Jump off of buildings
Create your own stunts
Impress the crowd by kissing skyscrapers
Flip people off for points

Microsoft Flight is a free to play flight simulator very reminiscent to the older Microsoft Flight Simulator products. This one is based around Hawaii and lets you just fly about, do some geo catching, or fly online with others via multiplayer (GFWL).
While the title is indeed free to play, the catch 22 is that if you want additional planes or areas its DLC that you must purchase.
