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.

µµµµµ iOS (£2.99)
This mobile spin-off from the stealth series takes a unique, tangential turn, in the form of a board game. With a dash of Cluedo and a touch of Connect 4 (when you just didn't anticipate that deadly fourth disc coming), Hitman GO relies on figuring out logical paths to reach your target, which is complicated by guards who move with each step you take. There's a lot of trial and error, with extra optional objectives along the way: the more complex it gets, the more remembering those sequences really counts. Laura Davis
2014 Fifa World Cup Brazil
µµµµµ Xbox 360, PS3 (£49.99)
Out go the clubs and in come 203 national teams, 12 official World Cup stadiums, plus the latest kits, official soundtrack and something new to the EA franchise – real managers. Score a goal for England and Roy Hodgson will be uncharacteristically pumping his fists and dancing down the touchline. Keepers can give penalty-takers the wobbly knees, and an excellent addition enables you to choose tactics at set plays. But aside from slightly sharper passing, the gameplay is almost identical to Fifa 14. Simon Rice
Trials Fusion
µµµµµ Xbox 360, Xbox One, PS4, PC (£39.99)
Trials Fusion is a physics-based platformer with a motorcycle to traverse a 3D world that has been confined to a 2D plane – where colourful explosions take place to distract the player from the action on the course. Due to the high number of levels available, the difficulty can increase very gradually through the game, with plenty of new modes and bikes to unlock. It has a great sense of humour but, unfortunately, doesn't do enough to differentiate itself from the biking competition out there. Jack Fleming
