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.

Portal 2 remains Steam's best-seller ahead of its Tuesday April 19 release, The Sims Medieval reigns on Direct2Drive, while Magicka's satirical multiplayer adventure leaps into first on GamersGate for the week ending April 18.

The first three Alone In The Dark games, optimized for modern computers, jump straight to the top of Good Old Games' chart; the distinctively Bourne-esque action of XIII enters in third place.

The Impulse chart has old favorites Galactic Civilizations II and Sins of a Solar Empire occupying pole positions.
