PS Plus Games Confirmed For March With Surprisingly Good Lineup

Sony has confirmed the PS Plus lineup for March 2022, which is even more impressive than leaks suggested given the inclusion of Ghostrunner and Ghost of Tsushima: Legends. A post on the French gaming forum Dealabs leaked March 2022's PS Plus offerings this week, promising a selection packed with kart racer Team Sonic Racing and survival title Ark Survival Evolved.

Even the Dealabs-outed additions seemed a considerable step above February's catalogue of freebies - EA Sports UFC 4, Planet Coaster: Console Edition, and Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep: A Wonderlands One-Shot Adventure. The most vocally displeased of PS Plus subscribers especially took umbrage with the Tiny Tina-branded content, given its status as a Borderlands 2 DLC release that Gearbox Software and publisher 2K Games later rebranded as a standalone expansion. Admittedly, the PlayStation service's early 2022 offerings haven't all been divisive amongst fans. January's batch of free PS Plus games was headlined by acclaimed titles such as DiRT 5 and Persona 5 Strikers. With rumors of an all-new service model that combines PS Plus and PS Now circulating, hopes remain high that Sony can consistently add quality experiences to its subscription plans.

The Dealabs leaks were partially correct. In a PlayStation Blog post, Sony confirmed that PS Plus users will indeed gain access to Ark Survival Evolved and Team Sonic Racing. But two other noteworthy titles will hit the service on March 1, as well - cyberpunk-themed action platformer Ghostrunner (PS5) and Ghost of Tsushima's Legends (PS4/PS5) multiplayer mode. Each of these adventures will exit PS Plus on Monday, April 4. It's also worth noting that those who already own the digital version of Ghost of Tsushima: Director's Cut on PS5.

This undoubtedly marks an improvement over the February 2022 offerings, which PS Plus members should claim before February 28. Ghost of Tsushima: Legends as a bonus is bound to excite all who've yet to enjoy the experience on PlayStation 5 hardware. And Ghostrunner's acclaimed, high-octane action serves as nothing short of a big get for Sony, especially since its eagerly-anticipated sequel entered development last year.

Team Sonic Racing and Ark Survival Evolved round out the lineup nicely, as well. The former launched in 2019, providing Sonic faithful with a kart racing adventure that arguably constitutes one of the long-running series' high points. Meanwhile, the creatures of Ark Survival Evolved alone make this particular MMO survival more than worthy of a free download. As a reminder, all PS Plus members would do well to add each of these titles to their game libraries when they become available next week.

CBS' Ghosts: Every Main Ghost Time Period & Backstory Explained

One of CBS' newest sitcoms,  Ghosts , features a cast full of spectral characters that each hail from a distinct time period and come with their own unique backstory and death. Though each of the eight ghosts has a wildly different perspective based on their different experiences throughout history, they nonetheless form a sort of family, which is one of the show's greatest charms. After all, being stuck with the same people for all of eternity allows for plenty of time to get to know each other. Ghosts , which is an adaptation of a BBC show of the same name, stars Utkarsh Ambudkar and Rose McIver (who played Liv Moore on five seasons of  iZombie ) as Jay and Sam, a young couple who inherit a mansion in upstate New York. To their surprise, however, the house also comes with several ghostly inhabitants, who Sam is able to see after a near-death experience. These are Thorfinn (Devan Long), Sasappis (Román Zaragoza), Isaac (Brandon Scott Jones), Hetty (Rebecca Wisocky...

The Hateful Eight's Original Ending Explained (& Why Tarantino Changed It)

The Hateful Eight has an ending full of blood and betrayal, as expected from any Quentin Tarantino movie, but this wasn’t the original ending – here’s why he changed it. Tarantino has explored different genres throughout his career; though he’s best known for his crime movies like Reservoir Dogs and Pulp Fiction , he's also visited genres like martial arts (with both Kill Bill  films) and black comedy ( Once Upon a Time in Hollywood ). In addition, he's shared his version of westerns with Django Unchained and The Hateful Eight , with the latter going through some problems and creative changes even before it began shooting. Set in 1870, Tarantino's The  Hateful Eight follows eight strangers, all with different (and secret) motivations, who end up in a stagecoach lodge after seeking refuge from a blizzard. These characters are Major Marquis Warren (Samuel L. Jackson), John “The Hangman” Ruth (Kurt Russell), Daisy Domergue (Jennifer Jason Leigh), Chris Mannix (Walton Gog...

Why Spider-Man 3's Uncle Ben Retcon Doesn't Change Peter's Origin

Sam Raimi’s Spider-Man 3 is often criticized for a major retcon made to Uncle Ben’s death , but this retcon ultimately doesn’t change Peter Parker’s classic origin story. Raimi’s third film in the iconic Spider-Man trilogy is often criticized, perhaps unfairly. While the film suffers from too many character arcs and plot threads and would have been better as two or three separate films, it does a more than adequate job adapting the Spider-Man comics and telling a sincere story about relatable, flawed, characters who are intertwined with the extraordinary, just as Stan Lee and Steve Ditko intended when co-creating the character. Uncle Ben’s retconned death may alter classic elements from the comic version, but it retains its most important aspects in regards to Peter’s characterization. 2002’s Spider-Man is, for much of the film’s first half, a faithful adaptation of Spider-Man’s 1962 origin story in issue 15 of the Amazing Fantasy comics. An awkward social pariah, Pete...
