One of the most critically lauded games of the year on the App Store is now available free of charge. Halfbrick’s latest opus has even been considered by a few outlets as a game of the year contender. So if the $0.99 barrier to entry was just too much for your pocketbook to handle then now’s your chance to jump in.

If you’re still addicted to slicing up all manner of colorful produce, then you’ll want to swing on over to Xbox Live to pick up your free Fruit Ninja Kinect Christmas DLC.

The content pack expands Halfbrick’s ultra-popular opus by adding in the ability to turn your body into something like a snowglobe, as well as other holiday-themed surprises like a candy-cane slicing blade. It’s a shame there’s not more gameplay content, but you can’t argue with free.

“We could knock out a Fruit Ninja 2 in a couple of months and it would probably sell gangbusters, but we wouldn’t be satisfied with that. We put a lot of pressure on ourselves. Even when we were working on licensed titles we were determined to make the best games we could possibly make. We want to make really fantastic games and keep building Halfbrick as a company that people identify as making quality, interesting, unique titles.”

– Halfbrick’s Luke Muscat, speaking to Kotaku. Fruit Ninja is available for iOS, Kinect, Windows Phone 7, and is part of the Android Marketplace’s rotating selection of 10 cent apps today, so no excuses.

Fruit Ninja developer Halfbrick and ToyFoundry have joined forces to deliver a range of plushies based on the Kinect and iOS game about dismembering innocent foodstuffs. Now you can own your very own grinning watermelon – although cutting it in half with your decorative tanto is probably not the best plan. Plushies start from AUD $14.99 and ship worldwide. Hit up the brand new Fruit Ninja store for more information.
