Here’s a video I just shot of the recently released Fruit Ninja Xbox Live enabled game on Windows Phone 7. Fruit Ninja is a pretty neat game that you might have already played or seen on the iPhone / iPod Touch or iPad were the goal is to cut / slice as many fruits as you can by swiping you finger across the screen. The game runs correctly  on the device (the Samsung Omnia 7 in this case) and looks identical to the original version (fruits are rendered in 3D) but there are sometimes micro pauses when something loads (when doing combos for example the game stutters a bit).  There’s nothing too fancy about it but this is really the kind of game that is perfect on a touch screen mobile device. Check it out after the break.

The game is available right now as a Trial version in the Marketplace and can be bought for $2.99. Fruit Ninja is definitely one of the best (if not the best!) Windows Phone 7 game right now.
