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.

Exploding heads and wayward chainsaws don’t sound like they could be pretty, but play Gears of War2 and you’ll be astounded by how attractive they can look and sound.

The audio rocks and it’s as violent as the original Gears of War, but where GoW 2 really excels is in its gameplay. Whether you prefer the co-op campaign mode or the multiplayer, this is the real deal. It’s not easy, and playing the tutorial is recommended for getting up to speed with the cover system, but this just makes it more rewarding.
