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.Videogame versions of big-budget films can go either way. Occasionally, they truly capture the feeling of a movie and take the experience out of the cinema and in to the front room, letting you extend the pleasure even after the popcorn's gone. More often, though, they're turgid affairs that capitalise on a blockbuster's fame and fail to deliver anything approaching entertaining. Children's film/game tie-ins tend to be the worst, so it's good to see that Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs (based on the animation of the same name) is an extremely playable little adventure. Three things are behind this, Firstly, the game has lots of the film's energy and cute characters; secondly, a decent developer (Two Tribes) has been let loose on it; and thirdly, it costs just £2.99 – a palatable price compared to the £20 and up that console tie-ins cost.
