Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures Finale takes game to the green - News
By Paguba Florin
Published: July 30, 2009
Print The final episode of Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures releases
today, completing a four-month escapade that has taken the famous
inventor and his faithful pooch through a madcap series of wild and
engaging new stories. Available today for PC at www.telltalegames.com,
"The Bogey Man" puts Wallace's mechanical and social skills - not to
mention his golf swing - to the test. Filled with unrequited romance,
hidden mysteries, perplexing contraptions, and a heavy dose of comic
relief, "The Bogey Man" brings the series to an exciting climax in
grand Wallace & Gromit style.
In the previous episode,
Wallace inadvertently got down on one knee before his prim neighbor
Felicity Flitt - who interpreted the gesture as a marriage proposal. In
a twisted plot true to Wallace & Gromit form, his only chance for a
reprieve is admission into the prestigious Prickly Thicket country
club, an association distained by the Flitt family due to a
centuries-old dispute. It seems like the perfect escape, but once
Wallace is admitted into the club, he learns of a much larger mystery
that must be solved to protect the West Wallaby Street lifestyle he and
Gromit hold dear. Built by Wallace and Gromit's own ancestors, the club
itself is a grand machine in the style of Wallace's own inventions, and
its mechanical inner-workings hide a secret that must be recovered to
return life back to normal. Only Wallace and Gromit have the technical
know-how to unlock the mysteries protected by this contraption to top
all contraptions!
Over the last four months, Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures has taken the heroes through exciting new stories - from a honey business plagued by giant problems (and giant bees!), to a whodunit set at an underground beach resort in Wallace's cellar, to a heartwarming tale of canine wiles triumphing over an oily villain's greedy deceit. Today's release represents the first time the complete episodic series is available on PC, making now the ideal time for new players to dive in and enjoy all four Grand Adventures stories.
Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures made its debut on Xbox LIVE Arcade this spring with Fright of the Bumblebees, which can be downloaded for 800 Microsoft points. The series is due to complete its Xbox LIVE Arcade run in the coming months, with the official release date announcements expected shortly.
Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures has been just one of numerous recent highlights for the characters, who are celebrating their 20th Anniversary this year. Their highly successful short film, A Matter of Loaf and Death, has been airing around the globe since its triumphant Christmas debut and will begin distribution in the US on DVD this coming fall. The pair are also featuring in 'Wallace & Gromit present A World of Cracking Ideas', a major exhibition celebrating innovation at the Science Museum in London. Telltale's Wallace & Gromit games are designed for the same all-ages audience as the duo's other endeavors and will be enjoyed by gamers and non-gamers alike.

Command and Conquer 3: Kane's Wrath
Welcome back, LEGION. Indeed, Joe Kucan is back, portraying the legendary self-proclaimed prophet Kane, through 20 years of Command and Conquer history: past, present and future.

Sins of a Solar Empire
The stellar "Sins of a Solar Empire" hits our PCs with a unique interesting new combination of game genres and a few cool ideas that should draw the attention of quite a few strategy fans. The newcomer Ironclad Games managed the impossible and created a competitive title indeed. But aside from all the prays and high marks this game received overall, its approach on RTS and the mix of elements it brings, one can find some things that will bother a few players and that will eventually influence the grades of this review. Ok, let's take it from the top.

Sherlock Holmes versus Arsene Lupin
Sherlock Holmes, the worlds` greatest detective, created by Arthur Conan Doyle is about to face his biggest challenge so far: Arsene Lupin, the worlds` greatest thief, created by Maurice Leblanc. Who is going to win this battle of wits? Who is going to be victorious, and, most importantly, who would you like to see as the winner?

Silent Hunter 4: Pacific U-Boat Missions
I thought a bit about how to start this. While saying that Silent Hunter IV is the best submarine simulator out there is true, it doesn't mean much, especially for new players. Saying it is one of the best simulator games out there is again accurate, but again, a bit of an understatement. Why? Well because... despite the high complexity and realism involved, Ubisoft Romania managed to develop a game that is appealing to the beginners as well, in a certain degree.

Sword of the New World: Granado Espada
Lineage II had it share of success. At the time the game was released, it was one of the most beautiful MMOG on the market. To take its place as the most beautiful MMOG, the Ragnarok Online (or RO) developers from imcGames created Sword of the New World: Granado Espada.

GC: Disciples 3: Renaissance
We were able to take part in 2 battles and what we saw pleased us. The transition to the 3D helped the game and gave it a better view on the battlefield. You can move the camera and this way you get a better look at the action. The units are amazing and their animations are clean and good looking. Same goes for spells and effects: you will love what you see.

Last week I began to search some new independent games. Suddenly I stumbled upon this interesting racing game called Nitro Stunt Racing. The title sounds non-original but the content tends to be if not original, at least interesting.

GC: Aion Tower of Eternity
In a perfect world, everything is controlled by a balance between Chaos and Order. But what happens if things start to get messy and a great evil is about to unleash an epic conflict onto the universe? This is what NCsoft decided to unveil and also explain why Aion is a MMO bound to have success.

Race 07
So here I am back on the road with a BMW. This time in Race 07 demo. The only racing-simulation game that really impressed me at GC. But only with the help of the Steam client which probably will become the "god" of online distribution! Anyway a big minus for this decision of playing the game only through Steam.
