Trendy Gamers: I have to admit that I had never downloaded a single game in the Xbox Live Indie section until this year. Microsoft really doesn’t do a good job of marketing any of the Indie games and they are even quite difficult to find on the dashboard (especially with the new update). It truly is a shame that they are so hard to find because for just $1, you can get some great gaming experiences.
If the language and excessive violence don’t bother you, Cute Things Dying Violently may be worth picking up for less than a dollar on mobile devices or for three dollars on PC/Mac/Steam. The level editor is easy enough for a kid to use but due to the gore and drug references it’s probably best for them to stick to Angry Birds.

Cute Things Dying Violently is a game where the player may choose to rescue cute critters. These are the types of critters that one would expect to find wandering around aimlessly in a flower bed, through grassy planes, or even in a lightly wooded forest area. However, as I said, the player has a choice, and that choice may lead the player into causing a certain and painful death. Either intentionally, or even quite possibly accidentally. The player may choose to throw these critters onto spikes, into fire hazards, within a bolt of lightning, cause death due to falling, or the player’s choice of small to large buzzsaws can be utilized as well. I really think the developer watched one too many “Saw” movies.
In this review, Alexx discusses how Cute Things Dying Violently is fun, but seems like something from a Flash game Site - "I found the gameplay pretty enjoyable (though it was somewhat average; like a flash game that would be found on Newgrounds or Kongregate.)"
