Your support helps us to tell the story

My recent work focusing on Latino voters in Arizona has shown me how crucial independent journalism is in giving voice to underrepresented communities.

Your support is what allows us to tell these stories, bringing attention to the issues that are often overlooked. Without your contributions, these voices might not be heard.

Every dollar you give helps us continue to shine a light on these critical issues in the run up to the election and beyond

Max Power Racing HHHH

PlayStation Dedicated readers will know that Max Power is a monthly magazine based around some of the meanest-looking cars known to man. Now the Max Power people have linked up with Infogames to produce Max Power Racing. From start to finish, Max Power oozes speed and action. The gameplay is very quick, and the competition is extremely hard. Players have to complete the tough tracks to release all the cars. Easy to pick up, Max Power is one of the most playable racers yet, so it's tmie to put your pedal to the metal.

Premier Manager '99 HHHH

PlayStation Premier Manager, one of the greatest series of management games to date, is making its second outing on the PlayStation in Premier Manager '99, endorsed by the mighty Kevin Keegan. Once again Gremlin has produced a superb title - the gameplay has been made more user-friendly, while the transfer system has been improved to make it more realistic. Up to four players can battle it out for either the Italian or English Championship, as well as European glory. A worthy addition to the series.

Pool Shark HHH

PlayStation With the Mosconi Cup not long passed, pool has become a really popular sport in recent times. To mark this sudden rise of interest, Gremlin have released Pool Shark, the first pool game on the PlayStation. This is one of the most accurate cue-sport computer games yet. The tutorials can help if you are having trouble, or for the more expert player there are tournament options. The graphics are superb, but the gameplay is repetitive. Although Pool Shark is a realistic game, it is best suited to lovers of cue sports.

Worms: Armageddon HHHH

PC CD-Rom Worms fans are in for a big treat as their favourite psychotic insects are back in their latest and greatest adventure, Worms: Armageddon. Once again, players have to take their team of six worms and blow up all comers in this platform-based shoot-'em-up. Now, though, there are new weapons, new missions, a new, basic interface, and some great backgrounds, music and voices to keep you playing all through the night. Yes, Worms are back, and better than ever, but be warned: they're armed and ready to kill!
