En garde! Fruit meets fairytales in the juiciest iPhone game this year -- Fruit Ninja: Puss in Boots!

The suave fruit-slashing swashbuckler, Puss in Boots, faces a challenge that would make Sensei proud. His search for the Magic Beans brings him to developer Halfbrick’s legendary hit game Fruit Ninja. Prepare for a journey full of familiar and fruit slicing action he encounters a huge variety of new and exciting challenges!

Fruit Ninja: Puss in Boots features the all-new Bandito mode! Slice through a series of increasingly exciting challenges to become the greatest Fruit Ninja warrior ever! Each stage thrusts you into never-seen-before fruit frenzy adventure: Massive fruit from the Giant’s castle, precision and timing challenges, all-out fruit onslaughts with new obstacles And for the first time EVER: Throw down against the most-requested addition in Fruit Ninja history -- the tomato!

Real Banditos must put their best blade forward because scoring is based on the number of fruit sliced, ninja reflexes and slicing efficiency. A true produce warrior can attain massive high scores and upload their best to Global Leaderboards to compare against friends and the best players online!

Bring your blade to Desperado mode -- an enhanced and re-mastered version of the Classic Fruit Ninja game that introduced 70 million players to the world’s biggest dojo! But this time, you will face even more fruit, unique waves and Puss in Boots’ elusive Magic Beans from the DreamWorks Animation feature film!

Finally, bask in the fruit-stained glory of Puss in Boots’ own exclusive ninja Stash, featuring a whole range of unique customizable content, including new backgrounds and blades with elements from both the film and Fruit Ninja.

Stay juicy, amigos!

Get ready to strap on your ninja gear because Fruit Ninja Kinect is on the way to Xbox Live Arcade! With an announcement and hands-on demonstrations with media last week at E3, Fruit Ninja Kinect is already one of the most anticipated downloadable games of 2011.

FNK brings all of the action that millions of fans worldwide have been playing for over a year and takes it to the next generation using full Kinect support for slicing the world’s most perfectly delicious produce! Classic, Zen and Arcade modes are all available with online leaderboards and challenges, along with two brand new multiplayer modes exclusive to FNK.

Battle Mode pits two players head to head in a juicy melee where they must slice fruit of their own color -- but the white fruit are up for grabs and can be sliced by any player! Team Arcade is cooperative madness, featuring more fruit on-screen than any other Fruit Ninja game before.

FNK is officially part of Xbox Live’s Summer of Arcade promotion, so you can expect to see more news and announcements over the coming weeks leading up to release. Head over to the official page at Xbox.com to see all the media and marketplace content, and check out what some players had to say about their experience with the game at E3:]

NEW YORK TIMES
“I ran into this game by accident, and it provided the most fun I had in three minutes all week.”

DESTRUCTOID
“Fruit Ninja Kinect is surprisingly precise. In fact, it may be the most responsive Kinect game I’ve played to date, mirroring my actions one-to-one at a shocking smooth clip.”

CNN
“Conquering the Apple Store apparently wasn’t enough for these ninjas.”

GamePro
“I haven’t played many Kinect games that I really liked, but Fruit Ninja’s formula works incredibly will when paired up with the device, and plays like a natural party game.”

That’s pretty much all there is to it! We’ve just released a new update to Fruit Ninja HD for iPad (1.2.2) which resolves an annoying crash bug some of our fans were experiencing. However, that issue is no more thanks to the update, and to celebrate we’re putting the game on sale for the weekend! Over 60% off worldwide, you can now pick up FNHD for just US $0.99!

Simple as that guys -- get amongst it, and we promise to have more awesome content updates coming in the very near future!

This was sent to me by Jonathan Ellis (@jonathan_ellis) from University College London. His team created a virtual reality environment and used the opportunity to pay tribute to Fruit Ninja by creating their own awesome slicing game Teapot Ninja! Will we be seeing this kind of play in homes sometime soon? If more guys like this keep kicking ass, I definitely think so!
