Join Wallace & Gromit in The Last
Resort, the Newest Game from Telltale and Aardman
Crafty inventor and canine
companion ready for beach holiday, even if the English weather isn’t
Telltale and Aardman are announcing
the release of The Last Resort, the latest of four monthly Wallace & Gromit
games that open up the world of West Wallaby Street like never before. "The Last
Resort" is available today for PC from
www.telltalegames.com
as part of the Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures series. The games will also
be coming soon to Xbox LIVE® Arcade.
Telltale’s Wallace & Gromit games
are like interactive films, with humorous storylines and creative characters
conceived in collaboration with Aardman’s award-winning team. In the new
episode, Wallace and Gromit’s Blackpool holiday is rained out, so the
enterprising inventor and his clever dog bring the beach to their basement with
the construction of West Wallaby Waterworld, a makeshift resort complete with
sun, sand, and Wallace’s homemade boardwalk attractions. Keeping their guests
satisfied turns out to be tricky business, particularly after one is thumped on
the head by an unknown assailant. Everyone is a suspect! Now Wallace and Gromit
must work together to finger the culprit, with a little help from Wallace’s
latest invention: the Deductomatic.
Customers can purchase the Wallace &
Gromit’s Grand Adventures series from
www.telltalegames.com,
and the first two episodes, Fright of the Bumblebees and The Last Resort, will
be delivered digitally with their checkout. The full series purchase from
Telltale also includes the Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures Collector’s DVD,
containing the four games plus bonus content for just the cost of shipping
shortly after the finale episode. The third and fourth Wallace & Gromit’s Grand
Adventures episodes will release for PC in June and July.
Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures
launched in March to rave reviews, with Yahoo! Games UK calling the premiere
episode "Wallace and Gromit’s finest and best looking video game outing to
date." IGN awarded the episode with its coveted Editor’s Choice Award, saying,
"Telltale nails the look and feel of a Wallace & Gromit short film."
The four-episode Wallace & Gromit’s
Grand Adventures series sells for $34.95 (approx 24). To purchase the game,

About Wallace & Gromit
Wallace An endearing and affable
inventor. Ever enthusiastic, Wallace’s hair-brained, over-ambitious, yet well
intentioned ideas consistently get him and his faithful hound into trouble. A
definite penchant for cheese and crackers, not to mention fashionable knitwear!
Gromit Wallace’s long-suffering
loyal pooch. Gromit cares greatly for Wallace even though he’s often railroaded
into his master’s mad-cap plans. Though cultured and sensitive, preferring order
and the quiet life, Gromit displays amazing courage and heroism when it comes to
getting his master out of self-made scrapes. Always showing astonishing
initiative, Gromit is definitely the intelligent one of the pair.
