<b>Google Earth War</b><br>
The next link is to an interesting little google hack called Google Earth War.
It involves at the start searching around the world to find jewels once. Once
you have done that you can start to buy oil minds and cotton fields that will generate
profit from there you can buy armies and invade cities. I have had a bit of a
play and I think its worth a look. It really is amazing <br>
