The Turing Test: Got this for free through Games with Gold on Xbox and it was ok. It is a simpler version of a Portal style puzzle game with a story. Only took about 4-5 hours to complete with all achievements.
Trackmania: Got this for free through Games with Gold on Xbox and it is pretty damn awesome. It's a super arcade style TT/racing game. One thing that blows me away is the graphics look really good. For just a small arcade game I was very surprised. But it is fun to play and that it is what counts. It is one of those games you could just play for a few minutes or a few hours and have fun.
Developers of Titanfall, Respawn, sells to EA for $455 million. Nate mentioned it in chat and I did a quick search for articles.
Jason Schreier from Kotaku has a brief timeline events:

Get that weak shit off my track
Completely unsurprised -- they put a ton of work into Titanfall 2 and it was stillborn. Zampella & Co. are probably looking to cash-out at this point and figure out where to go to next while delegating the planning/production for Titanfall 3 to EA Product Planning.
Both TF & TF2 were built using the Source engine. EA is gonna push TF3 onto Frostbite of course -- and since the TF franchise isn't anything approaching an RPG, it should work fine and look great.
TF3 will be loaded with loot boxes.
I look forward to whatever Zampella and West’s next project may be
Needless to say they both got major moolah in cash and stock options. I wonder if any of the original staff got a share in the company when they jumped from Infinity Ward or if they were just employees?
"The most downvoted comment in Reddit's history was at a little over 24,000. EA's comment is currently sitting at 359,000 downvotes."

Man that's impressively ballsy. Bobby Kotich loves this thread.
