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.

Bayonetta, a young witch with only fragmented memories, is on a quest to rediscover her past. Her journey takes her to the heavenly town of Vigrid where she finds herself under constant, violent attack by angels.

Luckily, she can summon the powers of hell to annihilate them. Bayonetta is an action game par excellence, demonstrating an astonishing artistic flair and a surprising wry humour throughout. Enemies, from angelic cherubs to gargantuan monstrosities, are fantastically visualised and the game's fluid, attack-chaining control scheme makes dismantling them a joy. An early contender for game of 2010.
