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.

The Steam Network digital download chart for the week ending Sunday, July 11 showed signs of recovering from the impact of discounted items put on sale during the week before.

New titles APB and Monkey Island 2 Special Edition made their way into the upper reaches of the chart.

APB is a criminals vs policemen game, bearing similarities to Crackdown and the Grand Theft Auto series, though lukewarm reviews indicate that it may take some time to shine as further refinements are added.

Monkey Island 2 is a spruced-up version of the 1991 classic that further cemented the reputations of Tim Schafer ( Day of the Tentacle, Brütal Legend) and Ron Gilbert ( Manic Mansion, DeathSpank).

The graphics, voice work, and soundtrack have all been updated, though players can revert to the look and sound of the original if they so choose.

The Special Edition was also released for iPhone and iPod, PlayStation 3, PC and Xbox 360.

01) Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 - Resurgence Pack
02) Battlefield: Bad Company 2
03) APB - All Points Bulletin
04) Monkey Island 2 Special Edition: LeChuck's Revenge
05) THQ Complete Pack
06) Civilization IV: The Complete Edition
07) BioShock 2
08) Just Cause 2
09) Mass Effect 2
10) Killing Floor

Chart positions reflect total revenue gained by the Steam Network.
