Aardman Animations first Wallace & Gromit short, A Grand Day Out, debuted twenty years ago in 1989, and this is naturally a reason to celebrate. Telltale definitely is, as it is not only marking the occasion by releasing Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures on the Xbox 360 and donating to Child’s Play, it is also offering a free episode of the PC version of the game to anyone who visits the a special Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures website.

If you go to the website and provide your email address and a password, you can get the third episode in the series, Muzzled!, for free. It’s the full game, and once you’ve signed up Telltale will send you an email with the serial number needed to unlock it. The only catch is that the promotion is scheduled to end at 12pm PST on November 9, 2009.

As mentioned earlier, the four episodes of Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures are now on the Xbox 360 for 800 Microsoft Points each. Telltale is also donating to Child’s Play, giving away free copies of Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures and giving money for each PC season of the game ordered between November 4-8, 2009. The company is also taking orders for the Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures collector’s PC DVD starting today.

Is it just me, or is it odd that Telltale decided to offer the third episode in the Wallace & Gromit’s Grand Adventures for free, and not the first episode? You’d think Telltale would want to hook potential customers in by starting with Fright of the Bumblebee instead.
