The Games With Gold titles for October have been revealed, with Xbox Live Gold members getting the opportunity to download and play a variety of genres this month. As is usual, there are two Xbox One games and two Xbox 360 titles that are backwards compatible on the newer hardware. The two Xbox One downloads for October are composed of the celebrated adventure game Gone Home for the first half of the month and then the acclaimed puzzler The Turing Test for the second half. The Xbox 360 offerings include platformer Rayman 3 and the first-person shooter Medal of Honor: Airborne. The PopGeeks review of The Turing Test when it first released in 2016 found that it was one of the best puzzle games available on the system, only able to be beaten by the likes of Portal. Created by the same team behind Pneuma: Breath of Life, the puzzler was able to take the criticisms its predecessor had and improve upon almost every aspect.

After being awoken from a cryogenic sleep, the AI T.O.M. informs you that you have to get to the research lab to contact the crew who have cut off communication.

One of the main hurdles machines have to leap before they can successfully enslave humanity is being able to convincingly pretend they are one of us. Most science fiction assumes this will happen long after advanced robot bodies are available. The believability of an advanced humanoid robot that still acts weirdly inhuman is the basis of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s career. But what if artificial intelligence became good enough to fool humans much earlier? What about now? That’s what some claim happened Saturday in London, as an AI chat program became the alleged first to pass what is known as the Turing Test. The Turing Test was created by computer scientist Alan Turing in 1950, in an attempt to determine whether machines can exhibit intelligence similar to or indistinguishable from a human. It’s a lot simpler and less dangerous than the Voight–Kampff empathy test from Blade Runner, but the tester has the same goal, separate the men from the machines. As it did in London, the test often takes the form of a competition which pits live people and AIs against judges. For
