Some recommendations off the top of my head: Trinity and Beyond; film about America's atomic bomb program and the atmospheric tests carried out between…
This news is a little depressing, although I'm not completely surprised given the financial and critical results of their latest game. They were probably done when the review scores started coming in and the Metacritic rating hit the low 70's (currently 70). Unfortunately the game came up short despite the teams best…
