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.

With its mix of exploration, adventure and puzzle-solving, Spirit Tracks serves up a perfectly balanced slice of Zelda. There’s a princess to rescue, dungeons to perambulate through and plenty of stylus- based swordplay. But lest this should seem like the games designers have phoned in their latest creation, let me add that Spirit Tracks is endlessly inventive and has new features galore, including using the DS’s microphone to allow players to create whirlwind weapons and play spell-casting pan pipes. Pacy, absorbing and very, very playable.
