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 PlayStation shooter series Resistance has released a free web game called Global Resistance.

Instead of a first person shooter, like the PS3 games, or third-person as with the PSP's Resistance: Retribution, at first glance it's got more in common with Risk or the base-building of Command & Conquer.

Players can choose between backing the aliens' invading Chimeran forces or supporting the human resistance.

To do so, they must first log in using their credentials from either Facebook or the PlayStation Network.

Participation unlocks extra characters and other bonuses for the multiplayer mode of the PS3's Resistance 3, which is due out the week of September 6.

One of the Xbox 360's own blockbuster sci-fi shooters, Gears of War 3, is to be released two weeks later on September 20.
