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.

Amid the flurry of new announcements coming out of the San Diego Comic-Con, Microsoft released the first screenshots showing Kinect Star Wars' Podracing feature.

Force powers and Lightsaber combat had already been introduced, most recently during a demonstration at Microsoft's E3 presentation in June.

Kinect Star Wars' Podracing mode promises "recognizable pods and other unlockable vehicles to the Star Wars universe."

Hoping for a Millennium Falcon podracer might be a bit much, though.

Star Wars Kinect is expected on Xbox 360 Kinect in December, bolstering a Kinect lineup that will include Dance Central 2, Fruit Ninja Kinect, and Sesame Street: Once Upon a Monster.

Sony has a few motion-controlled titles of its own in the works: the Potter-esque Sorcery, Ratchet & Clank: All 4 One, and the Move-augmented Resistance 3.
