Your support helps us to tell the story
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.Based on the improbably named American street-racing show Hot Import Nights, the latest Juiced title is bold and brash.
With a heavy emphasis on modded motors this isn’t a game for racing purists, but the driving is refreshingly varied. Rather than having to doggedly work your way through every event, you'll be given objectives to achieve over the course of a number of events.
You might have to race to win, come in at a certain position or even drive so crazily that you freak out your main rival. Players are even encouraged to bet on races’ outcomes, which certainly makes multiplayer a lot more interesting. Although the graphics are serviceable, when you take a spin around London or Paris it’s tough not to compare this unfavourably with the good looks of PGR’s tracks. Still, there’s plenty here to enjoy if you’re willing to throw yourself in and start modding like mad.
