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.Star Wars: the Force Unleashed aims to bridge the narrative gap between episodes three and four, explaining Darth Vader’s rise to power at the same time as training gamers to become his secret apprentice.
It’s an impressive cocktail of combat and adventuring, especially in the open environments where this game shines. There are dark moments, though, when the game’s mechanics fail to live up to its concepts. However, when it’s good, The Force Unleashed is a treat for Star Wars fans and entertaining for everyone else.
