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.

Your support makes all the difference.Starsiege HHHH
PC CD-ROM Ever since the release of Mechwarrior, gamers have gone wild over 1st-person, robot-based shoot-'em-ups, which is why the release of Starsiege should please. The game is similar to the Mechwarrior titles, the only real difference being a vast graphical improvement. Players have to carry out various missions based around big weapons and big explosions and despite the familiarity, Starsiege is a playable title.

NHL `99 HH
PlayStation Sony's new game, NHL '99 on the PlayStation, allows players to choose their team from the current NHL teams and take to the ice for one of the most gruelling sports in the world. However, this is a pretty run-of-the-mill ice hockey sim - average graphics, accurate gameplay, and the usual, updated team-rosters. So, to put it plainly, NHL '99 is a fair game, but there are definitely better titles on the market.

Actua Ice Hockey 2 HHHH
PC CD-ROM Actua Sports has extended its list of titles to include this sequel. The game has some of the most accurate graphics for a sports game since Fifa, and the action is just as good. From the snap-shots to the shoulder-barges, this has all the marks of the real thing. Now on the PC, the pace and smoothness of the action has increased since its release on the PlayStation. If you own a PC and like ice hockey, this is a must.

Silver HHHHH
PC CD-ROM Since Final Fantasy VII, the gaming community has been crying out for a new RPG and Infogrames have now come up with the challenging Silver, a classic tale of good vs evil. You play a hero who has to defend his mystical homeland from being ruined by evil spirits from the past. The game is in roughly the same style as FFVII and with loads of brain- busting puzzles and twisting plots, it's a superb test.
