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.

G-Police HHH

PlayStation Take to the skies aboard a futuristic chopper-jet and wipe out anything that moves in this sequel to the highly successful G-Police. The game casts you in the role of a lawman of the future whose job it is to fly around Blade Runner-esque environments catching criminals. With its fluid 3D graphics, fast-paced gameplay and responsive controls G-Police 2: Weapons of Justice could be an even bigger hit than its predecessor.

Point Blank 2 HH

PlayStation Another sequel hitting PlayStations soon is Point Blank 2, a shooting game designed for those punters who own a G-con45 light gun. The action is made up of a series of sub games which challenge the player to hit targets as they appear on the screen. The gameplay is fairly basic as are the graphics and presentation, but the whole thing is fairly entertaining, for a while at least. It's not a classic, but it is playable.

Toy Commander HHHHH

Dreamcast Has the Dreamcast got what it takes to revive Sega's fortunes? The answer on the evidence of this game is an emphatic yes. Toy Commander lets you pilot miniature vehicles around 3D environments based on the different rooms of a house. While the concept behind the game may not be original, the quality of the graphics and the depth of the gameplay elevate this above similar titles on other machines.

Monaco GP Racing 2 HHHH

Dreamcast Billed as the most challenging racing sim ever created, Monaco Grand Prix Racing 2 is well equipped to compete in a crowded field. It features all 16 tracks from this year's championship and a choice of 22 different drivers. It also boasts staggeringly realistic, super-smooth 3D graphics and a multiplayer option which lets up to eight players battle it out on the same track. All in all, a very solid performer.
