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.

Originally a PSP title, Twisted Metal: Head-On was one of the handheld console’s best launch titles.

Any PS2 owners dubious about buying a PSP port for their machine needn’t worry too much – the title has had something of a makeover in the form of added content. As before, gameplay is more about combat that anything else, so each vehicle is studded with missile launchers, napalm and mounted machine guns.

Gamers get to tool around arenas, inner cities and suburbs, venting their fury on pretty much everyone and everything in their way. In addition to this there are three new levels, a documentary, an on-foot section to play with and a variety of mini-games ranging from a Demolition Derby to a bunch of obstacle courses. There are some uneven momentss, but the £20 price goes some way to making the occasional glitches easier to deal with.

Format: PS2

Publisher: Sony

Price: £19.99
