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.Despite earning rave reviews across the board Bethesda’s Dishonoured has had to settle for second place, with the FIFA juggernaut showing no signs of abating. Though, that said, it did beat Sleeping Dogs to the title of fastest selling original IP released this year.
Honourable mention must also go to Nintendo’s Pokeman Black/White Version 2 as well, the two games taking third and fifth spots (though the UKIE has confirmed that even if both were treated as a single release, Dishonored would still have ranked second).
The brilliant XCOM: Enemy Unknown also makes its presence felt in 7th, while Microsoft’s Fable: The Journey only manages to debut at 37th, despite being the game which was to push Kinect into the mass market.
Predictions for next week: Dance Central 3.
