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.

What’s this? A sequel which improves the more tiresome aspects of its predecessor while expanding on all that was special – whatever next? Set within Renaissance Italy, Assassin’s Creed 2 sees the player assuming the role of Ezio Auditore, Italian nobleman and, following the murder of his family, revenge-seeking assassin. Mission variety superior to the original ensures staleness is kept to a minimum, while assassinations are handled more intuitively and thrillingly. Silky animation, erudite plotting and fanciful use ofLeonardo da Vinci’s inventions are the icing on the cake.
