Nokia N8 having support of better hardware with 680 MHz ARM 11 processor with dedicated processor for 2D/3D graphics acceleration along with support for OpenGL ES 2.0, OpenGL ES 1.1 and OpenVG 1.1, really called the developers to develop for it.

Fruit Ninja
Halfbrick released Fruit Ninja for Symbian^3 devices a bit lately but I appreciate that they didn’t left a well capable platform knowing that there is really a user base on Symbian after Symbian^3 it’s been even more. Fruit Ninja is also one of the popular games on Android and iOS which I, personally, felt lacking on Nokia N8 but got really very grateful after this release.
There are 3 different modes of play with different targets to keep in mind. There are locked blades and backgrounds which you unlock on achieving hidden targets.
It also has been getting popularity on Symbian^3 version. There are, however, some limitations on Symbian version like multi-touch support, which we hope, would be added later. Until then take a look at the following game shots and try your self.
