I found two indie games that I found to be quite, dare I say, cute. One is Machinarium which looks to be like an adventure game, every character is a robot, the city is made of metal and by god it does look cute. Then I saw Minecraft which looked like it could be fun, but fun like LSD: Dream Emulator where you think, "Oh this could relieve some time" but fear it may bore you even more. When I watched the Minecraft video the guy was digging up roses and trees and planting them elseware and mining dirt, rock, and ore. He even explored caves and that seemed a bit fun.
The one indie game I've tried and had the most fun with (I should buy it) is Cortex Command. Cortex Command is a side scrolling shooter that had me playing for hours trying to protect my base from evil robots and watching the destroyed aircraft and robot bodies pile into mountains. I shot down each transport with the Flak Cannon and giggled as the transport spiraled out of control and hit the ground exploding. Was it cute? I dunno, depends on your definition of cute.
Here's the price for all these...
Machinarium (Pre-Order) is $17 (Mac/PC)
Minecraft is FREE (Java)
Cortex Command is $18 or FREE DEMO (Mac/PC)
What?! Two posts in the same month?!?

woah cheet, I need to dl some of these games
Machinarium looks really interesting... it sorta reminds me of Professor Layton, the way the graphics look, and it has that point-and-click feel to it. I'm not gonna lie, I didn't look at the other games. I was too lazy.
Just bought some Japanese movie "Versus," it's either going to be awesome or suck. Either way, it should be entertaining. Oh, and I bought Neon Genesis Evangelion, too, and a bunch of 30 Rock episodes.
I have Versus in a nice tin case! It is an awesome movie, a bit long though. Did inspire Hideo Kojima. I have 30 Rock Season 2.
