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!

Fans around the world will definitely know of the game we have been working on for several months now -- Machine Gun Jetpack! It has received amazing coverage and lots of great buzz, but over time the game evolved so much that it became even bigger! Announcing Jetpack Joyride, the game formerly known as Machine Gun Jetpack, releasing September 1st and absolutely packed with content!

I got together with Luke Muscat, creator of Fruit Ninja and lead designer of Jetpack Joyride to chat about what you can expect with our biggest mobile release of the year. Don’t worry -- you will still be able to fly in the Machine Gun Jetpack in all its glory, but we’ve also added the Bubble, Steam, Laser and even Shark Head Jetpack to take for a ride! There’s no limit to the creativity we can bring to Jetpack Joyride and look forward to hearing just what the community is looking for in our future updates.

You’ll be riding in jetpacks, collecting coins, going for a spin in a huge variety of vehicles and even levelling up by completing in-game missions. On top of that, you can view your progress in The Stash, purchase new upgrades and items and compare scores online with your friends.

Jetpack Joyride is a huge package and one we’re incredibly excited to be releasing. It will be available for 99 cents worldwide as a universal app for both iPhone and iPad. Stay tuned for more information as we lead up to September 1st!

Today is an awesome new step for Barry Steakfries, hero of time and slayer of zombies! We have now released our awesome Age of Zombies, voted Best Playstation Mini of 2010, to the new Sony Ericsson Xperia Play!

This release includes all of the zombie-blasting action found in the current smartphone versions, but is an absolute dream to control with the Playstation Certified controls, including the two touch-sensitive thumbpads. As a dual-stick shooter, AOZ fits the Xperia controls perfecly and is a prime example on how to use the new hardware to its best abilities. We’ve put together a handy preview video above to show you a little bit about the Xperia Play and how AOZ works in action.

AOZ is currently available on the Android Market as an exclusive to Xperia Play, which means at this time it won’t function with other Android smartphones. However, in just a few short weeks we will have the full game up and running on the market on as many devices as possible, so stay tuned for all the latest AOZ news!

Today we can officially announce the release of the first downloadable content for our XBLA game Raskulls! Featuring a new Grand Prix and four extra characters, you can download it today for just 160 Microsoft Points – which also adds three new Achievements for 50 extra Gamerscore!

The extra Grand Prix, known as the Shiny Stone Cup, features four race levels and includes the new “Castle” environment! You can play these level both online and offline, using any of the previous characters or one of the new four:

KITTEN – A descendant from the legendary half-cat, half-skull and half-awesome Raskulls of the Faraway Mountains, Kitten is a cute yet deadly addition to the cast. Why deadly? Ask Little Billy Bobskull, the crippled boy in the Extensive Bite n’ Scratch ward at Raskulls General.

VIKING – One of King’s past rivals, Viking likes to pillage, loot and drink with the best of them. On the other hand, he’s big into haberdashery. Fine men’s suit craftsmanship does not a nice Raskull make.

SPACEMAN – Spaceman, I always wanted you to go | into space, man.

BARNEY – A Pirat minion of Captain J. Turncoat, Barney has the tendency to lose his pants and ice-cream money. As a mindless thug, he’s sub-par. As a potential hat rack or paperweight, he’s not bad at all.
