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.

Created by the makers of Age of Empires, Halo Wars is a very different beast from the holy trinity of Halo games that have gone before.

This is a classic RTS title, pure and simple. Sure, it takes its cues from the Halo mythology and features all your favourite foes and heroes from the trilogy, but managing your base is by far the most important factor, rather than getting ready to rumble inmyriad mêlées. This game elegantly uses the Halo universe to take the series in a bold new direction.
