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.

While Spider-Man’s gravity-defying, skyline-hopping ways have become rather old hat, mere mortals free-running across cityscapes have yet to make a big videogame impact. Until now, that is.

Mirror’s Edge is a high adrenaline FPS-cum-parkour venture that boasts a slinky heroine who must negotiate the urban airspace without falling to her death and being taken out by her foes, and do all this against the clock. Sounds exhausting? Yep, but this dizzying new title is a breath of fresh air and is surprisingly simple to pick up and play.
