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.

Before Prince of Persia was a film and before mobile phones ruled the earth, Jordan Mechner’s rough-and-tumble royal was a PC game that never pulled its punches. With endless dungeons to navigate, tons of guards to slay and a drachonian time limit of an hour, Prince of Persiawas an exercise in treating gamers mean – and keeping them keen. So while playing the original PoP on the iPhone feels like a return to a simpler age, it’s also a blooming frustrating one. Punishing fun for less than a quid.
