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.

This HD remaster of the Gamecube take on the 1996 PS1 edition adds little to the game – but reminds us how special the original was. The story is a relatively standard haunted house premise, but manages to become much more interesting. Some areas look fantastic in 1080p; however, some areas have had noticeably less work done and as such show their age. Resident Evil is a genre-defining game that everyone should play, and while the formula has been improved upon since, this is still a classic and well worth a look.

Trine: Enchanted Edition

PC, PS4, Wii U (£9.99)
Trine is set in a fantasy world in which the undead have taken over a kingdom which has been left without a king after his death. You control one of three characters (a thief, a mage and a knight) who unwittingly combine their souls when they all touch the Trine. An odd game to reboot, but with the pressure on developers to make the most money they can with their investments, it's easy to see why it has been done. It's a solid game – and this is the best version you will find.

Do you want to hone your surgical skills? Or are you a Lemmings fan? If the answer is yes to either of these (or both) then you should try Underground. It was originally conceived as a way to train medical students for keyhole surgery, but its appeal is definitely wider. With two mechanical arms in your control, the aim is to guide as many cute robots as you can to safety. It's a fun and occasionally challenging puzzle, but, if surgery or Lemmings don't interest you, then you'll probably want to give it a miss.
