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 news that Duke Nukem Forever will be coming out of the wilderness after 13 years in development hell prompted renewed interest in Duke Nukem 3D, the 1996 game that inspired part of the playable demo seen at the PAX Expo, September 3-5.
Though the game was on special offer at Good Old Games until September 1 as part of a promotion on Apogee titles - the Duke Nukem publisher at the time - Duke Nukem 3D was the only discounted game to make it into the online store's top five for the week, showing how interest had spiked after the PAX announcement.
King's Bounty was another series experiencing an increase in sales as both King's Bounty: Crossworlds and King's Bounty: The Legend found themselves in chart positions.
King's Bounty: The Legend, itself a 2008 remake of the 1990 PC original, is cheap almost everywhere, as a result of being superseded not only by 2009's King's Bounty: Armored Princess, but also King's Bounty: Crossworld, due out on or shortly after September 17.
Also doing well is Worms Reloaded, which polishes the well-loved Worms formula - first seen in 1995 - for a 2010 crowd.
