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.Carmageddon 2 HHHHH
PC CD-Rom Film sequels are all about bigger and better. Do the same principles apply to computer games? Well, SCI certainly thinks so, hence its new release, Carmageddon 2. The game takes all the great graphics, fierce competition, and controversial gameplay of Carmageddon 1 - and blows them away. The cars now fall apart, there are new, bigger vehicles, and the tracks have had a makeover. Carmageddon 2: Carpocalypse Now is the most gruesome driving game you will ever see. Those with a weak disposition are advised not to play.

Pocket Fighters HHHH
PlayStation Street Fighter and DarkStalkers fans are in for a special treat, as their favourite characters team up in a pint-size beat- 'em-up called Pocket Fighters. The game is in the classic 2D fighting style, and features all the fast and frantic action that made Street Fighter and DarkStalkers so successful. The graphics are very cute, and the gameplay is fantastically random. Whether you're a fan of the old games or not, this one is superb fun. Pocket Fighters is definitely worth bringing home for Christmas.

Actua Golf 3 HHHH
PlayStation Whether you like it or not, golf is everywhere - on the TV, in the papers, on the radio, even at the cinema. But if you haven't had your fill of egg whacking, then here's Actua Golf 3. Unsurprisingly, the game lets you play golf. You can take part in a tournament, a single match, or just practise. There are even crazy multi-player games so you can play your mates. The graphics are very realistic, and so is the gameplay. The only problem is that, if you don't like golf, you're unlikely to enjoy this.
