PlayStation Plus Lineup For January Includes Day Of The Tentacle Remastered

Ringing in the new year with free games, Sony has elected (once again) to focus on a handful of indie titles for its monthly PlayStation Plus lineup; a strategy which starkly contrasts with Microsoft's monthly offering of free games, which often includes AAA releases and fan-requested games from the ever-expanding back catalog of Xbox 360 backwards compatible titles.
