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.

PlayStation Boasting post-match analysis from Alan Hansen, LMA Manager is a footie-management-sim with all the features you'd expect. Players must dabble in the transfer market, decide on tactics and develop their ground if they hope to be successful. With more than 300 clubs and 8,000 players, this game certainly has strength in depth, but while the whole thing is competent and fun, overall it lacks flair and originality.

Half Life HHHH
PC CD-ROM A combination of state of the art graphics and engaging Quake-style gameplay earnt the original version of this game enormous critical acclaim. Hence this new Game of the Year Edition featuring an additional, team-based multi-player game, Team Fortress Classic, as well as updates and patches previously available on the Internet. A worthwhile purchase only for those without the original version.

Shadow Man HH
Nintendo 64 Take a trip in search of lost souls in Acclaim's N64 conversion of Shadow Man. A third-person action-cum-role-playing game, this boils down to a lot of wandering around 3D environments collecting various items and killing the occasional baddie. Some fairly atmospheric cut sequences can't make up for the disappointing gameplay - once again a decent PC game has been transformed into an average N64 title.

Rat Attack HH
PC CD-ROM The pesky rodents in Rat Attack are evil mutant space rats rather than loveable house mice and your feline mission is to catch them in your special eraticator trap. With its quirky cartoon-style graphics and annoying soundtrack this game is, well, strangely quirky. While the gameplay will probably prove too limited and repetitive to keep most adults interested for long, kids are sure to love it.
