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.

Finalists in the same seven categories at the Canadian Videogame awards, Mass Effect 2 took home four while Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood won two.

Electronic Arts' Mass Effect 2 was named Canadian Game of the Year, winning awards for Best Console Game, Best Game Design, and Best Writing.

Assassin's Creed: Brotherhood, a Ubisoft title, clinched Best Audio and Best Visual Arts.

It was Kinect for Xbox 360 that prevented the two games from dominating their categories, as Microsoft's hands-free control system was given Best Technology.

The iPad game Osmos was Best Mobile Game; Deathspank won Best Downloadable for its outing on PC, PS3 and 360; while the Facebook version of Pocket God was best Social/Casual game.

ModNation Racers for the PS3 was given the Innovation Award, and WOMP! was declared Best Student Game.
