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.Sony has released the list of ten games to be given away free to new owners of its handheld entertainment device, the PSPgo, with a combined total value of €245.
The promotion, which starts on June 9, applies to European PSPgo units bought after April 1, 2010 which are then registered on the European PlayStation Network store.
Games for the PSPgo are available via digital download only, meaning that discs are not used to play games or movies, unlike previous models in the PSP line. Rather, the titles are obtained from the PlayStation Store and then stored on the machine.
The PGPgo itself is generally available from €200 to €245, depending on region and retailer, but can be found new for around €180.
Of the ten titles picked as part of the offer, LittleBigPlanet, WipEout Pure and Vice City Stories are among the console's top 20 games according to both Metacritic and Game Rankings.
The obvious duffer of the group appears to be Avatar: The Game, a tie-in to James Cameron's 2009 movie.
From the rest, 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa is both the newest and most topical, as the soccer tournament starts on June 11.
The Electronic Entertainment Expo starts on June 14, and while Sony is guaranteed to make further announcements regarding 3D technology and motion-controlled gaming, it may prove too soon for official news regarding a successor to the PSP.
Games included in the '10 Game Promo':
1. 2010 FIFA World Cup South Africa, €30 (68 / 74)
2. Assassins Creed: Bloodlines, €30 (63 / 64)
3. Grand Theft Auto: Vice City Stories, €20 (86 / 85)
