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.It’s been just over a year since Sporewas released for PC and Mac; now the ultimate creature creation game is out for the Wii. But Spore Hero isn’t a carbon copy of the original – instead it’s been retooled to appeal to the Wii’s more casual audience. This means cuter DIY beasts, a platform approach to action and simplified combat – all of which make this feel like a kiddy-friendly, Spore-lite. While it’s nice to broaden the reach of the Spore universe, it’s a shame that Will Wright’s vision has been made more anodyne.
