Wallace And Gromit Adventuring To Xbox Live Arcade
Who doesn't love Wallace and Gromit? The duo has absolutely charmed the pants (or trousers rather) off of me with their short films, and I know I'm not alone. And thanks to the good folks over at Telltale Games, there is going to be a series of episodic games in the form of Wallace and Gromit's Grand Adventures.
But it won't just be a grand adventure for Wallace and Gromit, because Telltale games is taking an adventure of their own bringing the episodic game for the first time to the Xbox 360. That's right, Wallace and Gromit's Grand Adventures will be available for both PC and the Xbox 360 through Live Arcade, with the first episode available this spring. That's only six weeks away if oversized rodents are to be believed.
And from the sound of it, this won't be the last project Telltale Games brings to the 360, since their press release makes a note at the bottom reading "*Not so subtle hint: additional XBLA announcements will be coming in the near future!" Oh the excitement! Although I am curious as to how these point-and-click adventures will play on the 360, given the distinct lack of devices with which to point and/or click.

Probably like Grim Fandango, since it's in 3D. Move around, press A to pick up, B to examine, X to talk, etc. Y for inventory.
Microsoft is sitting on a goldmine by not releasing mouse/keyboard peripherals for the 360. I can't even tell you how many more games for that system I'd buy if I weren't forced to use a gamepad to play them.
