Celebrate Wallace & Gromit’s 20th Anniversary with free game download

John Williams - Thursday 05.11.09, 10:58am

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Wallace & Gromit, Telltale and Aardman Animations are offering free downloads of the full game episode of Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventure episode Muzzled!

The freebe will be available at the FreeWallaceandGromit website from November 4th until Monday November 9th.

In Muzzled! town newcomer, Monty Muzzle, is holding a fundraiser to rebuild the local dog shelter. Gromit soon realizes that Muzzle’s intentions aren’t exactly charitable and he must foil the huckster’s plot to save the town’s investment and rescue his canine friends.

In the review for Muzzled!, Armchair Empire hails the game as the best episode to that point with “strong story (a hallmark of all three episodes), a refreshing setting change to the carnival grounds, and a starring role for Gromit.”  Gamervision said of Muzzled!, “The humor is spot on, the new characters and locations are entertaining, and it’s obvious that Telltale has really found the niche into which Wallace and Gromit’s story fits.”

In addition the full four-episode PC season of Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures will be discounted to $20 (roughly £12 GBP) from $34.95 USD for these same dates in honor of the eccentric inventor and his canine companion’s two decade milestone.

Other Wallace & Gromit gaming news includes the XBLA launch of all four episodes of Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures, which will be available on Xbox LIVE® Arcade November 4, selling for 800 Microsoft Points each. The episodes, along with a premium theme and new gamer pics will be available on a special Wallace & Gromit branded destination page on Xbox LIVE Arcade.

Charity Drive - From November 4-8, Telltale is partnering with Wallace & Gromit Children’s Foundation and Penny Arcade’s Child’s Play, making donations to the charities for each full Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures PC season purchased. Telltale is also giving away free digital versions of the games to the children’s hospitals supported by the charities.

Collector’s DVD – Order taking begins November 4 for the Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures full season collector’s DVD for PC, which features all four episodes, behind the scenes videos, Aardman Animation’s Cracking Contraptions animated shorts, game trailers and full galleries from the making of the game, which include never-before-seen concept art.
