Here is an overview of the games:
Yoku’s Island Express
All Yoku wants to do is soak up the rays delivering parcels in his new job in a tropical paradise. But first he must traverse the island helping others and try to waken an ancient deity trapped in a restless sleep. Explore the colorful open world of Mokumana, test your pinball skills, and earn wild new power-ups to help the friendly locals.
The Inner World – The Last Monk
Embark on an adventure thru Asposia to find the last wind monk and fulfill Robert’s destiny as the heir to the flute nose throne. Switch seamlessly between playing as Robert, Laura, the rebel who flies off the handle, or Peck, the pigeon who doesn’t fly at all. This charming adventure game is filled with brainteasers, humor, beautiful music, and lots of heart.
Hydro Thunder Hurricane
Speed through eleven mysterious race environments like Monster Island and the Bermuda Triangle, each one packed with massive jumps, drop-offs, secret shortcuts and destructible objects. Unleash aqua anarchy as you try out various modes and compete to be the first to cross the finish line.
Viva Piñata Party Animals
Get ready for lots of fun for everyone! Compete as Hudson Horstachio, Franklin Fizzlybear, and others across over 40 minigames mixed with race events. Combine your wins and bonuses to get the most candy and be crowned the victor

Yoku is good and I had Hydro Thunder on the Dreamcast, I’ll check out this one too. I think it was offered already years back but I didn’t get it then.
I really think it's time for them to end the games with gold program. The fact that this qualifies as a good month says a lot more about how bad most months are rather than how good this one is.
I can't remember the last time I downloaded one of these "free games". It has to have been a couple of years.
Not bad.
Some excellent games this month. Hydro Thunder is a can't-go-wrong series of games, and the Viva Pinata games had deeper gameplay than most people gave them credit for.
That's Viva Pinata Party Animals though. It's a Mario party like game. Anyways, I've wanted a new Viva Pinata game for years now.
Ohhhhh.... right you are, that's probably NOT as deep as the mainline Viva Pinata games. Damn.
Probably still fun for a few laughs though.
