Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Take a crime-riddled US city, add a handful of deadly gangs, a sprinkling of vehicles and a vast openworld environment, and what do you get?

No, not GTA but the second part of SaintsRow, a third-person sandbox extravaganza that has earned its right to be mentioned in the same sentence as Rockstar’s finest.Your aim is to wipe out a trio of gangs, ideally with as much crazy driving and oddball tangents as possible. From the getgo, where you can customise your character to the nth degree, to hidden missions and bonkers activities, this game never fails to surprise and entertain.
