The third episode in a four part series, Telltale Games’ Wallace and Gromit’s Grand Adventures: Muzzled! is a welcome departure from the saturated market of testosterone fueled action packed games.
Forcing players to use their brains (a scary thought for some), players must guide either Wallace or Gromit (most of the times Gromit) through a multitude of puzzles in order to solve the greater mystery surrounding West Wallaby Street.
When I first started Wallace and Gromit’s Grand Adventures: Fright of the Bumblebees, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Though after playing through the game, I found that Telltale Games understood the license that they acquired and continued the humor and quality that the shorts and movies had. With the second episode, The Last Resort, Telltale Games improves on the quality of the first episode while changing the theme from a point-and-click adventure, to a mystery solving quest.

I had a chance to have a hands-on play test of Telltale Games second episode of their Wallace and Gromit series. It’s apparent that Telltale is working hard on making sure the license is being used to its fullest extent. I enjoyed the first episode in the series, though I had a little trouble with some of the puzzles in the game. This second episode looks to follow a different direction.
Telltale Games is releasing their newest episodic game series in the form of Wallace and Gromit. Most people have seen the shorts and possibly the movie, but how does Wallace and Gromit transfer to the gaming universe? Decently well, though small issues here and there can become frustrating.

People have always looked to escape into fantastic worlds and stories. This facet of the human condition has produced story-driven entertainment in the form of books, films and story-centered video games. But before the World of Warcraft, there were the countless worlds of Final Fantasy, and even before that there was the kingdom of King’s Quest. Despite the long history and pedigree of quality games, it seems that the adventure genre has run out of steam.
