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.

What’s black and white and red all over?

Mad-World, the game that takes the Wii’s

family reputation and runs it through with a

monochrome chainsaw. With its stark comic-

book visuals, rivers of blood and a

never-ending stream of profanity-heavy

dialogue, this ismore like the film Sin City

than the average beat-‘em-up. You play

as Jack, an anti-hero out to win a contest

called Death Watch, which sees contestants

running riot through cities, killing their

opponents in order to be captured on CCTV.

By linking together complex attacks, players

win big points that in turn allow them to commit

ever more impressive crimes. MadWorld has

more style than substance but it marks a true

departure for the Wii.
