If you're unfamiliar with the animated adventures of Wallace and Gromit, then consider yourself unlucky. The clay-mated pair have starred in four short films, two of which won Academy Awards for best Animated Short, as well as a full-length feature, "Curse of the Were-Rabbit," which also won an Oscar. With an unmistakable brand of British humor and a distinct visual style, the pair's cinematic excursions have been can't-miss affairs. Their previous video-game versions, on the other hand, have mostly been slapped-together kids' games that didn't capture the magic of the movie originals very well.
‘Adventure games have been through quite a transition over the past 2 decades. Like so many genres throughout the noughties the humble adventure game struggled for relevance and attention. It failed to evolve and change to meet the tastes of a rapidly developing audience. Fortunately the genre has experienced a resurgence in success and interest over the last 4 years, and this recovery in large part can be attributed to the output of a single developer; Telltale Games.’
I love basically every games telltale have bought out, their story telling can only be beaten by naughty dog imo.
If you wanted to check out Telltale Games' earlier works, time has run out. The studio's version of Wallace & Gromit's Grand Adventures, first published in 2009, has been pulled from all digital retailers as the distribution agreement with Aardman Studios expires.

"The Humble Indie Bundle is in full swing, already selling over 245,000 copies at the time of writing, however the company has also got a new Humble Weekly Sale which, this week, includes a selection of Telltale Games titles, including all 5 episodes of OnlySP’s 2012 Game Of The Year, The Walking Dead."
