The following games are coming up as the free games for Sony’s PlayStation Plus:

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare Remastered

First up is the remaster to one of the most acclaimed games ever. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare is a shooter with both multiplayer and single-player modes. With the remaster, it lets you live through the campaign again in dynamic 4K resolution.

The Witness

Stranded on an island with no memory, you have to explore the area to find a way to escape. The Witness boasts over five hundred puzzles, and an open world.

This month’s discounted games include Yakuza Kiwami 2 at 40% off and Just Cause 4 and Hollow Knight half off.

This is also the first month Sony phasing out the PS3 and PS Vita from the PlayStation Plus free games list. If you haven’t already, be sure to download any Vita or PS3 game before March 8, 2019. Any of the free Vita games that have been added to your PS library will remain yours for the duration you maintain your PlayStation Plus status.

What do you think of the lineup this coming month? How do you feel about losing PS3 and Vita games?

The Witness Is Actually Making Seasoned Gamers Very Sick

Well, this is odd.

While The Witness , the new puzzler from Braid creator Jonathan Blow, is getting plenty of critical acclaim , it's also causing a big problem for many: Motion sickness.

As noted by Kotaku UK , some gamers say playing the game makes them feel nauseous; you can find similar complaints at Reddit , NeoGAF and Steam . A few of the afflicted are saying it's so bad that they simply can't play the game until it's fixed. Here's what someone on Reddit claimed:

"This is rare for me when it comes to first person games, but I can't play this game without getting motion sick after a short time. I'm seeing a lot of the same reports on NeoGAF, and was wondering if anyone here is having the same issue. There is something weird about the character movement or viewport causing this. I tried raising the FOV and that didn't seem to help, but I am still sick from playing last time. I really hope this is addressed, because I wont be able to continue until it is."

Blow has responded on his Twitter page , saying he's going to work on something that might address this issue. Some believe it has to do with the FOV (Field of Vision) perspective, while others blame the brightness of the colors:

"I almost have to vomit (not because it's bad). I think the colors are too bright, my eyes are also hurting a little bit."

For me, I haven't noticed any motion sickness issues but the eye strain does seem to be a little more pronounced (then again, I'm very prone to that issue). Let's also not forget that first-person games commonly cause motion sickness problems, but typically only for those who aren't used to the perspective. It's weird that seasoned gamers appear to be getting sick with The Witness .

Well, let's hope Blow can do something about it because the game is pretty darn good.
