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.

Improving on almost every aspect of the original, Supreme Commander 2 bucks the trend that states real-time strategy games don’t work on consoles. Streamlined controls make unit selection a breeze, camera control is tight, and zooming out to a satellite’s perspective and back proves slick thanks to the game’s smooth engine. Huge-scale battles on multiple fronts are SC2’s forte and maintaining the frontlines while juggling resources, construction and research is pleasingly frantic. However, with 18 campaign missions and comprehensive online multiplayer options, there’s plenty to keep strategy fans occupied.
