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.

Another NES classic gets the modern makeover treatment in the form of Bionic Commando. There’s a backstory based on a missing wife and soldiers with mechanical enhancements – and that’s all you need to know. What’s far more important is that the game is all about swinging – from buildings, lamposts, trees – if the swing icon appears next to something, you can launch yourself at it and use your bionic arm to soar. Throw in some hi-octane combat and you have a fun, if dumb, slice of action.
