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.Microsoft Game Studios and Gears of War developer Epic Games are to deploy a special Gears of War Triple Pack on February 15, containing the first two games in the series and access to a bundle of extra content for GoW 2 at a budget price of $29 (Euro pricing to be confirmed).
That makes February a busy month for Epic Games, which has also overseen the development of the brash and bawdy Bulletstorm, out February 22.
It's part of the campaign to prepare Xbox 360 owners for Gears of War 3, a game that was first due in April 2011 but has now been moved towards a prime-time autumn release.
That could put Epic up against rival games powerhouse id Software, creator of the Doom and Quake series, which is to unleash its own action-oriented RAGE on September 13.
The two companies have both successfully invested in developing not only games but also development tools that can be licensed out to other companies and groups - Epic with the Unreal Engine and id Software with id Tech.
