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.

Wipeoutwas the futuristic racing title that helped launch PlayStation almost 15 years ago with whizzbang graphics and spaceage craft hurtling around a gravity-defying track to the beat of hi-energy dance tunes. Its latest outing is Fury, the first WipeoutHD expansion pack, available on the PlayStation Network. Now, expansion packs aren’t usually something to get terribly excited about and, indeed, Fury’s creators have cheekily recycled some PSPtracks to make up 12 “new” levels. However, three new gameplay modes – ZoneBattle, Detonator and Eliminator –make Fury feel and play in a fresh new way that’s impressive for a title that is nearly a decade-and-ahalf old.
