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.

Music HHHH

PlayStation Jungle fans, Rap fans, Pop fans - lend me your ears. Have you ever wondered what it would be like to mix your very own music? Well, wonder no more, as Codemasters bring to you the wonderful Music. Much as the name suggests, the game is pretty straightforward and to the point. You take whatever soundbites, instruments or baseline you want, and then put them together as you choose. You can even create a video to go with it. So, for the best sounds this Christmas, check out this groovy little number.

TopGear: Overdrive HHHH

N64 N64 owners have been begging for a realistic, yet fun driving game since the release of the console. Finally, just in time for St Nick, their prayers have been answered - Nintendo have released TopGear: Overdrive. This is one of the most playable games on the N64. All you do is pick a car you can afford, win races, buy bigger cars, win more races, and buy even bigger cars. The twist to the game is that in order to win, you have to cheat! With smooth graphics and great gameplay, TopGear comes out near the front of the pack.

Nintendo, on release, pounds 44.99

Wargasm HHHHH

PC-CD ROM War! Huh! What is it good for? Well.... actually your PC, as Infogrames release an awesome war-strategy-game - quirkily named Wargasm. Don't be fooled, though, this is no ordinary strategy game! It's an instantly playable blood-fest which is so realistic you'll think that Hitler's dropped round for a cup of tea and a slice of carnage. You - the player - choose your side, your troops, and can even take control of just one unit. Not only that, but the graphics are simply amazing. Wargasm has it all - make sure you aren't left wanting.

S.C.A.R.S. HHH

PlayStation If you're bored with driving the same realistic old cars around the same boring old tracks, then you need S.C.A.R.S., by Acclaim. The aim of the game is to take control of a bizarre futuristic car, pick- up weapons as you drive and blow your opposition away in the quest for glory. The graphics are not exactly stunning, and the controls are a little dodgy, but the gameplay is very addictive, and the two-player option adds that little extra spice. Although S.C.A.R.S. is not the best driving game on the Playstation, it is one of the most action packed.
