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.
Your support makes all the difference.As they promised, Ubisoft have launched gameplay footage from Assassin's Creed 3 having had the target of a recent social media campaign completed by the game’s legions of fans.
We already knew that the game was based within the time of the American Revolutionary War, but up until now it has been unknown just how far evolved this third entry into the franchise was from its predecessors in gameplay terms.
While a full breakdown of the trailer is forthcoming, a first look suggest a number of improvements over previous instalments. Animations seem filled with that little bit more panache, our white-clad hero that more ruthless, his world even more custom built for free-running (witness the leaping through a window, into a room, and out the other side and you’ll see what we mean), while his enemies seem as much at war with each other as they are the assassin amongst their midsts.
Stand-out scenes include the use of a hapless soldier as a human shield and a close call with a grizzly, but until we compile our own thoughts we’ll leave you to give us your own reaction.
