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.

What would games producers do without the narrative opportunities of nuclear apocalypse?

From wrecked landscapes peppered with poisoned pools to armies of super-mutants, the pickings are rich. The creators of Fallout 3 make good use of a post-apocalyptic plotline and their imagining of a ruined society is the best I’ve seen so far. The open world in which the action is set is stunningly realised and frightening real. Survival is everything, and to this end, expect top-notch combat and an arsenal that is second-to-none.
