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.Kudos to EA and Danger Close for a gritty campaign which has seen Medal of Honor: Warfighter hit the ground running despite a mixed reception upon its recent release.
By going what even Dishonored couldn’t do in dislodging FIFA 13, it just goes to show that there’s nothing like a barnstorming shooter when it comes to racking up sales. Elsewhere Microsoft will be well pleased as Forza Horizon gets a podium finish, while Nintendo too will be happy to see that the leap to 3DS hasn’t curtailed sales of Professor Layton (while presumably shifting quite a 3DS handhelds on the side).
Predictions for next week: Assassin’s Creed 3.
