At the Magnolia Springs Hotel just south of Governors Creek and on the bank of the St. Johns River was Clay County’s biggest and best of the 1800s tourist hotels. Built in 1881, Bostonian Isaac Crufts’ hostelry had all the latest bells and whistles including one of the nation’s earliest nine-hole golf courses. The hotel’s extensive brochure touted it as "probably the best golf course in Florida" and claimed it "closely resembled the best Scottish links". The course was approximately a mile and a half long and was supervised by professional golfer and instructor Philip H. Honeyman. Continue reading >>>

In 1649 Charles 1 King of England was beheaded largely because he tried to raise taxes without the authority of parliament. Ever since then it has been the staple of democratic politics for parliaments, and more specifically the lower elected houses, to periodically approve taxes and budgets.

Though the two may appear to share certain themes, Dishonored comes not from BioShock's Bostonian Irrational Games but from Arkane Studios in Lyon, east-central France.

That connection is more than apparent in the latest batch of screenshots, some of which detail exterior exploration and conflict, others revealing seedy interior secrets. Publisher Zenimax has Dishonored and Prey 2 on the slate Continue reading >>>
