Why the exclamation point, Chad? Is this news really that exciting? Simple answer: YES! Anything involving Wallace & Gromit is the most amazing thing ever. And anyone that doesn’t think so can kindly run into oncoming traffic (<3).
Telltale Games just sent us over a handful of first official screens from its recently announced game Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures. And they look great! Well, they look great just for the fact that they remind me exactly of the classic animated shorts (and feature film). You can even see fingerprints on the “clay!”
Sadly, there is still no real word on what kind of game Grand Adventures actually is. We do know it will be released in episodic installments. But is it a classic adventure game (yes, please)? Action? Driving (no, thank you)? Of course we here at Destructoid will let you know the minute we find out more.
What do you think? Given the poor reception of past Wallace & Gromit games, are you at all excited for Grand Adventures? Like me, are you hoping Feathers McGraw makes an appearance in this game?

Fusiontr - Did they rebuild after the fire?!?! I thought they were DONE!!! That's awesome if they've infact come back!
I hope the games prove to carry on the legacy appropriately. It does look very good
I'm sure that this will be on the Internet come tomorrow night anyway.
@Tubatic:
The studios were not destroyed. The warehouse where the props, storyboard, and equipment was destroyed. Nick Park said that in the grand scheme of things what was lost were just "things". Yes, history was lost in that fire, but "things" can be rebuilt.
That game will be so mine. I will push old ladies out of my way if I have to.
You don't trust Telltale? Oh, someone's must be wearing the wrong trousers because he's being a tight-ass against a good game company.
*cough*
" Nick Park said that in the grand scheme of things what was lost were just "things""
LOL you know, when I heard that before, I thought it was the guy having a "Stiff Upper Lip" about everything being destroyed! That's amazing!
Like JohnB said, they didn't disappear after they lost things in the fire
Which is why I love Aardman Animations and Nick Park himself, because not even a fire can keep them from making amazing films
All 3 Wallace & Gromit shorts from "Grand Day Out" to "A Close Shave" played on G.O.L.D today
It was amazing
I love Wallace & Gromit so much
