes plenty of time, but don’t really fun.

Instead of that, you will be busy with a numerous minigames that will help you to access the certain places or items. Some of them are really challenging, like a minigame where you need to place chemicals in the right order by solving the logical and math hints on the labels.

Women’s Murder Club: Death In Scarlet is based on a detective story written by the novelist James Patterson. I have found on his website that a Twentieth Century Fox TV is making a so-named movie based on the same story.

So, if you like detective games, don’t miss this diamond for your collection. Because this game is a perfect example of a balance between the fun and detective’s daily routine. The developers of Women’s Murder Club have made a good solid game, and I hope that you will enjoy it as much as I did.

I have to say that I’ve never been in such a hell! You have about fifteen passengers, and they all are asking you to do something. Some wants to eat, others wants to drink. Someone need a first aid kit and another one want to change his seat. And they need it all NOW! A good time to understand that two hands and two legs are not enough…

So, welcome to the madness!

First Class Flurry is breaking a traditional concept of customers that come and leave. Now you have all of them in one place. When they are waiting for too long - they don’t leave, but cancel their orders. And the worst thing is that they all may need you at the same time.

The passengers are asking about many different services. A new service is added for almost every level. Sometimes you need to do several tasks to fulfill the passenger’s request. For example, when a passenger is asking for a cup of tea, you have to pick up a cup first and then fill it with a tea. The same for the cup of coffee and food (you have to prepare meals by mixing two ingredients).

There are many upgrades to make passengers more patient, and just a few ones to increase the productivity of the main hero. Believe me, when you have 12 or 15 passengers who wants something from you at the same time, their patience matters.

You also can use several power-ups to speed up your protege or to make passengers happy if they waited for too long. Its important to use these power-ups wisely if you want to get an expert score for the levels.

I can’t say that First Class Flurry have addicted me as much as Supermarket Mania or Jane’s Hotel: Family Hero. Its a good game, but I was confused of too much requests from passengers on higher levels. It was hard to decide what to do, and it was even harder to keep in mind what should be done despite of hints that are displayed above each passenger who need something. Phew! Its a very hardcore time management game.

But if you like challenges, you have to try this game. Oh, and don’t forget to take a look at the stork who appears sometimes outside the ariplane. Isn’t it a baby in his beak?

EmotionRays.com is not a new website. I own it since 2003. And I am selling games from other developers since 2004. In fact, my website is much older than Logler or GameZebo. It has the same age with Big Fish Games. But unlike those websites, EmotionRays.com is a good example of an unsuccessful game archive.

Just some facts: the average daily visits of EmotionRays.com is about 1600 unique visitors. The average profit is about $350/Month. The monthly payment to keep the website live is $137. There are just a few thousands of registered members, and most of them have never come back. None of marketing actions (like discounts, gifts for activity and so on), that successfully worked on other websites, works here.

So, I can’t tell you what to do to build a successful online business. But I can teach you what to do to be unsuccessful.

Rule 1. Don’t Act Too Much, Give It Time

There are millions of prospects in the Internet. And they are using search engines to find something to buy.
So its like a fishing, you have just to sit and wait until one of them will accidently come to your website and buy something. Since there are millions of them, you can be sure to have 2 or 3 sales every day.

Rule 2. Design Is Important

The most important thing for the website is to have a professional design. Spend most of your money into designers and create something like a Da Vinci’s picture. Your visitors will like the view of your website. They will even tell you about it. However, its still a mystery why most of them don’t like to use your website…

Rule 3. You Know Your Customers Better Than They Know Themselves

NEVER even try to make a dialog with a customer. Read many books istead. Books about the web design and online marketing. Do what they say, - they know your customers much better than you can imagine. However, don’t be surprised to see the authors of such books with no spare money to spend and no successful business online…

Rule 4. Offer Gifts

Offering gifts is probably the best way to spread the news about your website over the world. A news that some company is stupid enough to give something for nothing. This smart marketing decision will get you a LOTS of visitors who never buy, but do everything to get a free gift. However, the mystery is where to get the money to buy the promised gifts for them…

Rule 5. Explain To Your Visitors Why Your Website Is Better Than…

So, you are so cool to invent some feature that www.myassholecompetitors.com don’t have and never had before. That is just great! I mean, a great reason to explain your visitors why they should use your website - because you have something that www.somedomain.com don’t have. And those who are using that somedomain.com every day should switch on your website. However, there are just two or three visitors who ever used the ‘key’ feature, and your competitor is still strong enough to not even notice your presence.

Rule 6. Be Above The Crowd. Be Individual

Professional community sucks. They already have friendly relationship with your primary competitors. And they will not give you any helpful advice because of that. So you need to fight your own way to the top to make the others to respect you. And that is the only way to get some respect. However, most of the rapidly grown competitors says on their websites that they are very grateful to… their own competitors for helping them to grow.

Rule 7. Make Generous Offers To Strangers

When you don’t have enough money to pay people for their work, you always can try to find someone who will agree to help you for a share in your business. Just let it be - when you already have nothing, you have nothing to lose. Anyway, its still hard to understand why ALL of such “partners” are always cheating. They try to take all your business or they just leave on a half-way…
Rule 8. Just Give Up!

