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.

Presumably, game publishers hawk dismal collections of poorly animated minigames on the cheap because children are thought to be mugs. But the practice is wearing pretty thin. Playmobil: Circus is the latest addition to that sorry tradition, consisting of a string of Wii Remote controlled minigames set in the big top. Spinning plates is sort of fun, albeit pretty tricky for the tiddlers, and I like the idea of trampolining cows, but that aside it is all insultingly basic.
