From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

With up-to-date teams, leagues and competitions Total Soccer is everything that footie fanatics could hope of.

Live Wire HH
PlayStation Fancy a bit of wacky, action-packed, colourful fun? Well, then take a look at SCI's new release, Live Wire. The game features some of the most bizarre gameplay to date. Players have to guide their Bomberman-esque characters around several 3D levels, with the aim of drawing more squares than their opponents. Despite some attractive features, Live Wire is lacking in many respects, with some poor graphics and tedious gameplay. Unfortunately for SCI, Live Wire is more of a short circuit.

Glover HHH
Nintendo 64 There have been many unusual video game heroes in the past, from skeletons to baby dinosaurs, but none can compare to Glover, Nintendo's creation who has to save the Crystal Kingdom, single-handedly. In this action adventure game players take control of Glover, a magical glove, and must complete more than 30 levels by solving puzzles, defeating the baddies, and returning the missing crystals. The graphics are excellent, but the gameplay is repetitive. Glover does entertain, but the appeal wears off.