When you finally understand that everything you do make no positive influence on your business, its a great time to fall into a depression, or even to start to drink. Tell your friends how stupid you are. Tell yourself how foolish you are. Cry about your low skills. And bury your business, or sell it for a few thousand dollars to someone else…

Now Seriously…

Believe me or not, but I did ALMOST EVERYTHING from this list. I said ALMOST, because I am not going to sell EmotionRays.com. I don’t have much of customers, but I realize that I am responsible for any of them. Even if there will be just one customer who will use his lifetime discounts at least once a year, I am responsible to keep these discounts for him. If there will be just one customer who will need any kind of technical support for his purchase - I am responsible to give a technical support to him. I gave the promises to people who believed me. So you can come to EmotionRays.com with no fear, open an account there and enjoy all the promised benefits. They won’t disappear until at least one of you will use them.

You might already know, that in time management games you have to serve customers. But in the Supermarket Mania they can serve themselves pretty well. Well enough to make you busy.

In this game, customers just come to your supermarket and take what they need from showcases. And your job is to keep the showcases full of goods. Because if customers can’t find what they want for a long time, they just leave and you lost the money.

Different customers have different preferences on food. For example, grannies just love sausages. Especially with a milk. Teens are usually don’t get too much. They prefer soda, cakes and the ice-cream. Ladies are buying many different groceries, but just a few from each of them. And gentlemen are always love to buy a lot from almost every showcase.

Most of customers have really bad manners. They love to “accidently drop” their paperbags. And its up to you to pick them up and put into the refuse bin. Teens like to run between the showcases and drop everything on the floor. And the guard won’t pay attention on that until you “click” on him. And what is the most frustrating in this game - just tell me, whose creative mind have created such a small showcases? I can put just four chickens or six wheels of cheese, or just several fishes or sausages into them. And when there are lots of customers, it is very hard to be quick enough to fill the empty showcases in time.

Yes, you can buy upgrades in this game. But none of them will make you happy about the bigger showcases. Most of upgrades are increasing the food price. Besides of that, you can buy a bigger shopping cart (this will allow you to fill more showcases before visiting a storehouse for more goods). Or you can buy a coffee machine to speed up your protege for a while

As you proceed with the game, you become more and more valuable to your bosses. Starting from a small and dirty supermarket somewhere in the outskirts, you soon become a manager of a shiny modern shop in the rich distinct. What could be better than such a breath-taking career? Well, you tell me - my trial time is over, and I simply can’t buy every great game that I review. So I would be glad to know how it ends.

I want to thank everyone who participated in my survey. With your feedbacks in mind, I am developing a brand new website for EmotionRays.com. It will be very different from the current one, and it will have some features that no one other has So, let me share some fresh screenshots of the new website with you.

This is the index page. As you can see, the new design is finally looks like my blog (or better say my blog is finally looks like the new website). I’ve finally added daily discounts. And on the bottom of the page I’ve put a list of most popular games from the most popular categories (you can’t see it on the screenshot). I have also increased a font size, so you should be able to read it well now.

This is the list of games in selected category. As you can see, I’ve added one more sorting options - “Most downloaded” games. I’ve also put more games on the page because it is wider now.

There are two buttons on the left of a category header. They allow you to switch between different modes of the list. Lets try how it works…

Now you can see even more games on the page. If you never read a game description, this mode is very useful to you. Besides, you will be able to see the complete information about the game in the popping baloon that appears when you hold a cursor over the game title or a screenshot for a moment.

Well, that’s all or now. If you have suggestions or comments, I’d gladly listen to them. And this is why I don’t post reviews every day - I need to pay much attention to the new website. And I hope that you will like it.

That is why its hard for me to review this game. When I played it, I had this feeling. There are small amount of objects on every level and they seems to be placed very quickly. The special effects are too cheap. A storyline seems to be separated from the levels… However, it has some interesting features. And I would like to share with you about them.

The game itself is very simple. First, they tells you a story about a prince (I just skipped it). Then they gives you a map with many rectangles joined by lines. And there are 3 points in each rectangle which means 3 levels in the same room.

There are many different kinds of gameplay for the levels. In most of them you have to find objects from the list, spot differences between two pictures, place pieces inside a mosaic, find some number of similar objects, find some number of pair objects and solve simple logical puzzles like in Azada. But this list is not complete and sometimes you are asked to do something really extraordinary for the hidden object games.

In each room, you have to play three different kinds of gameplay.

Sometimes, when you passed a few rooms, the game show you another chapter of a storyline. Its just a picture with some text below. So I just skipped it.

The Sultan’s Labyrinth is not as good game as Azada or Dream Chronicles. But it fulfilled one of my dreams! See, I am not a native English speaker. And when I play hidden objects, I have to use a dictionary to translate some object names into Ukrainian. And this game have no levels where obects are listed by their names!

Yes, they are using contours everytime you need to find objects from the list. So you just need to recognize the object by it’s contour instead of browsing a number of images at Google trying to find out how the object might looks like. If you are not a native English speaker like me, don’t miss this game!

There is just one thing in the game that have really confused me. I thought that a “?” button on bottom-right is a hint. But I was wrong. When you need a help finding object, you have to click on a magic lamp that usually displayed at the top right corner.

I believe that a game that based on the ancient arabian theme can be more beautiful. The ancient arabians had an excellent taste, and they made the most beautiful clothes, carpets and buildings in ancient world. Unfortunately, this game doesn’t express this beauty. And it doesn’t have an addictive storyline that you may want to follow. So I give it 4 stars of 5. Just because of some innovative ideas, and - well, it is still interesting to play
