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.

Both Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood Mass Effect 2 and Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood are finalists in seven categories at this year's Canadian Videogame Awards, with the Game of the Year award falling to a public vote.

The two games are both in the running for Game of the Year, and in the Best Console Game, Audio, Game Design, Technology, Visual Arts and Writing categories.

Tom Clancy's Splinter Cell: Conviction is next in line, a finalist in six categories that matches the two frontrunners in all but Best Technology.

Joining Mass Effect 2, Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood and Splinter Cell: Conviction in jostling for Game of the Year are soccer sim FIFA 11 and zombie horror-comedy Dead Rising 2.

Each of the 31 titles up for an award is Canadian-made, hence the absence of 2010's other leading multi-award winner, Red Dead Redemption.
