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.Me & My Katamari
Format: PSP
Publisher: EA
Price: £34.99
In April, the excellent We Love Katamari was released on the PlayStation2. Then, in May, it was the PSP's turn to host a Katamari title. In Me & My Katamari, players create islands for homeless creatures to live on by guiding their Katamari, a ball that collects items it rolls over. The controls are intuitive and there is plenty of off-the-wall humour. The only downsides here are the small number of levels, which is a shame in such an entertaining title, and the long load times.
SOCOM 3: US Navy Seals
Format: PS2
Publisher: Sony
Price: £29.99
The latest instalment of the SOCOM series for the PS2 is a gung-ho triumph, provided you like your games to be packed to the brim with patriotic fervour. While the previous title felt at times like little more than an add-on pack to the original game in the series, SOCOM 3: US Navy Seals feels totally up-to-date. It's packed with new features too.
The Da Vinci Code
Format: GameCube / PS2 / Xbox
Publisher: 2K Games
Price: £29.99
Although its release is timed to coincide with that of the film, this console version of The Da Vinci Code is based on Dan Brown's book, rather than the movie. With a mix of action, puzzles and adventure, plus lots of exploring in chapels, galleries and cathedrals, this game is not easy, but fans of the book will love it. It also boasts a number of events that don't appear in Brown's best-selling novel, so look out for a few surprises.
Moto Racer 3: Gold Edition
Format: PC
Publisher: Nobilis
Price: £19.99
This updated version of Moto Racer 3 offers new circuits, new bikes and multiplayer modes for up to eight players. A budget price and powerful bikes make it an enjoyable enough game for Moto fans. The original title wasn't bad and although few glitches have survived the update, this is far more accomplished than its predecessor.
