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.The writers at website Critical Distance have put together a near-definitive list of the best PC games of the previous year, and for those feeling a certain tightness around their post-Christmas purse strings, the best news is that all the titles are totally free.
The list includes Left 4k Dead, a retro-styled homage to popular commercial zombie shooter Left 4 Dead and Left 4 Dead 2 that was only released on Christmas Eve 2008 and shot into IndieGamer's top 10 games of that year; a one-button roof runner called Canabalt that was one of Eurogamer's Games of 2009 and has become a successful iPhone game in its own right; the stylish and intruiging Little Wheel puzzle game that won an MTV Award for 2009's Best Browser Game; and a free version of Plants vs Zombies, the point-and-click action game that industry news analysts at Gamasutra named as one of their top 10 games of 2009.
