May’s Xbox Games with Gold grants Viva Piñata, Hydro Thunder and more

Not a bad month, if you missed out on some classic fan favorite titles in the Xbox catalog, including Hydro Thunder and Viva Piñata: Party Animals.

It’s new to you

Okay so I’m past the whole ‘these games are old as dirt’ thing. Really, I won’t mention it again. Though that’s partially because I kinda dig what Microsoft has up for free this month. Well, not completely.

While I’ve never played either Yoku’s Island Express or The Inner World, they don’t look all that enrapturing. Maybe it’s me. On the flip side though, I do like both Hydro Thunder and Viva Piñata: Party Animals.

I never picked Party Animals. And while Hydro Thunder is a game that I seem to buy in all its forms, and for everything, I missed it for Xbox 360. So, ‘I’ll take it’ is what I’m saying.

Here’s the full listing, along with a look at the games in question (and you should totally grab Hydro Thunder):

• Yoku’s Island Express ($19.99 ERP): Available May 1 to 31
• The Inner World – The Last Wind Monk ($19.99 ERP): Available May 16 to June 15
• Hydro Thunder Hurricane ($9.99 ERP): Available May 1 to 15
• Viva Piñata Party Animals ($9.99 ERP): Available May 16 to 31
