Gold is the color of November for Xbox players. Microsoft just released a bunch titles that will be available for a limited period for all Xbox Live Gold members.

The titles are a mixture of racing, adventure and platform video games. They will become available starting Nov. 1.

For speed freaks out there, "Trackmania Turbo" is the video game to play. Boasting four stunning environments, a multitude of difficulty levels and almost 200 tracks, there's a ton of challenges to overcome and win. There's also the Double Driver mode. This unique feature allows two players to control the same car while a great soundtrack reacts to the player's driving style.

One classic game that will be available at the start of the month is "Nights into Dreams." Players are tasked to save Nightopia by gathering orbs to unlock stolen emotions and fight Wizeman the Wicked and his underlings.

Then, by Nov. 16, subscribers can look forward to "Tales from the Borderlands." This highly engrossing comedy adventure video game takes place in the same universe as "Borderlands." Players can choose to play Phys, a cyber-enhanced guy, or Fiona, a wily con-woman, who are bound by fate to be unlikely partners in their quest to become rich. The players can expect a lot of villains, gang fights, double-crossing and a lot of explosions.

Another game coming out is "Deadfall Adventures," which tasks players to hunt for treasures and recover an ancient artifact in a temple in Egypt. Playing as the child of the renowned adventurer James Lee Quatermain, the player gets immersed in the world of Mayan ruins, lost cities and forgotten civilizations.

While Xbox Live Gold subscribers wait for these games to become available, they can join and try out "Hand of the Gods," a new strategy card game that features mythological gods, monstrous creatures and dynamic spells. They will also be able to get an exclusive skin for the King of Gods, Zeus.
