Tales from the Borderlands is very good and it’s one of November’s Xbox Games with Gold

Jump stunts and vault hunts

November, the Thanksgiving month, is full of T-words if you look closely enough. Turkey, Tackle football, Talking politics at the dinner table even though you all know Uncle Gary is going to take things too far. Xbox has two more to add to this bountiful feast of Ts.

Next month’s Games with Gold on Xbox One are brought to you by the letter T. For the entirety of November, Trackmania Turbo — an arcade racer with all sorts of zany stunts — is free with an Xbox Live Gold subscription. Halfway through the month, Tales from the Borderlands joins in. Tales from the Borderlands is notable because a lot of people cite it as Telltale’s finest work. (And it’s especially notable because it tells a good story and Borderlands is a universe that isn’t really known for its stories and lore.)

On the Xbox 360 side of things, the letter-based thematic harmony breaks down. For the first half of the month, platformer Nights into Dreams… is free. Come the midway point of November, first-person shooter Deadfall Adventure takes over. As always, both the Xbox 360 titles are playable on Xbox One through backward compatibility.
