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.Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception and BioShock Infinite each have nominations in four categories ahead of the Game Critics Awards on June 28, including Best of Show and Best Action/Adventure.
The nominations roll-call reflects on titles shown at the Electronic Entertainment Expo and reads like a holiday season wish-list, with most titles scheduled for release in October or November.
Though BioShock Infinite and fellow Best in Show nominee Tomb Raider are among the few that opt for a 2012 debut, they count Batman: Arkham Asylum (October 18), Uncharted 3 (November 1), and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (November 11) as category competitors.
Joining Batman, Skyrim and Tomb Raider on three nominations each are Battlefield 3 (October 25) and Star Wars: The Old Republic (late 2011 on PC), along with Eric Chahi's From Dust (July 20 on 360) and one of the PlayStation Vita's titles, Sound Shapes.
Duking it out for Best Online Multiplayer are Battlefield 3, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3 (November 8), Uncharted 3, Gears of War 3 (September 20) and The Old Republic.
